To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Radirgy Swag has been confirmed to be coming to the Nintendo Switch, with a June 13, 2019 release date. RS34 has also given out details on the gameplay and story of the game. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The game features Shizuru’s friend Tadayo Aita as the protagonist, with new character Atora aiding Tadayo instead. In the game’s home screen, you can access the main game, the settings, and rankings, with Tadayo commenting and talking to herself along the way.
The game will have you shooting down enemies in order to collect the triangle-shaped items that lie within.
One of the main objectives of the game is to clear the Orders that appear on the left side of the screen, with over 200 conditions to fulfill. Around the ship is the ABSNET shield that eliminates all minor enemies and bullets on screen, which you can use to fulfill the Orders.
The game also retains the ‘Over’ system from previous games, where collecting too many speed powerups will cause the player unit to be able to speed around quickly, although at greater risk of hitting bullets or enemies. Additionally, the series’ Sword weapon returns as a close range option that does more damage than shots and can take out most mooks in one shot.
Story
After the Umbra Incident, I, Tadayo Aita, was forced to drop out of school. It’s been several months since I’ve started living at a certain disused train station in Shinjuku, and I currently work as a trash collector part-time.
I received a special request from Atora, a full-time employee of the company I work at, to ride the terminal suit White Tiger, and reach a small asteroid near the moon… Hold on, the Moon? Space?!
While I collect trash and fulfill assignments set to me by the trash company, just what awaits me at my destination?
…I’m a bit worried if I go by myself, so I want you to aid me in this journey as well!
Radirgy Swag reaches the Nintendo Switch on June 13, 2019.
