Eschatos coming to Steam

[briareos_kerensky]

Qute just tweeted that they are porting Eschatos, a vertical shooter for arcades and Japanese X360s, to Steam. More infos, like release date, will be revealed later this month. No mention to a Ginga Force port and still no news about Natsuki Chronicles.

Could Raiden Fighter Aces be next? Yes, I am a bit RFA on the brain.......

Raiden IV Overkill is availble now while you wait...hopelessy maybe? I can see Moss porting RV on XBO and PC, but I don't think they care about RFA, at least in the short run.

Yeah, not holding my breath mate. I'd love to shift my ntsc u 360 but I can't stand the thought of not having a decent version of RFA.

And of course some cave shooters coming and the awesome crimzon clover on steam my pc will become the machine for these games

It's crazy the amount of shmups that are coming to Steam right now O.o

I could only dream of this happening a few years ago.

Out now, along with Judgment Silversword.

Raiden is free for Android on amazon underground, pretty decent too. I'm playing them on a Google nexus 7 2nd generation tablet. You get 5 raiden games, 1,2,fighters, jet and another one I think.

You thought Escathos was good? Well, probably not as much as the Japanese Diet Library, because Eschatos and Ginga Force have been officially preserved and catalogued by that body.
Also, thread resurrection!

That's kinda cool - haven't heard too much of that body before but I'm sure one game preservation doc I watched had them come up. I know Ginga Force goes for £stupid these days, too.

[briareos_kerensky]

I had to check eBay, I'm always surprised when someone say "game X is extra expensive nowadays"...and the GF+Escathos pack goes for more than $300. Wow. Standard GF for $100, more affordable but surely still impressive.

Ginga Force is up for PS4 worldwide, £15.99. Quite the saving compared to the above!
