Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo is a vertical scrolling arcade shoot 'em up following the journey of a lone Mecha through the desolate retro stylized world and the onslaught of enemy waves to reach Veloce, the young genius responsible for the extinction of humankind.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
"This is the creator of Mecha Ritz:Steel Rondo, Yuki Shouhei, but you can just call me HEY if you want. I'm pleased to finally release this title to the whole world. It's all thanks to the help of Hanaji Games and their creative staff, as well as the support of our enthusiastic fans and friends. I am truly, truly grateful to all of you.
I was responsible for producing the graphics, sound, text, and programming for this release. Now that the game is released, I thought I would share a few of my own thoughts.
My goal with this project was to "Spread the fun of shoot 'em ups". In order to do that, I tried to create a game that would appeal to the widest audience possible, regardless or skill or experience. One of my solutions to cater to the needs of more skilled players was to implement a ranking system. Of course, I didn't stop there. I tried to sneak in elements that would get everyone's heart racing. Shoot 'em ups are incredibly easy to grasp. "You aim, you shoot". It's about as primitive as you can get. Even nowadays, I feel confident that its appeal has not yet waned, and everyone can find enjoyment out of it. And even though I'm the creator, I think there are limitless ways in which to present such games.
For this game, I will be happy if it contributes even a little bit to the shoot 'em up genre. I pray for the shoot 'em up genre to continue to grow and become more and more varied. Of course, I happen to be exceptionally passionate about the genre, so I intend to devote myself to more games in the future. Going forward I, Yuki Shouhei, will continue to create, with even more original concepts, so please look forward to that.
I know this comes a bit late, but I look forward to hearing from you."
