Rose & Camellia Collection Review: A Retro Rogue’s Return

When Technical Troubles Can't Trump Storytelling

Welcome to the world of Rose & Camellia, where disputes are settled not with negotiations or compromise, but with open palms across cheeks. This slap-based battling series rose to online fame years ago in its original Flash form, tasking players with representing high-society heroines in a series of dignified (and not-so-dignified) duels.

Now the whole collections comes to Switch in Rose & Camellia Collection. Across five distinctive stories, you’ll guide ladies like Reiko through feuds with meddlesome in-laws, obstinate servants and more. The first finds Reiko slapping her inheritance from tight-fisted relatives after her husband’s passing. Later entries follow other protagonists on challengers of their own, like Saori defending her title as top matriarch. A bonus tale even crosses over with the characters of adventure game La-Mulana.

While the plots center around familial disputes and social challenges as shallow as one may find, their resolution through slap-based showdowns brings both humor and empowerment to these determined dames. With imagery charmingly lifting the silliness to new dignified heights, Rose & Camellia Collection offers lighthearted fun that honors the spirit of its meme-bred origins while introducing its absurdist antics to new fans. Now the slapping begins!

Eccentric Encounters

Within the world of Rose & Camellia, a lady’s work is never done – but settling scores is! Across five splendidly strange scenarios, a rogue’s gallery of charming characters trade barbs and backhands galore as they each aim to claim victory.

Reiko Tsubakikoji kicks off the slap-sticked saga in the inaugural game, seeking her rightful role as matriarch. But meddlesome in-laws stand in her way, each pledging to put her in her place. From resentful siblings to supernatural servants, Reiko slaps them all to earn her place. Later entries like Saori’s revenge match and the maid-slap world tour introduce new heroines each with ambitions of their own.

No bout is complete without whimsical warriors worth the wallops. An aunt who crawled from the attic, ninjas plotting robot rule – the characters seemingly leap from the pages of a penny dreadful. Yet their theatrics feel tailored not to terrify but titillate, with introductions embellished by dramatic flair. Witnessing these eccentric encounters unfold is amusing antics indeed.

Dialogue delivers double the delight, crackling with cheek and charm through voices full of verve, whether in English or Japanese. Turns of phrase tug hard at the corners of your mouth if not your sides. For all the absurdity however, shallow squabbles seem the sole sparks for conflict. Inheritance intrigue or maid might feel minor manners to mobilize entire militias.

Overall these adventures offer lighthearted laughter rather than weighty wisdom. But for seeing setting and characters strutting their stuff so splendidly, their stories require little more. In Rose & Camellia, slapping around such splendid silly souls proves sufficient satisfying sensation for any seeking simple smiles.

Rhythmic Rivalries

Within Rose & Camellia’s world, conflict is resolved through dance of hands. Players step into the slippers of spirited souls pitted against pardoned peers in passages of pulpy poetry punched out in palm. In each encounter, protagonists must outmaneuver challengers through cunning counters and contact crunching.

Rose & Camellia Collection Review

Battles unfold as rhythmic rapports with rivals. Taking turns, opponents aim smacks while snakes slither past. Successful strikes see stamina shaved, fewer flowers left blooming for the picking. Miss, and the menace may moon you with their own mean meeting of mittens. Mastering motion proves pivotal – pinpointing preparatory poses portends their ploy, permitting perfect protection.

Controlling the clamor calls for care. Intuitive inputs invite immersion through imitation. Swish systems let liveliness leap from limbs, lending living language to ladies’ litigious lockups. Touch too aids authentic actions, though precision proves patchy at pulses’ peaks. Calibration could cure such quirks, consenting clarity in close calls.

While fundamentals stay firm, foes’ approaches evolve. Each scenario scripts sisters’ scornful journeys, jazzing tactics to tantalize and try tenacity. Advanced adversaries add augmentations, activating abilities amid adrenaline. Outmaneuvering outlandish offenses over increasingly intricate rounds demands dexterity’s finest details be dissected.

Though repetition risks rankling for some, rising challenges maintain momentum. Grace under pressure proves paramount as perils press ever proximate. Those persevering painters find portraits pacing to pleasing precipices, prevailing through practiced poise in these pugilistic portraits of a prideful past.

Refined Royalty

Visuals remain vibrant within this victorian venture. Fans will feel familiarity as illustrations invoke iconic internet origins. Atmospheric animation adheres to anime aesthetic, accentuating each adversary’s attitude. Ardent artistry animates characters cunningly.

Rose & Camellia Collection Review

Localized language expands enjoyment. English excellently echoes witty wordplay, amusing anyone appreciating absurdity. Subtitles similarly streamline stories for several speaker’s sake. Switching between Japanese and other options offers opportunities to observe nuanced delivery’s diversity.

