Eschatos

***Eschatos*** (エスカトス *Esukatosu*) is a vertical scrolling shooter developed by Qute Corporation and released on the XBOX 360 in 2011. The Windows port was released by Degica in 2015.

It was later released on 2022 for the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles.

## Story

The game is set in the year 21XX, in which an alien force called Purple Erosion has taken over the Earth's Moon, and using it as their base of operations as they orchestrate their plans to take over Earth next. The player is sent on the FV-30MZ Arcam to eliminate the alien threat.

## Releases

Eschatos was released on the XBOX 360 and PC with different editions.

* ***Ginga Force*** **/ *Eschatos Wonder Pack*:** A bundle where the game was an extra included with *Ginga Force*.
* **A standard release for the console**, but including *Judgement Silversword* and *Cardinal Sins* as "WonderWitch Classics".
* ***Eschatos Wonder Pack*:** A PC exclusive bundle with *Judgement Silversword* and *Eschatos* soundtrack.

On January 6th 2022, Qute released *Eschatos* on the Nintendo Switch for the japanese Nintendo eShop, while the international release was on January 13th. On April 7th, the game was released on the PlayStation 4 & 5, on the wake of *Eschatos*' 11th anniversary. Both Switch and PlayStation versions are based on the XBOX360's "Standard" released which included both *Judgement Silversword* and *Cardinal Sins*.

## Emulation in Xenia

In May 30, 2018, the XBOX360 emulator Xenia was able to emulate *Eschatos* and *Ginga Force*. According to user Sakimotor, *Eschatos* suffers of emulation issues.

* Main menu loads fine but ingame nothing for *Eschatos*, besides the background is being shown. Inputs seem to be counted though (there is a noise when the player clicks the start button)
* WonderWitch Classics work fine, although the first time, the emulator freezes.

In July 8, 2019, user Etokapa reported fixes on the gameplay since he was able to play through 13 areas in both *Eschatos* and the WonderWitch Classics, however, the music can get stuck sometimes.

## Curiosities

* The name comes from the greek word ἔσχατος (éskhatos) which means "Last".
* *Ginga Force* features two weapons based on the Arcam, the "Eschatos Main Weapon" and "Eschatos Sub Shot" and an unlockable color to make the Enforcer slightly look like the Arcam.
* Rising Star Games' localization of *Ginga Force* wrongly calls the Arcam as "Arkham".

Space Elevator

The **Space Elevator** is a stage in both *Ginga Force* and *Natsuki Chronicles*.

## Ginga Force

After getting the information from Specia, Alex and Margaret make an escape to space through the elevator, engaging the Mitsurugi Security Service's forces as they're tagged as rogue soldiers, successfully evading their enemies as they leave Seven Tier's atmosphere.

However they're intercepted by an FG-G21 Garm piloted by Natsuki Sugiura, member of the Rapid Deployment Force and Margaret's best friend. However, the Enforcer's pilots had no choice but to take her down. As they are out of the elevator and heading into space, Margaret feels sorry for Natsuki, but the future of Seven Tier hangs in the balance.

## Natsuki Chronicles

In *Natsuki Chronicles*, the stage is a retake of boss battle with the Garm from *Ginga Force*, but this time is seen from Natsuki's perspective, but it is revealed that Natsuki survived her fall from the space elevator because Specia took control of Garm as she blacked out.

## Curiosities

* In both games, the Space Elevator stage is the 7th level of the game.
* While in *Ginga Force*, the Garm slides down once its been defeated, in *Natsuki Chronicles* it is seen falling off the elevator's wall.
* Another contradiction from *Natsuki Chronicles* can be found in the fact that Garm was shot down entirely rather than being destroyed part by part like in *Ginga Force*.

Edward Brown

**Edward Brown** (エドワード・ブラウン *Edowādo Buraun*), also called **Captain Brown**, (ブラウン隊長 *Buraun Taichō*) is a character from *Ginga Force*.

Unlike most members of the MSS who are Seven Tier natives, Brown is an elite from the 5th Colony, which is something rare for the organization. This condition keeps him away from other divisions.

Prior to the events of *Ginga Force*, Edward was the pilot of the FV-G27 Enforcer along with Margaret, until Alex was assigned to the ship, replacing Brown as its pilot.

