Japanese bullet hell Crimzon Clover will be launching on Nintendo Switch October 29, released as Crimzon Clover: World Explosion. Publisher Degica Games and developers Yotsubane and Adventure Planning Service announced the upcoming release with a new trailer.
The shoot ‘em up originally released almost ten years ago in 2011 in Japan, subsequently landing as an arcade game in April 2013. Crimzon Clover: World Ignition was the newly-titled variant released worldwide for PC via Steam in June 2014. The vertical scroller was named after the European clover, which received favorable reviews across the board for its design. The port was compared to other bullet hell games from Japanese game developer Cave Interactive, known for producing bullet hell shoot 'em ups between 1995 and 2013.
Moving into 2020 with warp speed showcases the series reigning bullets on the Nintendo Switch. Described as a “wild ride”, Crimzon Clover: World Explosion allows you to select which gun-blazing ship you want to be in control of, and whether you’re cut out to play arcade style. There's a Novice style for newbies, or an Arranged version to unlock a whole new level of bullet hell. Various modes can also be selected, including Boost, Original, Unlimited, and Time Attack.
Original is home to Crimzon Clover’s main mode, progressing in top-down shooter style through various stages which leads towards the final boss. Boost Mode will automatically adjust the difficulty settings based on how good a pilot you are and how precise your attacks are. Unlimited morphs every platform into a stage for hardcore players to flaunt their skills and charge through a wall of bullets in survival of the fittest. Finally, Time Attack will be you versus the clock, in a classic quest for high score dominance within the given time frame.
The announcement trailer featured head-bopping arcade tunes whilst your eyes got assaulted by the game’s explosive visuals. Nintendo Switch users can expect fast-paced gameplay to keep the adrenaline pumping as you strive to beat your high score. Crimzon Clover truly brings the classic gameplay style and feel of being back back at the arcade onto your portable screens, with a thrilling display of explosives fit to rival any fireworks display this fall.
