AKAI KATANA (XBOX 360) USA TRAILER

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)

Looks awesome, and i hate to be THAT GUY, but even at 40 dollars, the price is kind of steep. When you get new well-crafted gems like Sine Mora on the xbla for 15 bucks, this is kind of asking a lot. That aside however, I'll probably still purchase this to support you guys and I because I do love me a good shmup, and you can't go wrong with Cave.

Same here, unless it comes with a LE. Or wait till it gets a price drop the months ahead of release, lol.

I hope some shmups get made for the 3DS sometime. The 3D effect lends itself great for layered sprites; the clarity of distance would perfect danmaku gaming.
