The company behind this made another Genesis/MegaDrive game and it came with cart/manual/box. So my guess would be that there would be an initial batch of them made.


Oh, splendid. Any idea where I should keep my on for some kind of pre-order? How did they announce it last time?

I saw this the other day on another forum and thought it would be neat to share the gameplay video that was made here as well:


It looks pretty sweet! All the background stuff happening at the same time makes it look like it'll be a visually unique game at least.

So many of these indie shooters want to make the enemies take too many hits. All those little guys in bunches should be one-hit kills.

That's a huge pet peeve of mine in shooters.

That video is just painful to watch. Crashing into random shit that's moving in a straight line, over and over. Also having a cool looking mech transformation power and then never doing anything useful with it. :confused:

I'm surprised no one mentioned it, but in the trailer they have enemy sprites they ripped from Sapphire for the PC-ENGINE?!

Seeing that huge ship sprite makes me wonder... they do want that Euro-Shmup tag badly.

Besides the detailed backgrounds this looks absolutely horrible. Why is the player's ship that fucking big?

Ripping sprites from other games is a no-go, of course.....but being an euro shmup is a bad thing? Why? Sure it's a different style than Japanese ones, but I like both. :)
