505 Games Bringing Formerly Japan-Exclusive Shooter Caladrius to Xbox 360 in Europe



A nice surprise for a Monday morning

505 Games will be bringing MOSS' top-down scrolling shooter Caladrius to Xbox 360 in Europe, if age raters PEGI are to be believed.

They've just issued the game with a 12 rating on the platform, with the higher rating coming due to the game containing "sexual images and/or sexual innuendo."

Ooh, saucy!

The game was released on Xbox 360 in Japan back in 2013 before jumping to the arcades later that year, although it never made it out of the country. This is the second somewhat obscure Japanese shooter to be ported years after its initial Japanese release, following on from the eventual worldwide launch of Shooting Love 200X a few months back. A trailer from the Japanese launch of Caladrius is below.




The game was ported to the PlayStation 3 as Caladrius Blaze in 2014, with that version including downloadable characters, stages and story modes that were made available for the Xbox 360 edition. Whether Europe will be getting the full Blaze edition or just the vanilla Caladrius experience is yet to be confirmed. There's also no word on a UK or North American release date, nor whether or not the game will arrive in stores. We'd imagine that the Games on Demand version will be on the only way to play.

And our good friend @lifelower has pointed out that the English version's PDF manual has already been posted on Xbox.com. You can check it out here.
