CAMBRIA SWORD: ANOTHER CRY Brings Prehistoric Battle to exA-Arcadia

VAGUES GAMES launched CAMBRIA SWORD: ANOTHER CRY on the exA-Arcadia platform alongside titles like Axel City 2 The Final Storm in 2024, a horizontal shooter inspired by Cambrian era life forms battling galactic invaders across millennia. The game combined metal aesthetics with hand-drawn 2D graphics created by Magic: The Gathering artist Aogachou.

Players selected from six distinct prehistoric life forms, each offering unique playstyles and weapon configurations. The extensive arsenal featured 60 total weapons, with each character wielding main weapons that had four variations plus six sub-weapon attack options. Strategic weapon selection became crucial when facing the game's roster of over 80 destructive bosses.

The game's multiple stage routes determined different endings based on player choices, encouraging repeated playthroughs to discover all narrative paths. Director K. Okada composed live-recorded metal soundtracks that emphasized the game's aggressive combat themes.

CAMBRIA SWORD: ANOTHER CRY delivered industry-standard 1-frame input lag on exA-Arcadia hardware. The game supported both landscape and portrait screen orientations, with 16:9 HD and 4:3 SD aspect ratios available. Full English and Japanese language options included JVS compatibility for arcade operators worldwide.
