«©NCSX» Eschatos is a Greek word which means "the last" and can be properly used to refer to the beginning of space beyond the bounds of the Earth. Now that word etymology is out of the way, the game Eschatos tells the story of an invasion from outer space. In the year 21XX, waves of UFOs descend upon the Earth in an aggressive manner. To confront the threat, a single space fighter is sent to defend the planet from all-out attack. Why only one space fighter to face an entire armada of UFOs? Well, because it's got skills to attack enemies through 26 stages.
Said space fighter throws out two types of shots: a powerful "Forward Shot" which fires directly in front of the ship and a "Wide Shot" which unleashes streams of lasers in a 90º arc in front of the ship. The wide shot covers more area but is less concentrated than the forward shot. In addition to its offensive capabilities, the ship can also block enemy shots by activating a temporary shield. When the shield is on, the ship cannot fire shots but the shield destroys enemies upon contact.
Two bonus games are included on the Eschatos DVD as follows:
» Judgement Silversword - Vertical shooter developed by M-KAI
» Cardinal Sins - An updated version of Judgement Silversword
Judgement Silversword was released on the Wonderswan portable but Cardinal Sins was only available as a download for the WonderWitch kit.
Preorders for Xbox Eschatos are welcome to ship on March 24, 2011. The first printing of the game includes a bonus CD soundtrack.
