BeefJack: "Unapologetically demanding on both your reflexes and determination, Akai Katana is an engrossing shoot-em-up and stands as one of the finest in its genre."
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.
