If you click that link you'll see it's the title theme from the original Aleste.

Looks a bit generic and distant from its source material.

She's not the only thing that got me invested. Not just the need for voice acting either. The game itself looks pretty good.

I keep thinking this game is called Aleste Brunch. Maybe I should go eat something.

I've been waiting a long time for Ubusuna also! I'm really hoping it ends up becoming the next Radiant Silvergun or Ikaruga!

Okay, they showed off more footage. The other character, male, is apparently a scientist.

Sorry everyone, but my brain just kind of shut off when they said no Toaplan information. They're saying stuff about this game now and stuff, but my brain's dead from disappointment right now.

Cytegort? Ok I'm sold on the game now. I hope we get more of his backstory.

Cytegort, huh. Probably filled with a burning passion for justice after an adolescence being called SHITEGORT by delinquents on the rough streets of TERRAFORMING COLONY LESBOS VII Image

As mentioned in the above article, the game has been completely reworked and it looks much much better for it.

Key-art of pilots and ships are way less amateur looking than the OG (now vaporware…?) version of the game we’ve seen.
Backgrounds look much less static and awkward.
Looks like there’s some decent camera dynamism now since it’s all polygonal.

Game looks far improved…
BUT even with the complete re-working of the style, you’d think they’d have a bit more to show us by now?

Vs.

The old footage

It looks less different than I thought.
Crazy.

The important part is we get a better look at the waifus .. I mean, pilots. Yeah.

Again, I got just the ticket for who should be who. As for Cytegort, I can imagine him being voiced by someone like Kaito Ishikawa.

I appreciate the game allowing us to play as all three genders: tits, ass and scientist.

Did I see a Soukyugurentai-style "net" weapon in that footage? Hmmm...

Yep. Soukyu has a fair bit of Aleste DNA in it, so I guess it's fair game as a nod. It clearly functions/handles a bit different here, and it looks to just be the one ship that has it. I also see a meter winding down in the circle around the ship, so maybe it's some kind of mini-hyper?

Aww nice, it's the classic P-Chip scatter Mahou Daisakusen and Souky inherited. :cool: Thought it was an attack at first. I wonder if there's some mechanic to catch 'em all like BITD.
