Stuttgart, 15, July, 2021: ININ proudly presents a really unique game that calls for players who are not afraid of any challenge that combines action, with exciting tank battles, together with puzzle solving. ININ, the publisher through the SLG Partner Store, is excited to be releasing ConnecTank on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch with a Physical Boxed Limited and Special Limited Editions.

With its unique presentation, colourful and enchanting art style, the game’s premise is intuitive, challenging and inventive. Skill and teamwork is needed to fight rival tanks where 1 – 4 players can be a part of this 2D action adventure game.

Crazy and Fun

Set in what can best be described as a factory, which is not the kind of setting you would come to expect, players view the action from a slightly off centre top down view. It’s bold, it’s colourful and help is always on hand!

Build new tanks and take on jobs in an ever-changing world. Link conveyor belts together, craft ammo, and put out fires as you battle rival tanks to help Finneas Fat Cat deliver packages. Make deliveries for one of three barons that are seeking to become the top tycoon of New Pangea. Will you line Finneas Fat Cat’s pockets with more coins, amass an art collection with Lord Louis Longneck or help Emperor Pontius Penguin transport packages for the glory of the tundra.

Build up big honking tanks with rad designs to fight enemies and watch your skill and visions grow. Improve your existing tanks and get new tanks, not forgetting that each giant tank comes with its own skills, strengths and weaknesses. There are over a hundred missions, dozens of tanks to battle and each baron has his own drivers. Ironically as a driver yourself, whilst delivering your packages in a giant tank, you need to fight the rival shipping companies!

ConnecTank’s intuitive design ensures fluid gameplay and a collection of NPCs help progression and build momentum. Being a driver, in the bustling business world and defeating other tanks, means being skillful and precise with your weapons – exacting what, where and when to fire your cannons – is all part of the tanks you control. It really is dog eat dog with the opposing baron drivers.

A great variety of parameters are on offer to hone your skill and actions to progress. There is also a variety of vendors you can interact with and depending on which barron you are working with could affect the outcome.

Served Up Perfect

Menus, stats, numbers, grids, maps, numbers – all you would come to expect from a game of this description come complete with colour coding, etc. to make decisions easy. That said, the challenge is both compelling and fun!

Stuttgart, 12th May 2021 – TAITO and ININ Games are proud to announce DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ will be released both physically and digitally on Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation 4 for Europe and North America this summer. DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ is a new revision of DariusBurst AC and comes with gorgeous 3D graphics.

It’s now 10 years since the original version and the original team, which is highly motivated, is still proudly working together on this version. The DariusBurst series started in 2009 on PSP, and was then greatly expanded upon with additional features and improved graphics for the 2010 arcade release. The game is developed by Pyramid Inc. and will not only include features of the arcade version of “Another Chronicle EX”, but there will also be new features like a replay mode and new missions.

Prepare to burst with power

The Burst Beam brings a new, strategic dynamic into the game and changes the battles dramatically. The screen-filling laser shoots powerful blasts or can be locked into a certain position and be used as a shield against enemy fire. Asteroids and enemy fire are replenishing the shield, which gives the player the opportunity to hide behind it for quite some time. A big advantage in boss battles!

Deep sea Sci-Fi setting

One of the series’ most iconic features is the unique oceanic-themed design of enemy bosses. Inspired by a mix of Sci-Fi and deep-sea creatures, embodied as large mechanical battleships, they can be admired in all the graphical glory of DariusBurst: Another Chronicle EX+!

The screen is ultra-broad, modelled after the dual-display of the arcade version creating a fantastic sight into the marine-themed setting. The magnificent sea-life panorama is enhanced by an equally great soundtrack.TAITO’s in-house sound team Zuntata amplifies the adrenaline-filled atmosphere with powerful beats and emotional tunes.

Features:

• Local co-op for up to 4 players
• 4 game modes and all new and exclusive scenarios
• High replayability with branching stages
• Modern HD graphics and a great atmospheric soundtrack
• Face off against more than 40 gigantic battleships
