We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Platformer fans who want a sister-rescue adventure

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, tightly focused platformer may find the 25-plus-level structure too substantial

- Players seeking a large-scale role-playing system may find the platformer scope limited
Our take on Shiro
The store page foregrounds the rescue story and lists several features, but gives little indication of how the events, mini-games and combat are distributed across the more than 25 levels. The result is a clearer genre picture than a detailed view of the campaign's moment-to-moment structure.

The journey crosses a dense forest, an ancient temple and dangerous dungeons. Gameplay combines platforming with combat against enemies, alongside more than 25 levels, special events and mini-games. The world is presented in pixel-art style and includes rabbits and changing activity. The store page also offers a demo.
