City Connection has announced Layer Section & Galactic Attack S-Tribute for PC and consoles.
Layer Section & Galactic Attack S-Tribute is launching for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on April 28th, followed by a Windows PC (via Steam) and Xbox One release later. A playable demo is now available in Japan on Switch and PS4.
Layer Section & Galactic Attack S-Tribute is actually a re-release of the classic 1994 vertical shoot ’em up by Taito, which originally released as RayForce in arcades, only to be renamed for the home release on Sega Saturn as Layer Section in Japan and Galactic Attack in North America and Europe due to trademark issues.
Here’s the debut trailer:
Here’s a rundown on the new re-release:
Released in 1995 by Taito, Layer Section is the home console version of the arcade game LayForce, a vertical shooting game.
Players control X-LAY, a mobile weapon equipped with lock-on lasers and battle against the Con-Human system for the survival of humankind.
You can also play Galactic Attack, the overseas release of Layer Section.
Enjoy the enhanced BGM of the home console game in stereo sound in this title.
The remixed main melodies are tastefully different from their arcade versions!
New useful features like game rewind, slow mode, and quick save have been added.
Compare scores with others in the new online ranking mode!
Lock-On Lasers
The game’s main feature, lock-on lasers allow you to attack enemies on the ground or in low orbit. Use your unit’s cross hairs to lock on to enemies and fire lasers at them in one fell swoop.
Target up to 8 units at once. Destroy multiple enemies together for a higher score. Destroy 8 enemies at once for a 128x multiplier!
Make full use of lock-on lasers to aim for higher scores!