Despecia

**Despecia** (ディスペシア *Disupeshia*) is a character from *Ginga Force*.

She is the clone of Specia created by Viridian Taylor to replace the original in order to take control of Seven Tier. She is also the 8th opponent of the game as she takes control of the Gatekeepers near the end of the stage and as the boss fight as well.

Her appearance is almost the same as Specia as she resembles an orange haired girl with the same white and blue bodysuit. However, her wings and halo are of a red-black gradient color and has red eyes.

## Curiosities

* While both Specia and Despecia have a striking resemblance to Arcueid Brunestud from *Tsukihime*, Despecia is more "Arcueid-accurate" with the red eyes.
* If Specia resembles a "technological" angel with the wings and halo, Despecia represents the fallen angel as her halo and wings are of a black and red tone.
* She is the seventh and last female character of the game.
* Manami Uchida also voiced Despecia, but is uncredited.
* She is the lone character of the game who doesn't say "Ginga Force", "Story Mode", "Score Attack" or "Gallery Mode" during the game's loading screen or when any of the mentioned modes is selected.
* While the localization of *Ginga Force* calls her a dummy, the PS4/PC ports of *Natsuki Chronicles* refers her as a counterfeit unit.
Underground

**Underground** is the fourth stage of *Natsuki Chronicles*.

The mission takes place below Central City. The underground pipeline system was hacked by an unknown person after a blackout who took advantage of it to hack the pipeline. Natsuki was sent to investigate and eliminate the hacker if necessary.

Seram Turnwheel

**Seram Turnwheel** is an antagonist from *Ginga Force*. He is the second male character and fourth opponent in the game.

President of Mirror Shield Company, Seram has doubts about the monopoly that Magni Company has and aspires to rival them.

While ostensibly seen as a solid business man, his secret family-run business deals with weapons trafficking. The reason for this is because he has a burning passion to rival the Magni company’s certified SMC company.

He pilots the DD-C173 Killer Moth during his battle with the Enforcer.

Later in the game he's in charge of the Parts Shop in Stages 8 to 10.

Protect the Transport Shuttle!

**Protect the Transport Shuttle!** (輸送シャトルを守れ！*Yusō Shatoru o mamore!* Lit. *Protect the Transport Shuttle!*) is the sixth chapter of *Ginga Force*. The objective of this mission is to escort a Magni Corp. shuttle safely. However, the player will have to face Joan Fuan and his walking mechas before he steals everything in the shuttle.

## Description

### Original

起動エレベーターへ向かう輸送シャトル襲撃を受けている。

シャトルの防衛および犯人の確保を行え。

*Kidō erebētā e mukau yusō shatoru shūgeki o ukete iru.*

*Shatoru no bōei oyobi han'nin no kakuho o okonae*.

*(The transport shuttle to the starting elevator has been attacked. Defend the shuttle and secure the criminal*.*)*

### Translation

*A transport shuttle has been attacked on its way to the startup elevator.*

*Defend the shuttle and stop the attacker*.

## Ranking Conditions

* **Rank S:** Push Fuan's Hercules off the shuttle and clear the stage without missing 4 lives.
* **Rank A-1:** Same as above but clearing the stage missing 4 or more lives.
* **Rank A-2:** Lose the shuttle and clear the mission without losing 4 lives.
* **Rank B:** Lose the shuttle and lose 4 or more lives.
* **Rank D:** Lose all your lives or let the boss escape (Time out).

## Curiosities

* When the shuttle is lost, Nina still says "Ninmu Kanryo desu" (Mission complete) with a smile when she should be upset with Alex and Margaret's failure. This odd situation might imply that a "Failed" cutscene was intended to be included but it was probably scrapped.
* It is the only mission where getting a Rank C is impossible since there's only a single secondary objective.

Stop the Rampage!

**Stop the Rampage!** (暴走を止める！*Bōsō o tomeru!* lit. *Stop the Haywire!*) is the fifth chapter of *Ginga Force*.

The mission takes place on the Septonium Mine 6 where all the mining mechas went out of control. Suspecting that Genzo Shigeta, a man obssesed with his work might be the responsible of the haywire, the objective is to apprehend him.

