Our take on Alice!
The game combines direct shooting with ally management, weapon development, and variable skill choices. That broader structure gives up the focus of a straightforward shooter: attention is divided between aiming, progression decisions, and maintaining a defense team.
What is Alice!?
Defend a castle in a shooting game centered on Alice and her struggle to protect it.
Enemies advance while the player aims and fires, with weapons that can be improved, evolved, and fitted with MODs. Skill choices shape progression, although the available selection may not always match the preferred option. Alice can recruit BUDDY allies, who can carry weapons and learn skills of their own. The game incorporates some roguelike elements for New Game Plus features and develops with a simulation-style structure as castle defense continues. Its story follows Alice’s growth, while the overall presentation combines defense shooting with casual play.
