Video game review now as I pick up something I recently finished, Liberation Maiden.
Continuing the theme of the company Level-5, we look at a shoot-em-up done with cooperation from Suda 51 as part of the Guild series that focuses on potential new IPs in cooperation with other video game companies known as Liberation Maiden; you play as Shoko, newly elected President of Japan following the assassination of her father. Along with the help of your assistant Kira and the mecha known as Kamui, you take to the skies to stop your enemies from stealing all of Japan’s energy by destroying giant structures known as Spikes. Despite a lack of in-depth story and shortness in gameplay it feels so epic to play, so much so that it left me wanting more. I really think this game could be something special in the right hands and should be extended beyond its arcade title and with Level-5’s track record with the likes of Inazuma Eleven, Professor Layton and Yo-Kai Watch, it’s in safe hands.
Current State: Last seen in 2013 as a visual novel sequel for Playstation 3 and Vita as a Japanese exclusive, this is despite having a full English Dub in the Western 3DS Release of the original game.
Why Should it be Revived?: It really needs some love and I would so play a full game with double the levels.
