Mark your calendars for March 7th, 2025, as Kamikaze Lassplanes, a unique blend of Visual Novel and Shoot ’em Up, makes its debut on Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders are now open, giving players a chance to secure their copy ahead of the release. Published by the seasoned indie console publisher Crunching Koalas, this game promises a captivating experience.
Kamikaze Lassplanes, developed by Inky Dreams, is a genre-defying action visual novel that combines hand-drawn anime visuals with story-driven arcade shoot-’em-up gameplay. Players will navigate through crucial story-branching decisions that influence the outcomes of war, romance, and the fate of the protagonists.
In this game, you’ll meet Alba Trossé and Hannah Brandenburg, charismatic Lassplanes who transform into deadly warplanes. Together, you’ll face the Imperial fleet in challenging shoot-’em-up encounters and uncover the secrets behind the mysterious “Light” technology developed in the Kingdom’s laboratories.
Beneath its whimsical exterior, Kamikaze Lassplanes offers a dark and engaging narrative that explores humanity in a world where every rose has its thorn, and every tool can become a weapon. As you uncover the truth, your beliefs will be challenged, and you may even pay the ultimate price.
The game has already garnered positive feedback from PC players and captured the hearts of attendees at GDC 2024 in San Francisco.
For those looking to dive into this world, keep an eye out for deals during the upcoming Visual Novel Fest on Steam, where the game’s price is expected to drop.
Kamikaze Lassplanes will be available on the Nintendo Switch Store in both North America and Europe, as well as on Steam. For more information, visit the game’s Steam store page.
