Description

Dezaemon Plus! is a PlayStation® Classic title that can be played on both the PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) systems. This PS one® Classic allows players to experience one of the most distinctive shooting games inspired by the mid-90s shooter craze, now enhanced with a highly versatile game creation suite.

Game Creation and Customization

The primary feature of Dezaemon Plus! is its robust editing tool that empowers players to create their own shooting games. Users can design custom sprites, levels, boss characters, and original music. The game provides tools to implement standard game development techniques, such as parallax scrolling, as well as the ability to animate and move background objects. This extensive customization allows players to craft unique gameplay experiences from scratch.

Sharing and Sample Games

Players can share their creations with friends, exchanging games and exploring community-made content. The title includes sample games to illustrate the process of game creation, offering examples of design, upgrades, and advanced customization techniques. This feature helps users understand the full potential of the editing tools provided.

Platform Compatibility

Dezaemon Plus! is downloadable and playable on both the PlayStation®3 and PSP® systems. To transfer the game to a PSP® from a PS3™, players must be signed into the PlayStation®Network account that purchased the title, have at least 290 MB of free space on their Memory Stick Duo™, and connect the PSP® to the PS3™ via USB in USB Mode. The game can then be copied from the PS3™ system.

PC Store Customers

Customers who purchased through the PlayStation®Store can log into the same PlayStation®Network account used for the purchase, access their Download List, and download the game directly onto the PS3™ system. The title has been adapted from the original PlayStation® disc to the PS3™ and PSP® systems, meaning certain features may function differently compared to the original disc version.

Limitations and Notes

This version of Dezaemon Plus! does not support PlayStation® peripherals such as controllers, memory cards, or multitap devices. Consequently, functionalities like multiplayer, versus, and co-op modes are not available. The game is a direct import from Japan, and while the text is limited, it remains in the original Japanese language. Assistance for gameplay can be found online at www.monkeypawgames.com.
