Their first self-published game! I think it's coming out on the 31st of October in Japan? (either that of the 7th of Novmeber) Has a single player mode and a multiplayer mode for up to 6 players (with online multi supported) Looks cool! Not a lot of games like this out currently, so I'm down for a good old fashioned twin stick shooter 1

MindFreak Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Has it been confirmed for a Western release yet?
RedShell Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 The old school Konami/Mystical Ninja vibes on that music!! If the entire game sounds that good it’ll be a must-buy for the soundtrack alone. *plays trailer again...*

RedShell Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Did anyone ever play this? Just seen that it's coming to PC soon and will feature cross-play with the Switch version! Looks like it'll run a lot better too. Edited January 19, 2021 by RedShell

Getting the impression this game must have bombed quite spectacularly on Switch, in that case it's no wonder they want to release it on other platforms. 1

Getting the impression this game must have bombed quite spectacularly on Switch, in that case it's no wonder they want to release it on other platforms. I wanted to pick it up but then a physical version was announced. By the time that got released I had lost interest in the game. Yeah, the game seemed to kind of just pass by everyone. Not many people talked about it pre-release and it seems even fewer actually picked it up. 1
Londragon Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I tried to drum up some interest on the podcast around its release, but I think it was only ever me that expressed an interest, and even then I didn't pick it up when it went on a 30% discount late last year. If it reduces to about 50%, I think I'd pick it up then, just out of interest. 1
