Sol Cresta: A Free-Form Shooting Game
Sol Cresta is a free-form shooting game developed by Platinum Games, available on Nintendo Switch. It is part of the NEO-CLASSIC ARCADE series that aims to bring back the essence of classic gaming using modern technology. The game allows you to pilot three ships - Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano, and free the solar system from the clutches of evil.
Sol Cresta takes inspiration from classic shooting games Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta and adds a new dimension to them with the "free-form docking" system. The flagship Yamato can dock, split, and reform the three ships as needed to utilize various attacks depending on how they are aligned. This strategy is crucial in defeating the invading armies of Mandler.
The game's graphics and sound design are impressive and reminiscent of classic arcade games. Sol Cresta offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for fans of the genre.
