Akai Katana

Posted in arcade, everything, games, shmups at 10:54 am by the2bears

Cave‘s Akai Katana is undergoing location testing at the moment. I really like the looks of this. Reminds me a lot of Progear, and others are mentioning Ketsui influences as well (though I’ve only played Ketsui Death Label).

    This looks great alright, but the perspective is very strange. The player’s plane seems to be viewed from the side, whereas the ground and the bosses are viewed from slightly above. It’s half-way between a horizontal shooter and a top-down.

    Yeah, it’s tough doing this view while also having the volume and diversity of ground units that Cave horizontals usually have. The perspective seems really off.
