Sol Cresta - 1CC (Normal)*

Описание: *Video was edited to reduce the time of pauses, which were more than 10 minutes in length. Some music will cut out at these intervals (2:31 - 2:33, 2:13 - 2:19).

Sol Cresta is a new game by PlatinumGames, developers of big hits like Vanquish, Bayonetta, Anarchy Reigns, and The Wonderful 101. I have not really cared for Platinum's output for over a decade, but I found their first forray at shoot 'em ups to be very, very good.

This game quite a lot of depth. They have a bullet time, formations that change your shot type, and scoring mechanics that are heavily tied to survival (extends, meter for formations and bullet time, and shield slots for tanking hits if necessary). The game is also heavy on routing, and there are many varied strategies for bosses. The only criticism I have of this game is the length, about 50 - 55 minutes, which could have been cut as some of the game's levels have moments where nothing is really happening.

I hope this new director, Takanori Sato, continues to impress with Plat's Neo Classic Series. I can't wait to see what he does next.
