PlatinumGames has announced that its standard shmup from earlier this year, Sol Cresta, is having a whole new wave of content added to it in the form of DLC packages and a free update.
While the no-cost additions focus on expanding the game’s Caravan Mode as well as the usual tweaks to the player experience, the DLC is all about the roster. Made up of three individual purchases (or one bundle for those who want to splash out all at once), the downloadable content adds in fighters from Sol Cresta’s 1980s predecessors: Moon Cresta, Terra Cresta and Terra Cresta II: Mandler no Gyakushuu.
Each of these new units grants their own perks on the battlefield including retro attacks and combinations to mix up your tactical approach to the game. There is a taster of each new fighter in the above trailer, but you can check out the following from PlatinumGames for a full rundown of what each of the purchases will bring:
