Psuedo-3D-2D-style 3D shoot ’em up Angelian Trigger will launch for Switch on December 12 in Japan for 4,950 yen, developer PiXEL announced.
A limited edition will also be available for 8,800 yen, which includes a copy of the game, an art book, two original pin badges, a pair of original 3D glasses, an Eames Detective Agency certificate, and a special box.
Here is an overview of the game, via PiXEL:
Story
Wati is a large city on the planet Galadsik where the Eames Detective Agency is located. While the agency is facing financial difficulties due to an influx of small cases, like investigating infidelity and finding missing pets, a request comes in from an anonymous client to investigate the green planet Sarius. Despite the unsettling indicators, such as Sarius being under the control of the Planetary Industry Minister Wizria and the client being anonymous, Mia and Sheryl take off to Sarius. This was the trigger that led them into a major conspiracy.
Gameplay
Angelian Trigger is a 3D shooting game in which you run through the screen while shooting down enemies.
Each planet consists of four stages, and a stage is cleared by defeating the boss at the end. Both Story Mode and Arcade Mode contain a total of 24 stages. Arcade Mode also has unique bosses.
Mia can double jump and wields two guns, while Sheryl can fly and wields a large cannon. Since each protagonist plays differently, the same stages and enemies offer a different gameplay experience depending on the character.
Additionally, you can gain an edge in combat with help from your support robot O-P2, offering backing like cover fire and force fields.
With homing lasers that let you lock onto multiple enemies, and bonus points when defeating groups of enemies, Angelian Trigger offers a sense of both speed and exhilaration.
