Well, at least I didn't miss this!

Bullet Heaven reviews Shikhondo: Soul Eater, available for all three major platforms (what are the minor platforms again?).

RXN ~ Raijin ~ gets physical

There's just a lot of digital releases jumping into the real world right now and the latest is a Play-Asia exclusive, the Nintendo Switch shooter RXN ~ Raijin ~.

There will be a Standard Edition, 1000 copies available, and a Limited Edition of 3000 copies. Yeah, that makes no sense but the "Limited" is the meatier package and will contain:

• physical game cart (region free)
• collector’s box
• printed game manual
• 48-page-full-colour artbook
• official steelbook with alternative art
• numbered certificate

Sales start on August 30th, don't miss out, and if you want to go ALL IN you can even get the soundtrack of the game (right now) from the same place.

For those who keep count, that's 3 for 3. Play-Asia has revealed 3 physical Switch games and they are all shmups: Dimension Drive, Shikhondo and RXN. Respect.

Shikhondo: Soul Eater digital launch dates

According to most places, Shikhondo: Soul Eater - the Korean bullet-hell shooter available in physical form for PS4 and Switch exclusively from Play-Asia has gotten digital release dates too.

August 28th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and August 30th for the Nintendo Switch are the dates. If you prefer downloads to physical games, get your wallets out I guess. You can pre-order (and pre-download) on Xbox One right now.

Shikhondo opened for pre-orders yesterday like planned

As of this writing all three editions are still available.


The game looks like it's a ton of fun so I ordered for both platforms. Make sure to get your copy!

Shikhondo Soul Eater gets physical release

While we already knew Shikhondo was coming to PlayStation 4, in a stunning announcement Play-Asia will roll out pre-orders for physical editions of the game on both Nintendo Switch and PS4 on June 28th.

From the presser:

TAKE ON AN ARMY OF DEMONS IN THIS KOREAN BULLET HELL
PHYSICAL RELEASES FOR BOTH SWITCH & PS4

 

SHIKHONDO SOUL EATER is a Korean bullet-hell shoot 'em up set within a beautiful and bizarre world of Asian mythology. Created by Korean-based independent developer DeerFarm, Shikhondo - Soul Eater features hypnotic barrage patterns and stunning Oriental artwork. Select one of the Grim Reapers or girls, find the yokai that escaped from limbo, extricate the souls that they absorbed, and reseal them! Shikhondo Soul Eater will encourage players to stay close to the enemy's bullet barrage in order to fill their Soul Gauge and unleash massive attacks!

Shikhondo Soul Eater includes four different game modes: Arcade, Hardcore, Boss Rush and, for the first time, players will be able to play with a friend thanks to an all-new 2-player local co-op mode added especially for the console versions. Online leaderboards will also allow you to test your abilities against other players around the world!
