Soldner X: HD shooting game!

di Frankie (11/11/2007 - 06:02)


Soldnder X is an horizontal shooting game produced by the famous online import game shop Play Asia. Seems that  the game quality is pretty high. Actually at the beginning I feared that this game would have been just a doujin game translated in english and professionally packaged. Instead the project turned out to be the first "must have" game for shooting lovers since the last Dreamcast shooters released last year...

Main features of this game:
  • 720p at 60 fps
  • 2-Player Co-Op Play (simultaneously)
  • Classic design, yet state-of-the-art shooter technology
  • Unique upgrade weapon system with five standard weapon types
  • Never before seen tactical elements such as chaining, effectiveness system, 'berserker' mode and much more
  • More than 20 extras (with both positive and negative effects!)
  • Addictive collection quests
  • Over-the-top boss fights
  • Features a superb soundtrack and sound effects
  • Bi-lingual story mode (English/Japanese)
  • Online high score ranking
  • Constant frame rate (60fps)


This is a You Tube video preview  ( this is the original NicoNico version).

Our friend Asapon (japanese professional modeler of several figure masterpieces) told us that in november Yujin will release a gatchapon R Shooting Video Game History Gashapon: a series dedicated to some of the most famous shoot'em up from the 80s and 90s! Coloring is still in progress and we look foward to see the definitive colors of this must have gatchapon series!
Update: Mark points out that NCSX started preorders for the  SR Series at the beginning of august. If you are in Europe you can preorder here. If you are not scared by japanese language you can try your luck here with tons of shops selling this collection at a really good price!
