ININ and YSNET have announced the upcoming release of Air Twister, on PC and consoles. The 3D shooting adventure game crafted by Yu Suzuki, the creator of the legendary Shenmue series, will launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC this autumn.
In Air Twister, players embark on a quest with Princess Arch as she fights to save her planet from destruction. Armed with arrows that trace graceful arcs of light, she confronts bizarre invaders in her path. The game features more than 20 unique enemies to conquer and beautifully designed stages to explore, and more than a passing similarity to Space Harrier.
ININ and YSNET are promising high replay value through unlocking new gameplay modes. These include Arcade, Turbo, Boss Rush and more. Furthermore, the game will also feature a number of ‘minigames with surprising elements’. Interesting.
To further evoke a sense of nostalgia for traditional arcade games, Yu Suzuki designed Air Twister with varying levels of difficulty, providing an authentic old-school arcade feel. This challenging gameplay is amplified by a musical score by Valensia.
