While the Shoot ‘em Up’s Standard Edition will be available from multiple retailers at launch in Europe and North America, MACROSS Shooting Insight’s two special editions are exclusive to Red Art Games’ official online store (PEGI-rated versions) and Video Games Plus (ESRB-rated versions).

More information regarding the release date of the MACROSS Shooting Insight Collector’s Edition will be shared at a later date. MACROSS Shooting Insight’s European physical versions can be pre-ordered from Red Art Games’ official online store. Physical ESRB-rated copies can be pre-ordered from VGP’s online store.

What is MACROSS Shooting Insight exactly?

MACROSS Shooting Insight is an all-new MACROSS game, the latest entry in the landmark science fiction franchise! When multiple-dimensional folds suddenly occur across space-time, pilots and songstresses alike find themselves inexplicably transported to Battle 7! From there, five stories unfold with the fate of the galaxy at stake.

Pilots, songstresses, and characters from five MACROSS series (MACROSS Plus, MACROSS Zero, MACROSS 7, MACROSS Frontier and MACROSS Delta) take center stage in a completely original story.

MACROSS Shooting Insight includes fan-favorite songs from all featured MACROSS series! Use the power of songs to gain an edge in battle! Synchronize with songstresses while playing stages to activate a variety of buffs and debuffs, such as increased firepower, increased manoeuvrability, reduced enemy fire speed, etc.

What features can players expect?

Macross Shooting Insight

Experience a Multi-Dimensional Shooting Game featuring pilots and songstresses that have come together across time! Play as pilots from different time periods and go through stages made up of multiple scenes, with each scene featuring distinct game types that utilize the different modes of each pilot’s Valkyrie.

Stages include multiple game styles, such as horizontally, vertically, and 360-degree scrolling shooting.

Summary of features:
  • Brand new and original story
  • Characters from 5 different MACROSS anime series
  • Multiple gameplay styles in each level (horizontally scrolling shooting, vertically scrolling shooting, and 360-degree scrolling shooting)
  • Fan-favorite songs from all featured MACROSS series
  • Japanese dub
  • English localization

The game’s latest update on MACROSS Shooting Insight‘s Western version also includes a series of improvements. Here’s what owners and players of that version can expect coming to the latest update:

  • Difficulty: A setting has been added to allow for more HP recovery through automatic recovery. A Boost setting has also been added to the current auto-recovery amount. The player’s HP will now recover at a much faster rate after taking damage than it did in the original Japanese version of the game.
  • Continues: After getting a “Game Over” in the middle of a stage, players can now restart from the same stage, even if they have returned to the menu. This allows players to try again as many times as they wish.
  • Music: The length of Diva songs that are activated during gameplay has been adjusted. The length of time between the end of a Diva song and the return to the regular stage music has been adjusted.
  • Quality of life: The game controls, which were displayed only once in the original version of MACROSS Shooting Insight, will now be displayed anytime the player pauses the game.
