Sometime in the future, cellphones have become more ubiquitous than they are today. Wireless waves travel through the air to deliver email, bulletins, and other useful information. Against this backdrop, the mechs of Rajirugi take to the air, receive information, and battle enemies with powerful weaponry. In the game, players control a little whimsical mecha which looks like a Twinbee at first glom but with different skill sets. Three mechs are available including one which blasts with a vulcan shot, another which fires lasers, and another which makes do with bubble shots. The mechs also carry a sword in their right gauntlets which is swished like a windshield wiper to block enemy shots. A concentric barrier may also be activated to absorb shots and grate enemies within its range.

Controls
D-pad or Joystick for movement
A button: Shoot main weapon
B button: Swish sword-antenna
C button: Activate barrier

Foregoing the polygons and bitmaps of traditional shooters, Milestone takes a lighter touch with Rajirugi where the graphics consist of clean and crisp line art with simple colors and designs. Everything is drawn in the same style from the quaint ships to the big bosses to the puffy explosions. Even the shots from enemies are colorful blobs that spray throughout the screen.

Rajirugi Tidbits
A total quantity of 4000 units of DC Rajirugi was produced for the market. As mentioned in an earlier update, Gamecube and PS2 versions of Rajirugi are currently in development at Milestone and NCS will start preorders once we get the green light.