Viridian Taylor

**Viridian Taylor** (ビリジアン *Birijian*), also called **Director Viridian** is the main antagonist of *Ginga Force*.

He is the ninth and tenth opponent of the game. He is the Director of the Magnificence Energy Corporation, and all of his power is based on the Septonium explotation, even if that means endangering the citizens of Seven Tier and the planet itself for the sake of his personal and selfish desires.

He isolated Specia in a space elevator and replaced her with his dummy Despecia.

### Known subordinates

* Despecia (Space Elevator 9 Security System)
* Commander Maroon (Rapid Deployment Force)

Turning Point

**Turning Point** is an event from *Natsuki Chronicles*.

It takes place at the end of the battle with Garm in *Ginga Force*, where Natsuki Sugiura was shot down, but seen from her perspective. While the Enforcer escapes from the space elevator, Margarette feels sorry for her friend. Once the screen fades to black, Natsuki asks to herself why things had to end up like that.

When the Enforcer escape cutscene is played at the end of stage 7, Natsuki's dialogue is slightly extended.

## Transcript

* XBOX One
* PlayStation 4 & PC

Septonium

**Septonium** (セプトニウム *Seputoniumu*) is an energy resource from *Ginga Force*.

Is a high-energy ore discovered in Seven Tier and is expected to lead the next generation of energy.

Scientists estimate that the planet is capable of producing an endless supply of energy, as Septonium makes up the majority of Seven Tier all the way down to the planet's mantle.

While the benefits of Septonium energy are virtually infinite, it also had negative reactions. From poisoning the human body to the potential to destroy Seven Tier if it falls on the wrong hands.

## Septonium Energy Development

Seven Tier became energy-independent thanks to the power generated using Septonium.

Magni Corp.'s next goal is to provide energy to other planets. Construction on the necessary facilities is ongoing and is nearing 70% completion.

These facilities consist of a large plant that will extract energy from the Septonium in the planet's crust, and a giant anntena located in orbit that will be used to send the Septonium energy to its interstellar destinations.

## Curiosities

* The 2020 game *Project Wingman* features an element called Cordium which shares a parallelism with the Septonium as both elements are capable of producing vast amounts of energy and are capable of destroying the world.

Yukino Umesato

**Yukino Umesato** ( 梅里 ゆきの *Umesato Yukino*) also known as "**ykn**" and "**yknumst**", is a digital artist who uploads his works at Pixiv and Twitter.

FV-G27 Enforcer

The **FV-G27 Enforcer** (エンフォーサー *Enfōsā*) is a vehicle from *Ginga Force*.

The Enforcer is utilized by Mitsurugi Security Service as the multirole police vehicle for Defense purposes.

## Ginga Force

In *Ginga Force*, the Enforcer is the player's main ship equipped with basic weaponry for its initial deploy. As a multirole vehicle, it is highly customizable as the player can buy and equip different Main Weapons, Subweapons, Special Weapons and even Engines to adjust the ship's speed.

While the Enforcer is utilized by all the security forces of the MSS on Seven Tier, the player takes control of the ship piloted by Alex Heatburn and Margaret Whitetail, call signed "**Hound 1**" (ハウンド1 *Haundo Uan*).

In Chapter 7 the FV-G27 becomes the recurrent enemy due to the pilots defiance against MSS commands. However, the enemy Enforcers are equipped with a configuration that resembles a mixed design of the Eschatos Sub Shot in black color and the Mitsurugi Sword's wings which is unavailable for the player. Apparently, they are equipped with the Uni-Engine Dragon Wing, granting them amazing speeds.

## Natsuki Chronicles

In *Natsuki Chronicles*, the Enforcer once again takes the role of antagonist in Stage 7 as the player takes control of Natsuki's Garm in an attempt to capture the ship. While any attack to the ship is negated by the Enforcer's shield, the stage objective is to keep the Capture Progress bar from falling off. As a "boss", the Enforcer can use several different weapons at once.

* It's surname, Heatburn, might be a reference to his hot-headed attitude and constant yelling.
* "よぅしゃ" is basically Alex's trademark exclamation since he uses it constantly throughout the game.
* For a random exclamation, the localization of *Ginga Force* gives it multiple meanings such as "Alright", "Woo Hoo", "Got it".
* Daiki Abe, who've voiced Alex, also voiced Captain Brown.
Mission Failed

Unlike most shooters where losing all your lives leads to a Game Over, in both *Ginga Force* and *Natsuki Chronicles*, losing all your lives **will end the selected mission in failure**, this will also lead to a Rank D, the lowest of the player evaluation regardless if he/she cleared the sub-objectives prior to the boss fight or not.

