Ys NET, the development team founded by Yu Suzukilegendary creator of Shenmue at the time of Sega, has announced the new game in development, namely Air Twistercreated exclusively for Apple Arcadetherefore coming to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac for subscribers to the service.
Air Twister is one “on track” shooter reminiscent of some old Sega creatures, such as Space Harrier or Panzer Dragoon, but characterized by a particular setting tending to a mixture of fantasy and science fiction.
In the game we find ourselves playing Princess Arch and fighting against hordes of bizarre alien invaders, trying to save our planet from destruction.
The game is built to be used with the touch screen, so the controls reflect this condition and are best suited for use with iPhone and iPad in particular. It is called an “endless shooter”, so it seems that the levels have a sort of procedural composition, also because among the characteristics it is mentioned that they are always different in each game.
However, there are 12 environments, 20 different creatures and 10 bosses to defeat. The protagonist can also progress through the accumulation of power-ups, which also allow you to unlock new game possibilities and there is a sort of competitive online multiplayer based on scores.
Air Twitter’s release date is set for June 24, 2022 on Apple Arcade, with the game being downloadable for free by all subscribers to Apple’s subscription service. As you can also hear in the video above, the audio accompaniment is by the Dutch composer Valensia, of whom it seems that Yu Suzuki is a big fan. The mix between the strange setting and the music in question is at least unusual, so to speak.
