[3DS] Kokuga

[David]

http://kokuga.net/



A new shooter directed by Hiroshi Iuchi (Radiant Silvergun, Gradius V, Ikaruga).

In Kokuga, you take control of a tank and blast away at enemies from an overhead perspective. This isn't like the bullet hell shooters that have dominated the shooting genre of late, though. Your tank can only fire one blast at a time. You can't fire again until the shot has left the screen.

"Kokuga" is the name of the tank you control. You're part of a task force charged with saving your country, A Country, from the neighboring E Country.

You move your ship around the play field with the slide pad. B fires your main gun, and L and R rotate your turret.

G.Rev is planning a Spring 2012 release for the game

Shame about the visuals.

As with Iuchi's other games, you'll have to dodge an assault of bullets as you take down dozens of robotic enemy foes. However, Kokuga gives players a deck of 20 cards at the beginning of each level that gives your ship different abilities. These attack and support cards add a more tactical twist to the typical shmup formula.

There's also four-player co-op play via Local and Download Play. Publisher G.rev promises it will hit the eShop some time before the end of July.
