Ураганный скроллер от японского разработчика, автора серии Ether Vapor.

Игра находится в стадии разработки. Данная версия от 29 декабря 2012 года.

A Bullet Hell Shooter released by the japanese doujin developer Edelweiss.

A spiritual successor to Ethor Vapor Remaster, Astebreed features shifting perspective from side-scrolling to top-down scrolling to third-person. The mech has four subweapons and a melee weapon, activated via subweapon keys and by tapping any weapon key respectively. The player mecha's hitbox is always visible; the life system consists of an armor bar that partially regenerates after a certain amount of time with no hits. It's also possible to temporarily lose subweapons from bad graze damage.

There are two new gameplay features that weren't present in Ether Vapor - one are the swirly wisps that circle around you, they're the ones that basically shoot your desired weapon. When you hold the "Locis Remote" button down, they stay in place and and keep firing while your mech is free to go elsewhere on the screen. This way you can have two angles of attack going on at once to cover more of the screen. The other is the dash, which quickly moves into the direction you push while hitting the button. It's not a teleport though, if there's a big rock in the way you won't be going through it with the dash. After learning the boss attacks and when they're most vulnerable, you can use the dash to quickly close in, slash them with your sword a bunch of times and then dash back out just when they start a more dangerous pattern. Very fun. You're clearly meant to use the dash a lot, since the mech's standard moving speed feels a tad slow. The dash has a heat-based limit on how much it can be used, not doing it for a while cools if off quickly.
