Siliconera: Level 5 are finally giving us a better look at Aero Porter and Weapon Rental Shop de Omasse, the other two games in Guild 01, about which we didn’t know quite as much. Let’s start with Weapon Rental Shop de Omasse.
Sale on previous eShop titles continues until February 23rd
Weapon Shop De Omasse is Level 5’s second entry in the Guild01 series, a collaborative effort by four of Japan’s zaniest creative leads to create unique, short games. The insanity of Yoot Saito and Suda 51 is well-documented, and their Guild01 games (Aero Porter and Liberation Maiden) certainly lived up to that standard. Yasumi Matsuno’s RPG short story Crimson Shroud was slightly more normal, save that all the characters were static figurines and combat involved collecting and rolling virtual dice. Still, of all the crazy choices for a lead designer, Yoshiyuki Hirai of comedy duo America Zarigani might just take the cake. I don’t think he’s ever designed a game before in his life, and it kind of shows, but the man knows comedy, and boy does that show too.
So happy to finally have the last Guild01 game. Lord knows why it took this long...
Level 5 will be announcing new games tomorrow on Nintendo's Direct Conference.
What will it be ?
Scuba, that's one of the issues with the approval system on here. By the time it makes it to the main page, it can sometimes be outdated already.
