Sol Cresta Dramatic Edition - Nintendo Switch

Buy Sol Cresta Dramatic Edition in Australia

Sol Cresta Dramatic Edition for Nintendo Switch is a retro-inspired vertical shoot-'em-up from PlatinumGames, the acclaimed studio behind Bayonetta and NieR: Automata. Released as the flagship title in PlatinumGames' NEO-CLASSIC ARCADE series, Sol Cresta revives the docking and formation mechanics of classic 1980s shooters Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta, giving the 36-year-old series its first true successor and its first entry not made by original developer Nichibutsu.

This Dramatic Edition bundles the full game together with its Dramatic Mode expansion, giving players both the fast, arcade-style scoring runs of the original Arcade Mode and a densely woven story campaign in one physical Switch cartridge, complete with online leaderboards and a high-score Caravan Mode.

Free-Form Docking Combat

Players pilot three fighters, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano, that dock together to form the flagship Yamato. Splitting and reforming the ships mid-battle changes your attack properties on the fly, letting you fire lasers, homing missiles, and piercing drills in different formations to fend off the invading Mega Zofer armies.

Classic 80s Style, Modern Depth

The game's chiptune soundtrack comes from legendary composer Yuzo Koshiro, paying homage to the sound and visuals of the original Cresta games while PlatinumGames layers in fresh scoring systems and a time-limited arcade structure that rewards mastery and replay.
