Today, Red Art Games and Last Boss 88 announced the final release date for Shinorubi. It’ll come to Switch on January 12, 2024.
Note that the date only applies to the digital version. A physical release is still planned, but due to manufacturing delays, it won’t be available on Switch until Q2 2024.
Shinorubi was announced for Switch in August 2022. It was originally planned for early 2023, so it’s taken quite a bit longer than initially expected.
Here’s some information about the game:
Access to precious raw materials have been the cause of armed conflicts for thousands of years. And what could very well be the greatest material of them all, a compound simply called “R-R,” can only be found on one planet. That planet is Shinorubi.
“R-R” grants whoever manages to get his hands on it great power as well as exceptional longevity. That pure energy can be used for good as well as for bad. And for a thousand years, the BAÄA family has ruthlessly ruled over Shinorubi and kept “R-R” to itself. To maintain the status quo, King R.LOYD III has entrusted the protection of the kingdom to his only daughter NEMESIS BAÄA. She leads a team of five Generals who will protect the royal family’s interests by any means necessary.
All hope isn’t lost though. A legend says that the King’s supposedly inviolable sanctuary will open on the solstice happening on the 1000th year anniversary of his family’s reign. And that a team of 8 rebellious former members of his army will try to use this unique opportunity to finally seize “R-R” and put an end to the madness.
You are one of those rebels.
Shinorubi – Last Boss 88’s first game – was inspired by the developers’ deep love of Japanese danmaku shooters. With eight different spaceships and as many play styles as well as various “Arrange Modes,” Shinorubi offers maximum replayability. Extremely challenging as every worthy bullet hell shoot ’em up should be, Shinorubi is also welcoming of players new to the genre with its multiple difficulty levels.
Key Features
