VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Known as Cotton Rock 'n' Roll in Japan, Fantasy follows series heroines Nata de Cotton and Silk as they embark on yet another colorful adventure. It promises new shoot 'em up mechanics, 6 playable characters (each with different mechanics and attacks), cut-scenes voiced entirely in Japanese, and 16 stages with a mix of vertical, horizontal, and 3D movement.
Ahead of the game's western launch, two of the game's senior developers shared their insight into the game and the Cotton franchise in general with us."
Review - Cotton games are known for being charming and precise, but Panorama Cotton feels ugly and unwieldy.
Review - Cotton 100% is a classic cute shooter that still holds up, comparing well with the best of its peers.
"The Cotton series of cute ‘em ups has experienced a renaissance in recent years thanks to developer Success and publisher ININ Games. Six of the games in the series are available on PlayStation and Switch, including classics and a few modern games. Only Rainbow Cotton for Dreamcast hasn’t received a re-release or remake. The latest part of the renaissance is Cotton Fantasy, a new entry developed for arcades in 2021 and released on consoles the following year," says Co-Optimus.