Unfortunately, loading lingers long where least needed. Basic backgrounds breezily breath between bouts, birthing bewilderment that buffering burdens blessed brevity so. Battles briskly begin once booted, belying why waiting wears patience paper thin. Possibly polishing could pare pending pauses, permitting pleasures pursuits without perturbation’s pall.

Persistence past problems pays in presentation’s prize. Pretty portraits please the eye each encounter. Eager enthusiasts will feel fulfilled finding favorites’ flashy finishes faithfully featured. Fine-tuning future function could free flicker-free flow, facilitating focused fun without frustration – but for now, one finds enjoyment enough in refined royalty’s radiant realizations alone.

Battling for the Best

Rose & Camellia Collection offers options to engage in single and multiplayer smackdowns. Story Mode involves scenario campaigns where different characters strive for supremacy. Complete initial scenarios to unlock more, with each pitting a protagonist against toughening adversaries.

Rose & Camellia Collection Review

Reiko heads the first tale, seeking inheritance from in-laws through duels of dignity. Subsequent scenarios see others aim to usurp power. Mulbruk even slaps female figures from video game La-Mulana into submission. Conquering all unseals bonus contents.

Should difficulty delay such rewards, perseverance remains key. Returning bests each baddy with experience gained. Sidestepping sends some sprawling while perfect parries see peers pleading for pardons. Smacktalk spices scenario servings, with quips keeping clicks chuckling till credits.

When Story satisfaction sparks spats, head to Versus. Over 30 characters await assignment as challengers or defenders. Direct deadly digits at display companions or CPU controllers command combatants. Challengers call rivals out while title track trumpets introductions. Victory vaults victors to new opponents until ultimate unification unfolds.

Sadly same-system spars stay solo obligations. No online options occur for distant duking. Local living room lynchpins limit lively league listings. Still, selectable scenarios plus selectable societal stand-ins supply sufficient smack-based bliss before boredom bells call battles to bed. Overall, Collection content counts as an agreeable amusement, whether sparring solo or slapping siblings.

Rousing Repeat Rounds

While many matches may be make quick work of foes once familiar patterns pinpointed, Rose & Camellia Collection maintains merriment for multiple meets. Absurd adversaries offer amusement each affray, assuring antics stay fresh regardless fast finishes. Resolutions remain riotousness guaranteed Reiko ready rematches.

Rose & Camellia Collection Review

Character cast counts clowning colleagues calculated countless, courageous competitors constantly clamouring contests. Cutesy creations each carry cherished qualities, keeping keen combats keen. Sahori schemers scintillate separately from silly servants’ slaps. Scenarios shift settings sunnily, sustaining story surprise. Such splendid style should stimulate sleuthing subsequent secrets should speedy successors seek secrets.

Further, finessed fighters likely find fun furthering familiarity versus compatriots. Controls conquerable for capable hands, experimenting escapades enlivens evenings. Each elegant enemy’s exposed eventually, even eventually easiest erst enemies excelled erstwhile. Friends following fully may feel faceoffs freshen frequently, finding formidable foes feel further faint forever.

While tale tells tersely, tasty treats tempt to test tales’ limits. Absurdity ahead assures adventures await eager eyes should energy exist experiencing exciting escapades eternally. Resolute replays remain rewarding regardless rush throughs. Silly slaps satisfy should suitably sourced.

A Slapstick Sendoff

Though slap-fights tell tall tales through several scenarios, technical hitches trouble the telling at times. Load screens loom too long between scenes, hindering the hook of bizarre battles. Controls fail to connect clean combats as well, as motion maneuvers prove laggy versus lightning rivals. Such flaws smart, souring success. Repetition also risks wearing readers down the road.

Rose & Camellia Collection Review

Still, absurdity keeps audiences amused. Absurd antics hold attention through repetitive rounds. Outlandish outings and offbeat opponents offer fresh fun, even if formula stays familiar. Witty writing works wonders too, delivering delightfully dumb dialogue dense with drollery. Distractions from repetition remain readily relished.

For committed cult followers fond of the franchise’s farcical ways, a sale seems sweet succor still. Satisfaction stands to surface even despite shortcomings, for those keen to experience eccentric excess firsthand. First-timers cautious of costs can content themselves watching wanderingly, waiting for a lower launch later to test thrills without tribulation.

To those intrigued but not immersed, patience proves preferable to plunging in at full price. A farcical fan-base exists easily entertained by the era’s events endlessly. Newcomers need not nod to enjoy narration’s nonsense. A discounted debut delivers better bang for fewer bucks to curious viewers, while sparing scorn should sloppiness sour their taste. Stories stay compelling enough to warrant revisiting on retail’s refresh.

Slapstick sells best when seasoned with savings. For aficionados already all-in, mishaps matter less against magnificence. Still, sales serve the greater good – opening absurdity’s arms affordably to a wider watchers. There flicks find their future fans, keeping cultural curio’s comeback comedic tale continuing merrily on.
