2 level trial available.

What do you think about this game?

IMO It's way better than Vulkaiser. Looks like they tried to mix best parts of their previous games.

I had lots of fun with this. far less of the slow bullet crap and plenty of stuff to destroy (though I think the napalm cannon is overpowered as all hell due to short charge time.)
isn't this a port/remake of a daezamon 2 game? I know I've seen this exact concept before.

This game is getting a Steam release today.

Official english site, which includes a 2-stage demo.

Anyone here played it already?

Stupid question: is the Steam release the full version (i.e. not a 2 stage demo)?

[Bonus!]

Why would they charge for the demo!?

(It is the full version, of course.)

[amdiggywhut]

I SAID IT WAS A STUPID QUESTION!

(In all seriousness, I'm used to seeing a lot of early access stuff on Steam & just wanted to make sure).

Looks fun, likely picking this up.

Got a Steam key from a bundle I bought way back in 2013.

Let's see if I have some time to try this out properly.

Just bought this on Steam. Really fun game, with a nice array of beefy weaponry and the frenzied, scrappy action typical of Astro Port's stuff, but I was shocked to clear the normal mode on my first credit (first life, even). Will have to experiment with the higher difficulties...

That's per course with Astro Port games. The hardest difficulty Insane is where the game's really at, same thing with Satazius, Gigantic Army, et al.

Is that a twin stick mechanic I'm seeing in the video, or just a more generic "shoot slightly up or slightly down" sort of thing? Looks good, overall.

Oh, definitely. Both of those still took me a bit of practice on normal mode, though. Clearing it whilst merely trying it out just came as a surprise, hehe. Will definitely get plenty of milage out of Insane, though - it's really vicious.

FRO: yeah, your gun moves up and down as your mech does, and locks into position when you hold the fire button.
