Illvelo Swamp Happy Together announced for Switch

Today, publisher Mebius and developer RS34 announced the new Switch title Illvelo Swamp Happy Together. A release is planned for the latter half of 2024 in Japan.

Illvelo Swamp Happy Together is based on Illvelo Swamp (Illmatic Envelop Swamp). This is the first “alternate version” of an RS34 shoot ’em up game.

Here’s an overview of changes that are in the works, courtesy of Gematsu:

• Not Just Difficulty and Score System Changes – System-wise, the game has been made easier to play and changed to a stage-based format. Stages ranging from easy (that beginners playing for the first time can clear) to highly difficult are being implemented.
• Player Ship System Revamp – The new player ship can switch between attack (doll) attributes. With four attributes and four attacks, you can deploy a wide variety of attacks. RS34’s specialty ultra firepower ship remains alive and well.
• Story Mode – According to an RS34 survey, many players wanted to know the story of Illvelo Swamp, so a Story Mode has been added. The story of Illvello, which is being told properly for the first time, will unfold starting with typical dialogue scenes, and continues even throughout shoot ’em up segments. By meeting specific conditions as you play, the difficulty level of Story Mode will change, so it can be enjoyed with a variety of play styles.

We have the first trailer for Illvelo Swamp Happy Together below.
