The Dreamcast is getting another shmup! This one is called Sturmwind, published by the mighty redspotgames and it’s powered by a hybrid 2D/3D engine. The game was announced on the German program ‘neues’ and the full interview with redspotgames’s Max Scharl can be viewed here (be warned, entirely in German):

Here’s the game’s feature list:

* 16 levels
* 3 selectable difficulty levels
* configurable controls
* adjustable screen position
* varied choice of weapons
* More than 20 large boss enemies
* Hundreds of different enemies
* FMV intro sequence
* Hybrid 2d/3d game engine
* Resolution of 640×480 pixels
* PAL50, PAL60, NTSC and VGA (with Adapter) compatible
* Region free
* Works with any MIL-CD compatible Dreamcast
* CDDA Sound
* Supports: Gamepad, Arcade Stick (Analog/Digital), VMU, Rumble Pack (configurable)
* Internet WEBcode Hiscore Tables

It’s all looking pretty tasty, isn’t it? We love a good shmup here at SEGADriven and the Dreamcast hasn’t failed to disappoint in this area. Sturmwind is available to pre-order now from the redspotgames shop for €34.95.
