Caladrius - Xbox 360 shmup from MOSS

[KAI]

Ketsui-ON!Make it happen, CAVE

I still prefer the gay designs.

Hahaha, that's great, KAI Maybe that's what Ketsui 2 would've looked like

I'm looking forward to playing this game. I would much rather see some information about the scoring mechanics instead of this. However, this particular feature is probably what sells :/

[BulletMagnet]

You guys are lucky that we haven't gotten K-ON! character designs in shmups yet.

We did get Strike Witches though.

In any event, I'm rarely particularly bothered by the character art in a shooter myself, as most of the time I'm looking at an airplane or spaceship anyways.

EDIT: @Kai - NIP SLIP NSFW

[EmperorIng]

I actually never considered the character art itself that terrible (though I joke about it on the first page starting off a whole bunch of aye-yi-yi's), though the blowing off clothes thing just is completely unappealing. Hard to justify the genre to my friends with that going on, you know.

The fact that it's region locked doesn't help things. Though if it gets a western release I'd still likely pick it up.

[BulletMagnet]

The opening movie, if anyone's interested.

if anyone's interested.

Thank you so much~ <3

Still-images everywhere!

Does the video say the name of the opening theme ?
Can't watch right now.

Nope. I had a look on Moss' webpage as well but I couldn't find any information on it.

bad

What an awesome looking rpg. wait.. wut, its a shmup?

[BulletMagnet]

There'll apparently be a "no damage mode" which allows you to play through the game just to see the story, though it might also be handy for training purposes since it keeps track of how many times you would have died playing normally. There will also be six difficulty levels to choose from, though the article doesn't say whether or not scores will be tracked separately for them (if memory serves most of the Raidens did, though someone correct me if I'm wrong).

[Special World]

Hate to be cynical about this, but a no damage mode in a game where you blow off women's skirts sounds more like a no panty mode to me.

[VixyNyan]

no panty mode

Special World's Post + Vixy's post image = >_> (Um...)

[VixyNyan]

Achievements available.

Some of them involves 1CC runs with each character, beating specific bosses, 1UP Item, score collecting and... tearing of each character's clothes~ (never saw that coming, right?)

Also, the highest scoring one at 100G is a No Miss Clear run. (similar to Raiden IV's difficult 1CC runs)

This looks interesting, and I am still waiting for Raiden V and Strikers 1945 IV.

Seriously high quality stuff.

Not sarcasm: why would you want to know, it's terrible?

The opening movie

Doesn't the word "movie" imply movement?

I assume the Moss-boss saw the opening of Saidaioujou and said "We can undercut this!"

[BulletMagnet]

the Moss-boss

Whoever the guy is, if there isn't a label on his door and/or desk that says "The Moss Boss", there should be.

[Phellan Wolf]

So when are they gonna show some real gameplay? We are still one month for release and Moss hasn't showed anything but the opening movie.

They've shown small clips but nothing substantial.

I've already seen that video, but since it's the character's presentation u can barely see nothing but a couple of shots. It is gonna be a blind purchase.

Moss just uploaded gameplay videos for Alex, Kei and Maria

Looking good. I was expecting something less creative. I do hope it gets harder because those bullet canceling abilities were used almost continously.

Yeah, I assume that it takes time to recharge/level up those special attacks and that Moss just wanted to showcase them in the trailer.

I'm pretty pleased with what I've seen so far. Some of those bullet patterns and stage designs look pretty cool! I'm definitely looking forward to getting my copy!

[Skykid]

Actually looks pretty decent, I'm down for this - much more interested than I was with Ginger Force. It's got a Dimahoo vibe going on, and it looks like Moss have steered away from anything convoluted and kept it clean n' simple. Nice bosses too. Hope it's not as punishing as Raiden IV, I'm about done with that one tearing me up on the Stage 3 boss.

And I suppose I could get into ripping some panties off, if I must. Been a while.

Bullets are far too slow I was hoping for something more... classic... Meh.

Do you think it will stay like that? Raiden IV's bullets start slow, but once the rank is up you need to haul ass on a dime.

I just hope you can switch the voices right off.

[trap15]

Not sure, but I was kinda hoping for something closer to Raiden/II/DX. I'll wait for 'later' gameplay videos before I shrug this off. Hopefully the bullets will be... lightning fast
