Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden have teamed up to bring an exciting new release to the world of retro gaming.
Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. This highly anticipated game continues the iconic IP, previously only available in Japan on the PC Engine.
Fans of the series will be thrilled to finally have access to this long-awaited release. Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World was the first game in the series to be released in CD format, allowing for animated cutscenes and voice acting that add a new level of immersion to the game. The development team took full advantage of this format, creating a retro arcade action feast that captures the excitement and appeal that made the first two games true genre favorites.
Produced by Toshiro Tsuchida, known for his work on classics like Gley Lancer and Langrisser, Cyber Citizen Shockman 3 features the same level of quality and attention to detail that fans have come to expect from his work. Tsuchida’s extensive experience in the gaming industry also includes working on successful franchises like Front Mission and Arc the Lad. After Square Enix acquired his company, G-Craft, Tsuchida even had a hand in creating the beloved Final Fantasy series.
The game’s background story centers around Sonya and Arnold, two characters who win a lottery and decide to take a vacation on a tropical island. However, their relaxing getaway is abruptly interrupted when a strange spaceship appears and begins attacking the city. Without hesitation, Sonya and Arnold transform into their alter egos, Shockman, and take on the mysterious enemy.
One of the most exciting features of Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World is the variety of stages included in the game. Players will encounter both platform and scrolling shooting stages, providing a well-rounded gaming experience. The game also offers a 2-player mode, allowing friends to team up and take on the powerful bosses together.
In addition to the English translation, players will also have the option to switch to the original Japanese text for a more authentic experience. And for die-hard fans of the series, the game also includes an image gallery featuring hand-made scans of the original game.
The developers have also added hand emulation features, such as rewind/forward, save states, and CRT filters, making it easy for players to customize their experience and enjoy the game in their preferred style.
With the launch of Cyber Citizen Shockman 3: The Princess from Another World, Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden are not only bringing a highly anticipated retro game to the Western market but also paying tribute to the talent and expertise of Toshiro Tsuchida.
