The only way to buy this recently released game will be from Games On Demand or perhaps online as the game is in Japan only but we're glad that it is region free. Speaking of Games On Demand, I already bought Eschatos from it last year in which the creators of Eschatos made Ginga Force. The effects, shots and other stuffs are somewhat similar between these two games and especially for the sound effects and the way you get the 1UP.
What's even better is that you get the full voice acting support for the gameplay and cutscenes but one of the inferior things about this game is the opening. How is the opening made out of in-game graphics, that's kind of bull-crap compared to other shmups that have true animated openings such as Otomedius Excellent and Trigger-Heart Exelica Enhanced? At least, those two games have the true animated openings but for this game, the developers should have collaborated with the company that has the ability to make a true anime-like opening. Also, you can notice the lack of the boss destruction sequence. Sure, you're capturing the criminals in this game according to the concept and the storyline but later on, you get to encounter the craziest antagonist of all who's trying to summon his own space fleet or whatever to wipe out the fictional Seventier. It was fine with some energy that powered Seventier until he corrupts it for unknown reasons and it's up to you to stop him in further parts of the game. This is where the real disappointment comes in after defeating him when it comes to the lack of the boss destruction sequence like what's so difficult like that when the whole game is in full 4:3? At least for Strania, the whole thing is seriously big, the explosions, the bosses, the enemies, etc but this one surely supersedes Eschatos graphically although the whole graphical quality doesn't seem to be quite enough. Lastly, is a bunch of mini-training simulators to deal with but how are those fun anyway?
The release date? Well, to a surprise, it was released in Valentine's Day last month and it was also when the Lunar New Year days were still on-going but too bad the developers didn't seem to prepare anything for that special day other than the game's release.
