Limited Run Games today detailed its plans for the western physical release of Omega 6: The Triangle Stars – the new game from former Nintendo artist Takaya Imamura.

Three different versions are planned. Fans can choose between a standard copy, Deluxe Edition, and Signature Edition. The Deluxe Edition contains an art book, soundtrack CD, trading cards, and a double-sided poster. The Signature Edition includes a signed card by Imamura, a prologue comic, iron-on patches, and more, all inside a special box.

A ton of information about the game can be found in the following overview:

From the pen of former Nintendo art director turned manga artist, Takaya Imamura, and developers of the Retro Mystery Club series, Happymeal, comes a 16-bit styled retro-future, adventure, infused with RPG elements: Omega 6: The Triangle Stars.

Follow the adventures of Thunder and Kyla on their spaceship, Omega 6: two androids entrusted with discovering a new planet for the human race to inhabit. But before they find mankind’s new home, they must locate the ultimate treasure in some ancient ruins to pay off… a planetary loan?! Their quest will take them to three different planets, the first planet is Impostar, a planet filled with aliens from all four corners of space. The second planet is Igni, a fiery planet with a harsh environment. The third planet is Froslara, a planet as frozen as its residents are rich.

And on every planet, new encounters and incidents await!

Over 100 aliens! An adventure combo-meal of mystery & drama!

During your treasure hunt, unexpected encounters await at every turn via random events. You can explore freely while working as a bounty hunter, delivery person, or just shopping for items: how to play is up to you. For the completionists, there’s a gallery to record all the intergalactic rogues you meet, sub-missions, and training where you can battle powerful opponents! Contrary to its name, space is very full!

Treasure attracts trouble, leading to card-based battles with anyone from rival treasure hunters to unknown aliens lurking about. With a set number of cards in your hand, read through your opponent’s strategy and forge a path to absolute victory! Inside your spaceship is a bonsai that bears fruits. Use them to boost your abilities or switch your opponent’s hand with yours. This bonsai also bears Magic Fruits, which will hold tremendous powers, but use them at your own risk!

Key Features

• Imagined and illustrated by the legendary Takaya Imamura!
• Soundtrack by industry veteran Shinobu Amayake!
• Battle system mixes rock-paper-scissors with cards!
• Grow your own space-bonsai with ability-boosting fruit!
