Every two centuries, the
monstrous insects of the Forest of Pearls have demanded a teenage human
sacrifice from the kingdom of Starfall. It's about that time but winds of change
are in the air. To put an end to the barbaric ritual, the precocious 15-year old
Princess Reko straddles a golden-shelled beetle named Kiniro and works her way
through insect-filled levels where purple buckshot chokes the air with their
density. Guide Reko through mazes of moving blips and use beetle firepower to
take on all comers.
Reko shoots for her life with the following weapons:
M-Power - Vulcan cannon
W-Power - Spread shot
S-Power - Streaming laser
Additional power-ups may be gathered
up during the game such as wingmen which fly adjacent to Reko and add to her
main shots and a shadow beetle which follows Kiniro's body with additional
firepower.
Seven years after porting Mushihimesama on the Japanese Playstation 2,
Cave is bringing the game over to the Xbox 360 for a May 24, 2012 release.
Game modes in the Xbox 360 port (as seen in the first screenshot below) are
Novice, X360, and Arrange. Additional game options are Score Attack,
Leaderboards, Training, Replay Data, and Options. An image gallery is
probably located in the Options section. Reservations are welcome starting
today for two versions:
» Mushihimesama HD Regular Edition (JPY7140) or US$96.90 from NCS
» Mushihimesama HD Limited Edition (JPY9240) or US$128.90 from NCS
The limited edition of the game is bundled with a soundtrack CD and both
versions of the first printing will be packed with a DLC code so gamers can
download Mushihimesama Cave Matsuri Ver 1.5 which was a full-blown
PCB in the arcades.
