Storyline
Set on the planet Shinorubi, the game revolves around the struggle for the rare and powerful compound known as “R-R.” This substance grants great power and exceptional longevity to those who possess it. For a thousand years, the BAÄA family has monopolized control over Shinorubi and safeguarded the “R-R” for their own gain. However, hope arises with the legend that the King’s sanctuary will open on the solstice of the 1000th year of their reign. Eight former members of the King’s army, now rebels, plan to seize this opportunity and bring an end to the family’s reign of madness.
Gameplay and Features
Shinorubi showcases Last Boss 88’s passion for Japanese danmaku shooters. The game offers eight different spaceships, each with its own unique play style, allowing players to find their preferred approach. With various “Arrange Modes” and multiple difficulty settings, Shinorubi caters to both seasoned bullet hell veterans and newcomers to the genre. Players can expect a challenging experience with maximum replayability.
For players on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, Shinorubi provides enhanced visual quality, supporting resolutions up to 4K. Additionally, the game offers a blazingly fast frame rate of 120 fps on compatible screens, delivering an ultra-smooth and immersive gameplay experience.
