Akai Katana - Unboxing with Preorder T-Shirt

Experience sensory overload with CAVE's latest addition to the shoot-em-up arena, Akai Katana.

Set in a parallel world resembling Japan's Taisho period, the people have discovered the powerful Blood Swords. Requiring human sacrifices to unleash their immense destructive power, these swords have been used by the empire to crush neighbouring countries. However, all the bloodshed and power gained through sacrificing close family members has made some of the swordsmen reconsider. With new fighter planes and the powered up swords at their disposal, this small band of rebels now fight back against the tyrannical empire.

Created specifically with the Xbox 360 in mind, Akai Katana is the first CAVE release to feature horizontal combat in sumptuous HD and eye-watering full 16:9 support.

Prepare for a new definition of 'bullet-hell'!

Features:

Gorgeous hand-drawn artwork and lovingly rendered sprites
Full HD 16:9 support
Three gameplay modes: Origin (Arcade) Mode, Slash Mode and Climax Mode
Fully animated UI
Original Arcade settings optional for authentic experience
Online leaderboards and replays
Local 2-player co-op (Arcade mode only)

Very nice, I pre-orderd but with the wrong people! :) Please Rising Star, put any pressure you have onto CAVE to release Ketsui as a release for PAL/NTSC & Ketsupachi, DeathSmiles 2 DLC for Europe? The hardcore will buy shmups regardless (its *more* than safe to say that). I just don't understand region lockouts & localisations whereby Americans will get Otomedius, Deathsmiles 2, Raiden IV etc. etc. translated into English & can buy but the ENGLISH can't?!? Makes my whiskers curl it does! ;_;

If the white shirt was a preorder gift, where'd you get the black one? Is it for sale someplace or is it custom?

[Nemisisfrog]

Thank you very much RSG, you guys are great! I look forward to the next games you bring out here in the US!

[ZMVPZ]

Awesome game but the achievements are too damn impossible!!

[NeoStrayCat]

Sorry, but either Gamestop nor Amazon will have any pre-order bonuses, just the game itself, you'll probably end up looking for the shirt on ebay or something for ridiculous prices.

Are there any stores or sites doing pre-order bonuses for the US version??? I have it pre-ordered but would cancel in a second for a shirt!

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

Cool game and great pre-order offer but I really hope RSG would release more PS3 titles...or maybe start publishing good PC titles and join GOG.COM or Steam

[MrVengeance83]

Providing full-colour manuals is ACE. I love you guys :)
