Release Date: November 25, 2010
A two-dimensional shooter created by the genre-oriented Japanese studio Cave. The title is the fifth installment of the DoDonPachi series and an improved port of the original version of the game, which was released on slot machines in 2008.
DoDonPachi Resurrection is the fifth game in CAVE's flagship DonPachi series.
After the turmoil caused by the assault on Lunapolis which sparked the Blissful Death Wars (as depicted in the previous instalment), peace seems to have been restored, with the legendary DonPachi Corps retreating to its HQ in a space-time fold. Six years later, anomalies are detected in the space-time fabric, yet tests reveal nothing out of order, with the portals regularly functioning for both teleportation and time travel; also, the leader of the DonPachi squadron Colonel Longhena Gottvin dismisses the matter due to the lack of actual danger.
Nevertheless, a technician delves deeper into the anomaly, discovering that something has infiltrated the HQ computer systems and is using the portals to send large quantities of materials and data to the past, spreading out like a virus and quickly evolving. Unsettled, the Colonel authorizes the last transport ship to time jump in order to fight back the invasion before future changes.
Once again, the three pilots jump back in time to 2008 and enter the fray, the transport ship being targeted as soon as it exits the portal: the Element Daughters, gigantic evolutions of the Dolls, are waiting...
