{{nihongo foot|'''''Triggerheart Exelica'''''|トリガーハート エグゼリカ|Torigā Hāto''Torigāhāto Eguzerika''||lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a vertically scrolling [[shoot 'em up]] developed by [[Warashi]] for the [[Sega NAOMI]] platform. The game was first released in Japanese arcades in May 2006, and was later ported to the [[Sega Dreamcast]], becoming the system's penultimate licensed title when it was released in Japan on February 22, 2007—only two weeks prior to ''[[Karous]]''.
 
==Plot==
In an unknown alien galaxy far away from the Milky Way, a war is waging between the Tilde Fleet, a group of human-like people and mysteriously violent robotic vehicles known as the Ver’mith led by the mysterious young woman Faintear. Two humanoid-soldiers belonging to the Triggerheart strike team, Exelica and programmed sister Crueltear, were busily fighting the Ver’mith during an attack when a portal opened and sucked the two young women in. Materializing on planet Earth, Exelica and Crueltear soon made Earth their new home as they had no means of return until a new portal opened and the Ver'mith appeared. Intent on making Earth their primary fortress of attack, the Ver'mith quickly make short work of Earth’s Defenses. Earth’s only hope rests on the Triggerheart sisters.
 
==Gameplay==
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
;V.B.A.S. (Variable Boss Attack System)
Like [[Zanac]], this game dynamically adjusts difficulty based on the player's in-game performance. It affects the difficulty of game bosses. If player collects more score items, the harder the bosses will be to defeat.
