Upcoming Cave arcade title (Akai Katana)

[moozooh]

Which of them is going to summon a trojan horse, a mechagodzilla, or a spacecraft?

[Necronopticous]

That boss is thinking with portals.

[xris]

TLB gets spaceship with soviet era sputnik options.

[TaygetaVendetta]

Level 3 including the boss

Wow, the visuals look outstanding, this is the true successor fidelity wise to Deathsmiles.

With all the shielding/reflection, it reminds me more of an arrange mode to a standard, but I look forward to seeing more footage and figuring it out as more comes in. I noticed some bullets turn into homing bullets after they were reflected/thrown back out, moving in a very similar manner to the sperm bullets from Deathsmiles IIX.

Anyway, I wish someone would credit feed this thing, so we could see the rest of the game, and how many stages it has.

The loke test version ended after stage 3 so nothing more to see for now. I'm assuming it's 5 stages with a loop.

Hope this is out proper when I go over to Japan. I don't want to spoil too much, but watched the first stage and I'm hype.

At least one these bosses will summon one mechatrannyloli. I would can bet one kidney mine in this guess.

I hope not. I'd rather think 5 stages with 2 loops, and a true final boss at the end of 2nd loop when you meet the requirements. Also it will be nice an extra stage.

[NTSC-J]

That's what I meant with "with a loop", 10 stages in all with a "true final boss" at the end of the second. It seems like with their style now that if it were just 5 stages there would be another mode to choose and since there isn't, I bet there's a loop.

Haven't made it out there. Might, but I go to Akiba very infrequently.

[NR777]

Haha, wow, the game is wacky and beautiful at the same time! Anybody else feels Yagawa's hand in there?

Actually, some of the bullets look like they were lifted from Yagawa's output...

Nope.

Nope.

Yeah, I wasn't seeing that either.

[Depth Charge]

This game kind of looks like a mess to me. Some might say the perspective looks surreal but it just comes off looking sloppy, same thing with your tiny ship turning into a huge character. Also looks like they tried to cram too much shit into the play mechanics, I guess some people might like that though. Glad it isn't 3D but it just doesn't look fun.

[BIL]

I like the perspective, from what's been shown. Reminds me of Thunder Force IV's desert stage, whose ground enemies are a lot more interesting to fight than the typical hori's.

[DazTM]

Playing Guwange at the moment on Partnernet. Good times.

[Dandy J]

i really like the isometric perspective and the game definitely has a progear vibe...biplanes and the cars thingys on rails look like the ones from the vertical section in st4

[sven666]

no vids of anyone actually completing the loke test??

Some of the bullet sprites looked like they were taken from Pink Sweets. Maybe it's just my eyes?

[subcons]

I thought I read the loke test only went three stages...

How does that stop one from completing the loke test

At least one these bosses will summon one mechatrannyloli. I would can bet one kidney mine in this guess.

I was just thankful this wasn't in any way affiliated w/ the Cho Aniki series. You might have more than just a train popping out of those warp holes.

how can you say that and still sport that avatar ?

cave 3D rendering at its finest

[sven666]

wow.. hype certainly died off quick for thisone huh?

i know the in-game character stuff looks stupid as hell but otherwise it looks pretty solid i think.

If there's no new info to discuss it's hard to hype something ^_~

Nonsense, this is the Internet. We don't need silly things like facts or data in order to sound off; just an overwhelming desire to ramble ad nauseum.

Now as for being on topic, has anyone heard if there's going to be another Loke test before launch, or are we pretty much just waiting for the finished product now?
