Combine!Separation!formation!Control three fighter planes and take back the sun from the devil’s hands!
A new free combination shooting game that inherits the spirit of the masterpieces “Moon Cresta” and “Terra Cresta,” which were released in the 1980s and excited people.

The Neo-Classic Arcade series presented by Platinum Games is a project that inherits the spirit of classic games and pursues the essential fun of games using modern technology.The first release, “Sol Cresta”, is equipped with a “free combination” system that further evolves the romance of fusion and strategic formations of the masterpieces “Moon Cresta” and “Terra Cresta.”The main character, Yamato, consists of three aircraft, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo, and their attack performance changes depending on their arrangement when combined.You can freely separate and combine, which is the key to strategy, so use them depending on the situation and stand up against the invading army of Mega Zophar.Humanity suffered a devastating defeat due to the invasion of the solar system by the demon lord Mandora

Deprived of the moon and forced to leave Earth, humanity is now forced to retreat to Neptune’s 12th moon, Laomedeia, at the outer edge of the solar system.Humanity stakes its last hope on forming an organization called “Sol Cresta” to reclaim the solar system.The future of the solar system is entrusted to the cutting-edge combined fighter-attack aircraft “Yamato”.

The main machine “Yamato” that confronts the freely combined
Mega Zophar is composed of three fighter aircraft.At the start of the stage, you will be dispatched by a single aircraft, but as you acquire items, fellow aircraft will join you and become more powerful!In addition to changes in attack performance due to separation and combination, by making full use of multiple formations, it becomes possible to perform more powerful and diverse attacks.

Classic style BGM that brings back the excitement of the 1980s
is created by Yuzo Koshiro, a master of chiptune sound.With nostalgic yet new graphics and sounds that respect the series works “Moon Cresta” and “Terra Cresta,” the exciting arcade scene of the 1980s is brought back to life in a way that goes beyond “memory correction.”There’s also a “caravan mode” where you compete to see how high your score can be within the time limit!Share the latest arcade experience with rivals from all over the world.

A new challenge for Platinum Games
What would happen if Platinum Games, which has a reputation for the feel and playability of action games through the development of “Bayonetta,” “NieR:Automata,” and “Astral Chain,” made a shooting game?Here’s the answer.Although it looks like a classic, with its original game system and solid playability, enjoy a new type of shooting experience that increases in depth the more you play.
