Omega Five, Ikaruga, Trigger Heart Exelica on XBLA in time for holidays |
Ó
A slew of Xbox Live Arcade shooters are heading our way, and all of them are high-quality releases sporting low prices. The first of them will drop in this November and it's none other than Natsume and Hudson Soft's Omega Five.Omega Five has a curious, ninja-inspired character scrolling vertically and dealing with enemies that pop from side to side and from the front trying to nail you with melee and projectile attacks. You'll do this for extended periods, so maintain your concentration if you want to stay alive.
Another vertical scroller is Ikaruga. It's an arcade port from the game with the same title released in 2001 and now launched by Treasure Co. Ltd on the Xbox Live service. One interesting feature of Ikaruga is the polarity-based combat, where only attacks of opposite polarity will harm your ship.
Lastly, there's Trigger Heart Exelica which is planned for a winter Xbox Live debut. It was once an arcade game, but was subsequently ported by Sega to its short-lived Dreamcast system. Two ships with different attack capabilities are featured to make players choose which one is best to use in given combat scenarios. Like the other two games, it's set for a release by year's end in Japan and is expected to go out worldwide at almost the same date. Exact release slates are still under wraps, so stick around for more updates.
