The game was later localized overseas by Nyu Media on January 24, 2013 through DESURA and [=GamersGate=]. The English release also features new UsefulNotes/{{H|ighDefinition}}D filters and widescreen support, in-game {{Achievement|System}}s, and local scoreboards. After being [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140325024947/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=114203390 greenlit]] on Platform/{{Steam}}, an UpdatedRerelease titled ''Cröixleur Sigma'' was released on April 30, 2014.

* NoFourthWall: The Communication Mode introduced in the ''Deluxe Edition'' versions of the game, where the player can converse with the girls from a first-person perspective while they talk to the player directly with a pre-defined set of dialogue, and the player can also respond to them using the face buttons/keys. Lucrezia also calls the player "Mr. Sparkles".

* TimedMission: The Story Mode is on a time limit of 15 minutes for Lucrezia's and Francesca's campaign or 30 minutes for Katerina's and Sara-Annika's campaign. Time Attack mode gives you 3 minutes to score as much points as possible.

Its story is set in the country of Irance, a land ruled by a wise and brave Queen where two factions, the Nobile House Beshie and the Knight House Shelta, have vied for power for generations.

Gameplay-wise, it is an arcade-styled hack and slash where your strength and reflexes will be tested against waves upon waves of enemies under a time limit. The gameplay is very reminiscent to the Bloody Palace mode found in the later entries of the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' series as you must slay your enemies quickly as possible and take various routes to fight the next set of enemies. Lucrezia (and the other girls, in later re-releases) can take with her to four different swords before each game, each with their own strengths and unique special attacks to help her chain effective combos.
