Changeable Guardian ESTIQUE
Description
In the year 2413 Earth is invaded by the evil space pirates called Van-De-Raus, who occupy 5 financial centers and take control of the world economy. A friendly planet, Petelgeuse, sends help in the form of the transforming mech ESTIQUE, piloted by their two ace pilots Mary and Kanon
Changeable Guardian ESTIQUE is a horizontal scrolling, transforming mech shoot 'em up. ESTIQUE can transform between jet form and mech form. Its armor can withstand a few hits, and health is restored over time. Mech form is a larger target, but is immune to terrain damage and restores health faster. The forms also have different special attacks.
Collecting a weapon icon will change weapon to either a wide shot or BIT, a small orbiting satellite that blocks enemy shots and also fires. Collecting an icon will also recharge the special attack stock by one; if the stock is full a special attack will be used automatically.
The game features 6 stages, taking place in various cities throughout the world. There are 3 difficulty levels.
