Remember the new shoot-'em-up game that retailer Play-Asia is funding? We'll be getting back on that topic today, as we pick up more details regarding Soldner-X: Himmelssturmer, under development with studio SideQuest.

For starters, you're a bad-ass mercenary who's been hired as Earth's last defence against an alien virus that's consuming the planet's life forms and technology. Your player's been awarded an experimental ship, with your goal being to fly to the enemy virus' origin, and destroying the said menace. As for the rest of the game details:  
  • 12 stages staged across 4 worlds
  • Unique upgrade weapon system and unique tactical elements such as chaining, effectiveness system, 'berserker', and more.
  • Plenty of hidden bonus features and more than 20 extras (with both positive and negative effects)
  • Collection quests and over-the-top boss fights
  • Supports 720p HD mode in 16:9
Missing in the details is where this new game is expected to appear, although we have an inkling it'll be either PlayStation Network or Xbox Live - it did state it was going to be in HD. Expect the game to be released late 2007. That's it for the moment, although we'd appreciate it if the German-literate readers could come up with an accurate English translation of the game's title. Thanks in advance!

This might not be exactly right...

but I think in English it would be "Soldier-X: Skystormer"

The Title has been translated!

Hey Folks! Heres a short explanation on this Article: Söldner doesnt mean Soldier (Soldier in German is Soldat) Söldner DOES MEAN Mercenary in Englisch, so the Head Title is: "Mercenary X" The Underline says: "Himmelstürmer" Part that and you get Himmel (Eng: Heaven or Sky) and Stürmer (Eng: Storms) So the underline correctly Translated says: Heavenstorms or Skystorms The complete Title: "Mercenary X: Heavenstorms / Skystorms" I hope I could help all readers! Greetz from the rainy Bochum in Germany! :D Moritz (Please QJ Staff qoute my Comment! THX in Advance!)
