Eastasiasoft has announced that it will be bringing the retro side-scrolling shoot ’em up Schildmaid MX digitally to consoles later this year, with the Nintendo Switch also receiving a physical release. Inspired by genre classics, Schildmaid MX combines nostalgic pixel art with innovative shield mechanics, resulting in an intense spin on bullet hell games. Strategically run into projectiles to power your starfighter’s special weaponry, turning your enemies’ firepower against them.
Here is more information about the game, from Eastasiasoft:
Outnumbered and outgunned in deep space? No problem! Turn your enemies’ attacks into pure bullet heaven with your advanced Schildmaid technology and start collecting dangerous projectiles to power up your ship and score big! But when your shield runs out and danger time kicks in, you’d better switch up your strategy fast!
Schildmaid MX is a fresh and frenetic side-scrolling 2D shoot ’em up in which you pick 1 of 3 ferocious fighter spacecraft to wreak havoc on the invasion fleet that threatens your planet. Embark on multiple attack runs and strike fear into the hearts of your enemy. The best pilots are immortalized on the online leaderboards!
