CR47-only DLC

The main fighter from Moon Cresta is back in all its former glory for you to pilot!
Picking up a special CR47 Emblem will cause your allied fighters to appear. Dock with fighters II and III to power up your craft, just like in Moon Cresta.
The CR47 can now perform Charge Shots and perhaps even turn into a phoenix SOL CRESTA-style?!

About the Game
PlatinumGames NEO-CLASSIC ARCADE series carries on the spirit and fun of classic gaming using modern technology, and the first project in this endeavor is SOL CRESTA. SOL CRESTA takes the docking and formation strategies of classic shooting games Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta and elevates them with the free-form docking system. The flagship Yamato, composed of the fighters Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susano can utilize various attacks depending on how the three ships are aligned. Docking, splitting, and reforming the ships as needed is the key to defeating the invading armies of Mega Zofer.

Game Features

• Story
  Humanity faced a crushing defeat at the hands of the Mandler Army during their last invasion of the solar system. Losing the moon and being driven from Earth, they were forced to retreat all the way to Laomedeia, the 12th moon of Neptune. With the last of their hope, they formed the solar recovery squad SOL CRESTA, and placed the fate of the solar system with the Yamato, a cutting-edge docking ship.
  
  
  
  
• Free-Form Docking
  The Yamato, standing against the evil of Mega Zofer, is composed of 3 fighters. Youll scramble with only one fighter at first, but pick up the right item and friendly fighters will appear for a power-up! Dock and split to change your attack properties and use different formations to access an amazing arsenal.
  
  
  
  
• Classic 80s-Style Excitement
  SOL CRESTAs music is provided by legendary chiptune composer Yuzo Koshiro, and the game pays homage to the sound and visuals of the earlier Cresta series games, bringing back that arcade fever while taking it beyond mere nostalgia. Theres even a time limit, high score Caravan Mode, and online leaderboards.
  
  
  
  
• PlatinumGames' New Challenge
  What would happen if PlatinumGames, developers of satisfying and jam-packed action games like Bayonetta, NieR:Automata, and ASTRAL CHAIN tried their hand at shooting? This is the answer. The visuals are classic, but the originality and depth of the systems and gameplay provide a fresh and deep shooting experience that grows each time you play.
