Summary
SOL CRESTA, rise like the phoenix and take back the sun!
Neo-Classic shooting strikes back!
Dock, split, and form up! Pilot 3 fighters and take back the sun
from the clutches of evil in this free-form shooting game with the
spirit of 80s shooting classics Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta.
PlatinumGames' NEO-CLASSIC ARCADE series carries on the spirit and
fun of classic gaming using modern technology, and the first
project in this endeavor is SOL CRESTA. SOL CRESTA takes the
docking and formation strategies of classic shooting games Moon
Cresta and Terra Cresta and elevates them with the "free-form
docking" system. The flagship Yamato, composed of the fighters
Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano can utilize various attacks
depending on how the three ships are aligned. Docking, splitting,
and reforming the ships as needed is the key to defeating the
invading armies of Mega Zofer.
Story:
Humanity faced a crushing defeat at the hands of the Mandler Army
during their last invasion of the solar system. Losing the moon and
being driven from Earth, they were forced to retreat all the way to
Laomedeia, the 12th moon of Neptune. With the last of their hope,
they formed the solar recovery squad SOL CRESTA, and placed the
fate of the solar system with the Yamato, a cutting-edge docking
ship.
Free-Form Docking.
The Yamato, standing against the evil of Mega Zofer, is composed of
3 fighters. You'll scramble with only one ship at first but pick up
the right item and friendly ships will appear for a power-up! Dock
and split to change your attack properties and use different
formations to access an amazing arsenal.
Classic 80s-Style Excitement.
SOL CRESTA's music is provided by legendary chiptune composer Yuzo
Koshiro, and the game pays homage to the sound and visuals of the
earlier Cresta series games, bringing back that arcade fever while
taking it beyond mere nostalgia. There's even a time limit, high
score Caravan Mode, and online leaderboards.
PlatinumGames' New Challenge.
What would happen if PlatinumGames, developers of satisfying and
jam-packed action games like Bayonetta, NieR:Automata, and ASTRAL
CHAIN tried their hand at shooting? This is the answer. The visuals
are classic, but the originality and depth of the systems and
gameplay provide a fresh and deep shooting experience that grows
each time you play.
