Publisher Playism announced today that they are bringing six Japanese Indie titles West in the next few months, everything from rail shooters to unique puzzlers. Check it out.
Croixleur Sigma - PS4 and Vita
Croixleur Sigma is a hack 'n slash/battle arena title from Souvenir Circle expected sometime this year.
In Croixleur Sigma, you choose from one of four young female warriors, each representing a faction in the land of Ilance. Each one has been chosen to participate in the Adjuvant Trial, where they do battle through a multi-level tower in hopes of winning military authority and the honor of protecting the queen.
Prismatic Solid - PS4
Prismatic Solid from YO1 KOMORI is a "rolling" shoot 'em up is coming this year, as well.
In Prismatic Solid, players fly through vertical scrolling shoot-em-up stages populated by dangerous geometric creatures, protected only by the neon creatures that surround them. You’ll have access to a number of different firing modes to help you survive each stage, and as you pick up power ups from defeated enemies, the feelers on your neon buddies will grow in size, blocking you from the enemy onslaught.
Astebreed - PS4
Astebreed is an award-winning title from Eidelweiss; this 3D rail shooter is "coming soon."
Astebreed is a 3D rail shooter with a constantly shifting perspective that tells the story of humanity’s last stand against a cybernetic alien race bent on destroying other civilizations to preserve its own, and the one man that stands at the edge of extinction with his mechanized war machine.
Players take control of an advanced mech suit called Xbreed and take on hordes of cybernetic alien foes with a powerful sword in hand and lock-on lasers in tow. Using both weapons in tandem is essential to success, and it looks really cool, too!
TorqueL - PS4 and Vita
Developed by FullPowerSideAttack.com, TorqueL is a side-scrolling puzzler/platformer in which the player is a man in a box that must interact with his environment to move. It will be making its appearance this year.
You play a particularly well-dressed gentleman inside of a box. You can roll your box around the environment by pushing the left stick in the appropriate direction, but without the ability to jump, getting over pits or up hills is going to be a challenge.
Luckily, you have a trick up your magnificent sleeves. Each side of the box is mapped to a face button, and pressing said button extends that side. Using momentum and gravity, you’ll soon be flying through the air and making your way to the goal in style.
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae - PS4
The popular action title is "coming soon."
Take on the role of a warrior maiden forced to hunt down her best friend who has stolen a sacred demon blade. End the feud between two warrior maidens and the demon sword between them, told through high speed action!
- PS4
This challenging shmup from Cross Eaglet will be coming to the PS4 "soon."
In this long awaited shooter from action masters Cross Eaglet, enemies are not just right in front of you. They're all around you! Using a unique perspective rotation mechanic, players can bring enemies and items into view, putting the odds in their favor in an otherwise impossible situation.
In Revolver 360 RE:ACTOR, you don't only have your bullets to save you. You're also armed with a powerful laser that pierces through weaker enemies, and a screen-clearing EMP. It's the exact kind of weaponry you're going to need if you hope to survive this harsh and hostile environment.
Use your weapons in concert with each other to toy with your enemies and reap higher score rewards. Killing your foes quickly is not always the best course of action.
All of these Indies are slated to have trophies, so we'll keep you informed as we learn more.
