ギンガフォース(Ginga Force) - Aeronaut (STAGE 1) 【XV-5080arrange】

Qute Corporation-developed shoot ’em ups Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles are coming to PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam in the west in 2020, publisher Rising Star Games announced.

Ginga Force was first released for Xbox 360 in February 2013 in Japan. This is the first time it is being released outside of Japan.

Natsuki Chronicles was first released for Xbox One in December 2019 worldwide.

“Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles are both projects we placed a lot of effort into and we’re excited for the western release of both games,” said Qute Corporation president Takeshi Osako in a press release. “Shooting games are a special genre with a passionate fanbase and we’re excited to be working with Rising Star Games to reach an even broader audience with these two great shooters.”

Here is an overview of each game, via Rising Star Games:

Ginga Force is a vertical style shoot ’em up with multiple game modes including Story and Score Attack, while Natsuki Chronicles is a side-scrolling shooter that shares its setting with Ginga Force even though it has its own unique characters. Natsuki Chronicles also features both an exciting campaign in Chronicles Mode and comes with an Arcade Mode for those who enjoy the thrill of going after a new high score. And you can show off your skills on both games via the online leaderboards.

Both Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles are playable at the Rising Star Games booth at PAX East 2020, which runs from February 27 to March 1 at the Boston Convention Center.

Welcome back to the world of Seventia in this thrilling new horizontal shoot ’em up from Rising Star Games and Qute.

Natsuki Chronicles features an immersive story that runs parallel to the events in Ginga Force. Follow the story of protagonist and expert pilot Natsuki and discover the story of her past as a rookie pilot as it leads up to present day events. It’s time again to take flight and fight!

Natsuki Chronicles features a Story Mode that alternates between past and present in over 10 stages.

Natsuki Chronicles also introduces a revolutionary “Bullet Trajectory Display” function that allows players to observe the direction of enemy bullets ahead of time.

In addition to Story Mode, and specifically for those looking to increase their score, there’s an Arcade Mode with Online Leaderboards that enables players to compete against friends and the entire world.
