As exhibited at Tokyo Game Show in 2024 and as part of our brand showcase in 2025, Schildmaid MX is a retro shmup inspired by genre classics, combining nostalgic pixel art presentation with innovative shield mechanics that put an intense new spin on the bullet hell action. Players must strategically run into projectiles to power their starfighter’s special weaponry and turn their enemies’ firepower back against them, requiring quick thinking and clever juggling of defense versus offense. Industry veterans had a chance to play the game at Tokyo Game Show and praised Schildmaid MX for its presentation, unique gameplay mechanics and overall intelligent design.