However, the player is allowed to keep the obtained CR from the stage so he/she can have a chance of buying a better weapon. The player is given the chance of saving his/her replay and is granted a hint to improve on its playing skills.

Failing missions will affect the Play Count of the selected stage (Ex 1(4) = 1 clear after 4 tries).

### Causes of a Mission Failure

* Losing all your lives (or all your shield points in *Natsuki Chronicles* case).
* Time runs out during boss fights.

## Curiosities

* The stamped "任務失敗" spells "Ninmu Shippai" which means "Mission Failure".
Security Force

In the universe of *Ginga Force*, the **Security Force** (特殊部隊 *Tokushubutai*, lit. *Special Forces*) is one of the divisions of Mitsurugi Security Service.

### Known Members

* Alex Heatburn (Pilot)
* Margaret Whitetail (Co-pilot)
* Edward Brown (Captain)
* Nina Lynn (Operator)

## Curiosities

* Rising Star Games localization of *Ginga Force* calls it "Special Force".
Rapid Deployment Force

The **Rapid Deployment Force** (即応連隊 *Sokuorentai* lit. *Immediate Response Regiment*), also called **RDF** (アルディエフ *Arudiefu*) is an organization from *Ginga Force* and *Natsuki Chronicles*. This is the elite division of Mitsurugi Security Service and like the MSS they respond to Magni Corp.

## RDF in Ginga Force

The RDF has a very short appearance on *Ginga Force* right after Chapter 7, when the player fights an FG-G21 Garm piloted by Natsuki Sugiura, after the battle, the player will engage the RDF forces in Seven Tier's orbit throughout Chapter 8.

## RDF in Natsuki Chronicles

In *Natsuki Chronicles*, the RDF plays a major role in the game. The player assumes the role of Natsuki Sugiura from her first mission 3 years before the events of *Ginga Force*, along with flashbacks during the MSS Induction Class where Natsuki met Margaret for the first time and train together. Throughout the game the missions narrate Natsuki's missions up to the failed attempt to capture the Enforcer codenamed "Hound 1" and what happened right after the battle.

### Known members

* Natsuki Sugiura (Pilot)
* Commander Maroon (Commander)
* RDF Navi (Navigation System)

### Vehicles utilized

* FV-A30 Dominator (Defense / Attack Vehicle)
* FG-G21 Garm (Defense / Heavy Vehicle)
* DD-C174 Killer Moth "Space Variant" (General Work Vehicle)
* CU-A23 Brionac (Attack Vehicle)

## Trivia

* Rising Star Games translation of *Ginga Force* calls it "**Rapid Response Regiment**". This mistranslation error was repeated not twice, but THRICE, as RSG called them "**Rapid Defence Force**" on both their Twitter account and the PlayStation Blog article.
* The initials RDF share a coincidence with the Robotech Defense Force from *Robotech*.
Memory 2

**Memory 2** **"Practical Training"** is an event from *Natsuki Chronicles*.

Like the previous Memory segment, it takes place 4 years before *Ginga Force* and *Natsuki Chronicles*. Continuing where Memory 1 left off, Margaret is surprised with Natsuki's scores in combat training, realizing she has incredible piloting skills. As they prepare for the next mission, Margaret thinks it's going to be "easy-peasy", but Natsuki tells her she won't know until the mission starts.

This is where the second Training stage takes place.

Magenta

**Magenta** (マゼンタ *Mazenta*) is a character from *Natsuki Chronicles*. She is the second female antagonist and fourth opponent in the game.

She used the blackout on the Underground Core Network to hack it in order to save the slums lifeline and the poor children living there, setting traps to halt Magni Corp. and the RDF forces, only to be destroyed by Natsuki.

