We always love hearing about new budget retro games being released, and one of our favourite publishers, EastAsiaSoft, has announced its latest one. S. Prysm Destroyer is a side-scrolling 2.5D shooter inspired by run ’n gun genre classics and mecha anime. It’s out on the 19th of March 2025 for PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, priced at $7.99. In S. Prysm Destroyer, players will blast through enemy hordes and collect elemental power-ups to unleash the awesome potential of Prysm Destroyer attacks. There is a chance to chase high scores through skillful play and unlock loads of costumes for the game’s protagonist, Amor.
Not that a story matters in these kinds of games, but for those interested it’s set in a future ravaged by mechanized enemies known as the Primordial. One girl named Amor might hold the only key to reclaiming civilization in S. Prysm Destroyer. Amor had fallen in love with a boy whose passion was constructing robots, but when he died, the tragedy left Amor emotionless, and the mech he designed had mysteriously grown more hostile. Acting as the mech’s pilot, Amor sets out to wreak havoc on the enemy by drawing power from prysmals, a material from the same comets that seemingly brought the Primordial to Earth.
