Engage the Red Lanpherean Empire with your bullet absorbing shield... but be aware:
💥 you're extra vulnerable when your shield expires
💥 lasers reduce your shield's duration

It's been out on PC for a couple years now, but if you haven't already played Schildmaid you should absolutely check it out. It has the rare magic of an extremely low and approachable skill floor and a ridiculously high and expressive skill ceiling. I love it.
This November 26, our #shmup #SchildmaidMX is out on #NintendoSwitch, #PlayStation4, #PlayStation5 and #Xbox Series X|S, in collab with eastasiasoft.
It's an all new version, with 2 additional EX modes, balance tweaks & more improvements.
