Dive into an immersive pseudo-3D experience that pushes the limits of pixel art. With a perfect fusion of background music and evolving stage design, you can experience a feeling only possible in a Shmup! Simply "dodge, shoot, and destroy" without any extra baggage. Devil Blade Reboot strictly follows a strict design concept that pursues catharsis of shmups to the extreme.(Storyline via IGDB)
