Castle Shikigami 2 belongs to the danmaku shoot 'em up tradition, the shooting subgenre where the screen fills with bullet patterns that must be dodged with surgical precision, here with an aesthetic of sorceresses and Japanese supernatural creatures as narrative framework.
It's a game designed for the genre's hardcore fans, which reached the West thanks to shmup-specialized publishers like Ignition Entertainment, at a time when this kind of offering was already a minority outside Japan.
