Will be broken apart as eShop releases throughout March
Three of the four titles from Level-5’s 3DS game jamGuild01made it to the eShop out West.Liberation Maiden,Aero Porter, andCrimson Shroudwere all bizarre but solid experiences, and I’m extremely grateful that they were given a chance on our shores. I hope the same arrangement is made for the the games ofGuild02, due next month.
Though the original received a retail release in Japan, Level-5 is going to take the Western route and breakGuild02‘s mini-games apart into eShop downloads. And instead of four games, there are only three:Uchuusen Damurei-go(“Spaceship Damurei”),Mushikera Sensha(“Insect Tank”), andKaiju ga Deru Kinyoubi(“Monsters Come Out on Friday”).
Spaceship Damureiis suspense adventure by Kazuya Asano and Takemaru Abiko. Suffering amnesia, you wander a spaceship seeking an escape, but you, the player, are as much in the dark as your avatar, given no instructions on what to do or where to go.Insect Tankis a survival action game byKeiji Inafunein which you customize a super tiny tank to battle swarms of insects. But the most interesting game of the lot is Kazu Ayabe’sMonsters Come Out on Friday, a heartwarming tale of a boy who happens to live in a town where giant Toho-like beasts fight on a regular basis.
Monsters Come Out on Fridayreleases first on March 13,Insect Tankon March 19, andSpaceship Damureion March 27. They’ll each cost ¥800 (~$8.59).
