Description
The all-out robot action-shooting game "Strania -The Stella Machina-", reminiscent of the good old days of arcade games, has evolved into the ”EX” (Extra) version and will become available on the Nintendo Switch™!
By combining both strategic and exhilarating gameplay along with dramatic presentation and high-quality sound design, we believe players will surely be moved!
■The “Original version” and "EX version” explained
The arcade and home-console versions (also known as the "Original versions") of "Strania -The Stella Machina-”, made by the independent Japanese game developer G.rev Ltd. (G.Rev), was first released in 2011. Nearly a decade later, in 2020, The “EX" version was released in arcades as "Strania -The Stella Machina- EX” with quality-of-life changes and additional content. This enhanced “EX” version that was first released for arcades will finally be available for home-consoles for the first time on the Nintendo Switch™!
■Here comes "EX"! Changes from the original version
Below are the main changes from the original version.
1: Balance adjustments that make it easier to play
The player’s armaments have been buffed across the board.
To accommodate this change, enemy attacks and other variables have been adjusted.
In addition, the difficulty level of the existing "NORMAL," "HARD," and "EXPERT" modes were lowered.
As a result, the game has been adjusted to be more forgiving and easier to play than the original version!
2: Difficulty level "HELL" added
The much harder "HELL" mode has been added, it is considerably more difficult than the previous highest difficulty "EXPERT".
Consider it a challenge from G.rev to those who have mastered Strania!
3: Addition of an arranged soundtrack
The game can be played with a soundtrack arranged by Keishi Yonao himself, who was in charge of the music in the original version!
4: The true ending is now obtainable on the "NORMAL" difficulty level
In the original version, you could not get the true ending by playing on the “NORMAL” difficulty. But in “EX”, you can reach the true ending even on the “NORMAL” difficulty.
5: DLC "SIDE VOWER" from the original version included
The additional story "SIDE VOWER", which was originally sold separately as DLC, will now be included for free with the Nintendo Switch™ version!
Experience "Strania" once again from the perspective of Bower's army, the enemy of the Strania army!
