Independent Japanese developer G.rev Ltd. has announced that it will be releasing Strania \u2013The Stella Machina- EX<\/strong> for the\u00a0Nintendo Switch on January 23. The game is an upgraded version of the original Strania \u2013The Stella Machina-, which came out back in 2011 in arcades and on Xbox 360.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now coming to the Nintendo Switch, Strania \u2013The Stella Machina- EX is the \u201cextra\u201d version of the nostalgic robot action shooter. Released in arcades in 2020, the EX version comes with numerous quality-of-life improvements and added content to make it the definitive edition of the robot blaster.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Strania<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First of all, Strania \u2013The Stella Machina- EX features balance adjustments that make it easier for\u00a0newcomers to get into the game. The player’s armaments have been buffed and other variables like enemy attacks have been adjusted accordingly. The original game\u2019s three difficulty levels (Normal, Hard and Expert) have also been dialed down to make the game more accessible. Also, the game\u2019s true ending can now be viewed by beating the game on Normal difficulty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Strania<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the EX version contains a brand-new challenge for Strania and shmup veterans- a new \u201cHell\u201d difficulty mode which is significantly harder than the original game\u2019s highest difficulty level.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Strania<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other bonuses in the Switch release of Strania \u2013The Stella Machina- EX include the option to switch to a new arranged soundtrack by original composer Keishi Yonao, and the inclusion of the additional story “Side Vower,” which was initially released as a DLC for the Xbox 360 version.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strania \u2013The Stella Machina- EX will be released for Nintendo Switch on January 23.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
