ININ Games has announced that it plans to release the side-scrolling shoot-em-up Cotton Reboot! in the first quarter of 2021. The publisher plans to release the game both digitally and physically on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
Cotton Reboot is an updated and remastered version of the classic and iconic title Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams. The remaster will not come with new features and updated visual designs. In addition, there are three different game modes that include the X68000 original mode that will emulate Sharp’s personal computer from the 1993 version. The Score Attack mode will have you compete for the high score online within a limited time.
In Cotton Reboot, you take the role of a young witch called Nata de Cotton, who is a hot-headed, immature, overreacts and rides on a broomstick, accompanied by a fairy named Silk. Cotton is crazy about candies called “Willows”. Those candies are so good that she won’t let anything get in her way to get them.
Cotton is armed with a lot of explosive power which she will use on cunning enemies that confront her. Embark on Cotton’s journey through the game’s seven amazing colorful stages with the hope that she will be rewarded at the end. As you move through a graveyard with wormed eyeballs or through a forest with trees that are part human form, eyes and mouth, hails of bullets and triple lazer fire from Cotton’s latest weapon resource that can be swapped and changed throughout as an endless onslaught of enemies fill the screen with their own arsenal of power. Avoid and maneuvering becomes as important as straight shooting.
When the game does release next year, it will come in a standard edition along with the Limited Editions of Cotton Reboot! If you are wondering where you can secure a Cotton Reboot! Limited Edition, pre-orders for the game start next month, while the orders for the standard edition will follow soon after.
