XLC Gaming Network writes: Cave is a name synonymous with 2D Shoot’em up titles and thanks to Rising Star Games we have been able to experience 2 great Cave titles this gen. It’s thanks to the perseverance of Rising Star Games support for not only Cave titles, but also the shoot’em up genre that we get a third title in Cave’s legacy of masterpieces to grace the genre called Akai Katana.
Siliconera knows Cave is bringing Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for Xbox 360, but what else is the maniac shooter company working on? They picked the brain of Cave lead creator and Game Development Head Makoto Asada to see what their future plans are.
Cave has a mega collection of shooting games according to Amazon Japan, which is taking reservations for the Cave Shooting Collection. This bundle includes 10 games plus downloadable content on seven DVDs.
As a port of an arcade game, Akai Katana may be short but it is still incredibly fun and provides a seemingly "impossible to beat" kind of challenge that is lacking from a lot of video games today.
