Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted Limited Edition - €79.99

Description:

Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted Limited Edition is a remarkable revival of a classic arcade shooter that celebrates the legacy of Toaplan, a prominent game developer known for its influential contributions to the genre. Originally launched in 1993, Batsugun was a vertical scrolling shooter that captivated gamers with its intense gameplay and innovative bullet hell mechanics, which paved the way for countless games that followed.

The Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted Limited Edition brings back this iconic title with enhanced features and nostalgia for fans of retro gaming. The original arcade version, now known as the 'Original Ver.' mode, includes five challenging stages with a single ending. In contrast, the 'Special Ver.' mode revises the gameplay with better balance and additional features, expanding the experience to a total of 14 stages to conquer.

Gameplay Mechanics
In Batsugun, players select from three different types of aircraft, each equipped for combat with an array of shots and bombs. Your primary objective is to obliterate waves of approaching enemies, collecting power-ups and experience points along the way. These experience points contribute to your aircraft’s evolution, making it increasingly powerful as you progress through the game. Notably, the gameplay experience varies slightly based on which pilot is selected, altering not just the character but also the dialogues and endings.

Engaging Storyline
Set in the distant reaches of a far-off universe, players find themselves amidst a rebellion on a remote planet. The Revolutionary Army of Gladebaran has risen against the government, executing Project Epsilon and capturing all military bases within days. In a desperate bid to maintain order, the government discovers an untouched, advanced fighter jet hidden deep within an underwater base. They enlist the elite Skull Hornets squad for one final operation to salvage the situation, unbeknownst to them that their communication has been intercepted by the revolutionaries, setting the stage for a fiercely tactical battle for the fate of their world.
