About This Game

A fresh formula for the shooter genre that mixes traditional shooting game mechanics with a generous helping of modern bullet-hell intensity and spectacular visual effects: this soul-satisfying experience offers everything! First, play to survive and understand enemy patterns, then shift to an offensive strategy to watch your points soar: eliminate foes up close to boost your multiplier and neutralize their projectiles. Hunt the levels for hidden rewards to elevate your score even further.

Audio and Visuals
Adding fuel to the fire are Resonator: the alias for sound maestros Kenji 'Itoken' Ito (Romancing SaGa series) and Kohta Takahashi (Ridge Racer and Ace Combat series), igniting your audio system with their compositions. Finally, Akio Watanabe applies his artistic talent to the project, introducing distinctive character designs.

Plot
Mecha-warl, a sinister empire, seeks to use its military power to dominate the cosmos.
This chronicles the courageous individuals who rose against their menace.

Zenichi, the solitary space pirate seeking vengeance.
Yun, the galaxy patrol officer tasked with eradicating Mecha-warl.
Sadahl, the ruler aiming to confront Mecha-warl in a quest for honor.
And Loop, continuing the conflict for Earth long after its fall.

Thus commences the struggle upon which the destiny of the universe hinges...
