While you don’t need to have played Ginga Force to get the most out of Natsuki Chronicles, if you’re a shooter fan, then these games form an awesome partnership from a narrative and gameplay angle with one being a side scroller, and the other being a vertical scroller. In the story you’ll play as rookie RDF (Rapid Defense Force) pilot Natsuki, as she is tasked with protecting her home planet Seventier from eco-terrorists hell bent on stealing its cache of the energy rich element Septonium.
Just like that title, Natsuki Chronicles has a big emphasis on story, in fact it takes things even further being at once a prequel and sequel to Ginga Force, with an intersecting narrative whereby the story takes place over two timelines, one from Natsuki’s past as she remembers her training in the RDF, while the other timeline is set during the war over Septonium, set at the same time as Gonga Force’s events. Shooter fans amongst you may remember the cult classic vertical-scrolling shooter Ginga Force, which came to PlayStation 4 in September of last year. This new game is both prequel and sequel to Ginga Force Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles are our latest titles, taking on all the previous experience we’ve garnered to create two standout examples of the vertical and side-scrolling shooter genres. With a 90% rating on Steam, it’s been on shooter fans’ radar for years.
