As you can see in the above trailer, Rival Megagun looks pretty wild. Not only are both players competing for a high score in traditionally one of the most hardcore genres known to video games, players can also attack each other across their screen borders. There’s even a transformation mechanic that allows one player to invade the other’s space, becoming the boss battle themselves.
Here’s the official overview and key features for Rival Megagun, per a press release from Degica Games:
Rival Megagun is a competitive split-screen vertical shmup (or shoot ’em up, shooting game, STG) where you transform into a gigantic boss ship – your “Mega Gunship” – to invade your opponent’s screen.
Features:
- Classic shmup action with a competitive twist
- Multiple playable heroes, each with their own special weapons and Mega Gunship boss form
- Intense 2-player “couch-competitive” local versus battles
- Online battles – challenge your friends or find opponents via matchmaking
- Unlockable gear and weapons for customizing your ship
