It's a great shmup.
Bit torn on this one actually. It's definitely a very good shmup, but there is so much visual clutter at times it's untrue. I have a similar issue with Cotton Reboot when the multiplier is activated.
Some devs need to remember that one thing that EVERY shmups needs is visual clarity.
Been waiting for someone to pick this up for a physical release for bloody ages! I thought Strictly Limited might have got on it at one point, but I've ordered from First Press Games before and they put out some good products. Looking forward to this one.
Very nice. This is one of the top shmups I've missed on the Switch so far, so I might go for a regular edition if the shipping is reasonable. I don't need the fancy editions, the regular is already fancy enough for my modest collection.
FPG probably won't ship the game until 2023, but I'll be reserving a copy, without a doubt.
Hope to grab at least the limited variant for the soundtrack CDs. Was tempted by the Super variant because of the original Doujin version on the memory stick, but can’t defend an extra €65. Also if that is the only way to play that version of the game, not impressed.
'Well, wallet, it looks like it's time we had another one of those talks aga-GET BACK HERE!!!'
I have been waiting for this. Excellent
I will say that even the Regular Edition looks pretty sweet to me. I don't usually play shmups though, so I am not sure if I would ever be interested in this. It just looks pretty attractive.
134.99€ bigger version is killing me..... argggggg
Awesome, i hope i'll be able to get one of the big boxes.
The pre-orders were delayed to later today, so only a 24 hour delay.
I'm planning on grabbing a regular edition anyway, those are open pre-order, but the collector's editions do run the risk of selling out quickly if you want them.
Preorders went live this evening and i got the big edition, yay!
