Devil Blade Reboot: Classic Vertical Shooter Remake Lands on Steam May 24th

SHIGATAKE GAMES is set to release "DEVIL BLADE REBOOT" on PC via Steam on May 24th. Developed and published by SHIGATAKE GAMES, this vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up game supports Traditional Chinese and various other languages.

"DEVIL BLADE REBOOT" originally debuted on the original PlayStation in 1996. Created using the development software "Design Emo+" (デザエモン+), it's undergone a complete modernization after 28 years, showcasing the expressive power of pixel art to its fullest, delivering an immersive experience akin to simulated 3D. With a focus on the fundamental joys of shoot 'em up gaming—dodging, shooting, and destroying—this reboot strips away unnecessary elements.

The standout feature of the reboot is the "Rampage Mode." Destroying enemies at close range significantly increases the difficulty and scores, offering a high-risk, high-reward gameplay style. Different play styles result in vastly different difficulty experiences, catering to both newcomers aiming for game completion and veterans striving for high leaderboard ranks.

Beyond Rampage Mode, the game offers a Story Mode where players can traverse through all six levels in one go, a Challenge Mode allowing players to select any level to play, and the option to switch to a retro mode reminiscent of 1996. With four difficulty settings to choose from and support for Steam achievements and global leaderboards, players keen on classic shoot 'em ups are in for a challenge!
