Newly revealed publisher AMATA Games and developer Flypot.LLC have announced that Kaguya will release for PC via Steam in 2027. The “friendly for beginners” shoot-’em-up can be wishlisted now.
A new trailer was released to announce AMATA Games as the publisher:
Kaguya has held two public playtests, the second beginning on June 2. The Steam store page provides this description:
Kaguya – A Bullet Hell STG That’s Friendly for Beginners!
◆ About the Game
Kaguya is a classic vertical-scrolling bullet hell shooter with a gentler difficulty curve.
Battle your way through six stages (planned) using bombs and power shots to take down waves of enemies from all directions!
Join Akari and Akane on a fully-voiced journey as they chat their way through intense battles, wiping out an army of AI machines!
This game was created by a developer who loves bullet hells but isn’t great at them, so it’s built with accessibility in mind.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the genre, this is your chance to enjoy a “kinder, gentler bullet hell experience!”
Of course, for seasoned players, we’ve got you covered too—with three difficulty modes: Normal, Hard, and Hell!
The game features full voice acting throughout!
…But since dodging bullets might keep you a little busy, we’ve included a Library Mode so you can enjoy all the voiced lines at your own pace.
Dialogue will also change depending on how you play—try to collect them all!
◆ Characters
Akari Mikado
A third-year student at Kaguya High and the game’s main heroine.
She puts on a cool and stoic front, but deep down she’s earnest—and secretly obsessed with mechs and giant robots.
She enters the battlefield wielding the “En-Tetsu” blaster gun, built in her father’s humble machine shop.
Akane Hiiragi
Akari’s tactical navigator and longtime childhood friend.
She’s energetic, outspoken, and keeps Akari grounded—especially when her inner mech geek starts to spiral out of control.
Snarky comments and teasing are just part of their daily banter.
