Genre Shift: The spiritual series that started with Judgement Silversword uses an overhead vertically-scrolling perspective up until Ginga Force. This game, on the other hand, uses a side-scrolling perspective.

Mythology Gag: One of the terrorist groups you face is called Mirror Shield. In this game's third-degree Spiritual Predecessor Judgement Silversword, two of the bosses you fight are called Mirror Shields.

comment
Arrange Mode: Arcade Mode, which turns the game into a more conventional "play a sequence of stages" game. Story elements like character dialogue are removed. Instead of buying and equipping weapons beforehand, you simply collect weapon pick-ups to upgrade and swap out your weapons, although they will only provide upgrades and swaps when you have a full set of regular shields, otherwise they will just refill your shield meter one bar at a time. Upgrading and changing weapons also adds to youe EX Shields, and losing EX Shields will cause you to lose weapon upgrades. Conveniently, this mode skips Stage 7, a Gimmick Level that uses an intentionally clumsy ship.

Boring, but Practical
 Natsuki Chronicles (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: The Front Vulcan and Rear Vulcan weapons, including their upgraded variants, aren't the flashiest weapons in your arsenal, but they're good for almost any situation. The Front Vulcan simply fires out a steady stream of bullets in front with two more angled thinner streams, while the Rear Vulcan fires at angles behind you, and directly behind you if firing your main weapon at the same time.

Foregone Conclusion
 Natsuki Chronicles (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: When you fight Alex and Margaret in Stage 7, you already know Natsuki is going to lose, because that's precisely what happens in the "Turning Point" cutscene that you saw at the very start of the game and which is next in line on the timeline menu. You still have to survive the fight up to a certain point, however, or the mission won't count as completed.

Climax Boss: Alex and Margaret in Stage 7. It's the battle just before the introductory "Turning Point" cutscene, the emotional tension is high due to Natsuki having to fight her friend, and the aftermath kick-starts Natsuki's Heel–Face Turn.

Gameplay Grading: At the end of the stage, you are given a letter grade based on your Rating, which you accumulate by destroying enemies, destroying whole enemy formations, defeating the boss quickly, avoiding damage, and finishing the stage. You get graded whether you complete or fail the stage, hence the last bonus.

Gameplay Ally Immortality: Hand Waved in Stage 6, where you have to escort a train to its destination. The train is protected from your attacks thanks to an "IFF field", although it doesn't explain why it's also immune to enemy attacks.

Obviously Evil: Maroon shows signs of being a Treacherous Advisor early on, ordering Natsuki to kill her targets regardless of their sympathetic motives or if she manages to neutralize them. Natsuki ends up dueling against him in a final showdown in Chapter 10 after realizing that the Magni Corporation is corrupt.

Chekhov's Classroom: Early on in the game, one of the flashbacks that serves as a Justified Tutorial is on how to operate heavy vehicles. Natsuki uses one in Stage 7 to try to capture Alex's and Margaret's ship. Also a Call-Forward to her boss fight in Ginga Force.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: If you run out of shield and get destroyed prematurely in Stage 7, it's game over as usual. If you survive up to a certain point in the fight, Natsuki gets defeated by Alex and Margaret, just like in Ginga Force. It's impossible to actually capture their ship. That said, you are still ranked on this stage and minimizing damage while hitting their ship with as many capture shots as possible is required to achieve a good rank.

Scoring Points
 Natsuki Chronicles (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd
comment
Scoring Points: Scoring has been made simpler than in Ginga Force; you simply need to destroy enemies, and you gain bonus points when defeating whole formations. You get a bonus if you complete the stage, dependent on how quickly you defeated the boss. There is also the Rating system, which ranks you based on enemy destruction percentage, formation destruction percentage, how few hits you took, how quickly you defeat the boss, and whether you clear the stage or not; Ratings are used to determine your letter rank.

comment
Mercy Mode: As you play each stage repeatedly, your Stage Study level for it builds up, giving you more EX Shields with which to try the stage next time. What makes it this trope is that you can earn stage EXP even if you fail the mission, so if the default number of shields isn't enough, then perhaps putting on a few EX Shields can help you complete it.
