Description

"Purikura Daisakusen" is a vibrant arcade-style shoot 'em up game, released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Saturn in 1996. Developed by Atlus and published by Klon, the game combines fast-paced shooting action with whimsical, charming graphics that diverge from the more common militaristic themes of the genre. Set in a colorful and imaginative world, players choose one of three unique characters: Kiki, Ruru, or Gure, each with their own style of attack and magical abilities. The game's title derives from "Purikura," which is short for "Print Club," a reference to the popular photo sticker booths in Japan, emphasizing the game's playful and youthful spirit.

The gameplay consists of a top-down perspective where the player must navigate through various levels filled with an array of enemies and obstacles. The primary objective is to defeat enemies using the character's unique abilities and to collect power-ups and coins. One notable feature of "Purikura Daisakusen" is its RPG element; players can use collected coins to upgrade their characters' stats and abilities, adding depth and a personalized approach to the game strategy. Multiplayer mode allows two players to team up, enhancing the fun and dynamic of cooperative gameplay. Although it never saw a release outside of Japan, "Purikura Daisakusen" garnered a cult following due to its adorable graphics, engaging gameplay, and the novelty of its charming arcade shooter experience.
