Publishing company LionWing has announced they’ll be releasing The Adventures of Ten And Till for US audiences this year on Steam.
The Adventures of Ten and Till is a bullet hell shoot-em up that will be available on Steam on May 6 of this year according to LionWing Publishing’s twitter. The game was originally created by solo indie developer Toro Nishino and released in Japan in 2016. LionWing is handling the localization of the game for western audiences.
According to LionWing’s website, the game features two playable characters Ten and Till that can be swapped during play each providing unique advantages in combat. It’s a traditional-style bullet-hell featuring challenging gameplay, a risk-reward scoring system, shield mechanic, and two different endings depending on how you play.
The game features lo-fi pixel art with bright colors and doujin style artwork. During the game player’s can enjoy one of 25 tracks from the game’s impressive soundtrack and can unlock side-bar art. The gameplay appears to be intense and the shield mechanic is likely to be a helpful feature for staying alive in this bullet hell.
Perhaps what’s most impressive about this game is that it was created entirely by one person. The game appears solid and did well enough in Japan to justify a western release. While it may not achieve mainstream success in the US it is more than likely to develop a cult following.