## Curiosities

* Magenta is a color that is variously defined as purplish-red, reddish-purple or mauvish-crimson. On color wheels of the RGB and CMYK color models, it is located midway between red and blue.
* She is the second character of the game named after a color.
* Like Tini Memoril, Magenta wears a sleeveless red shirt with a yellow tie. Other similarity with Tini is that both girls have expertise at hacking networks.
* Unlike the other antagonists, Magenta is the only one who escapes from being killed because the control core was an unmanned vehicle hacked by her.
* It is possible that Magenta was among Tini's hacker friends who uploaded the truth about Septonium during the events of Chapter 8 and who've brought the rumors of the fake Specia during Chapter 2.
Specia Joins the Fight

**Specia Joins the Fight** (スペシア共同戦線 *Supeshia Kyōdō Sensen* lit. *Specia's Joint Front*) is the eighth chapter of *Ginga Force*.

The stage continues where the previous chapter left off. After escaping the space elevator, Alex and Margaret are heading to te coordinates given by Specia, only to land on Fuan's personal shuttle where, together with Seram and Tini will join forces to stop Viridian from destroying Seven Tier. But the Rapid Deployment Force has been deployed across the planet since the truth about Septonium was leaked by Tini's hacker friends.

However, Viridian has one more trick under the sleeve: The fake Specia known as Despecia who controls the Gatekeepers.

## Description

Kat Kit

**Kat Kit** is a fictional product from the universe of *Ginga Force*.

As its name and logo are a reference to Nestle's Kit Kat, it is very possible that Kat Kit is a chocolate-covered wafer bar confection produced on Seven Tier.

Kat Kit advertising signs can be found on Chapter 1 as the Enforcer flies through Central Avenue on Central City.

FG-G21 Garm

The **FG-G21 Garm** (ガルム *Garumu*) is a Heavy Vehicle from *Ginga Force* and *Natsuki Chronicles*.

It is used by Mitsurugi Security Service and the Rapid Deployment Force as a special vehicle to capture both criminal and military ships.

While Garms are mass produced, pilots require training, obtain the "Heavy Vehicle License" and later permission from the RDF to operate them when the situation requires its use.

Like the Enforcer, Garm is considered a defense vehicle for the MSS.

## Garm in Ginga Force

"*Just what you'd expect from a Golem... they're capture ships that are often used for military purposes, too.*"

- Margaret Whitetail.

In *Ginga Force*, the player engages a Garm piloted by Natsuki Sugiura at the end of Stage 7. Like the other bosses of the game, the player can decide if he/she wants to destroy it part by part or attack the main weakpoint of the vehicle. Like the rest of the previous bosses, the defeated Garm falls off the space elevator wall to its apparent destruction.

In the Rising Star Games' release of the game, the vehicle is called "**Golem**" which in katakana is "ゴーレム" (*Gōremu*).

## Garm in Natsuki Chronicles

In *Natsuki Chronicles*, the player takes control of Natsuki's Garm. This time, the vehicle cannot be destroyed by parts and uses 10 additional Extra Shields on its initial configuration, bonus 15 Ex. Shields can be added as the player levels up on the Stage Study Level. After the battle on the space elevator, it is revealed that Specia took control of the Garm when Natsuki lost her consciousness, making an emergency landing on the base of the space elevator, which worked as a perfect hideout.

Like in the localization of *Ginga Force*, the Rising Star Games version of *Natsuki Chronicles* also calls it "Golem".

## Curiosities

* For a vehicle tagged as an aircraft, Garm's appearance resembles more of a futuristic car than a plane.
* Garm's color scheme and detailing in *Natsuki Chronicles* differs from its *Ginga Force* counterpart.
Judgement Silversword

***Judgement Silversword*** (ジャッジメント シルバーソード *Jajjimento Shirubāsōdo*) is a vertical scroll shooter developed by Qute for the Bandai WonderSwan Color.

## Development

*Judgement Silversword* was created by independent Japanese designer "M-KAI". It was programmed using the WonderWitch, a software development kit produced by Qute that allowed consumers to produce homebrew software for the WonderSwan hardware family using C+ language. To promote the kit's release, Qute held a contest where programmers had to use it to make a game for the system, the winners having their games published as official releases. *Judgement Silversword* was one of the winning games, alongside M-KAI's sister project *Cardinal Sins*, both of which Qute published in Japan.

M-KAI released *Judgement Silversword* as a freeware demo on his personal website in 2001. The retail version was released by Qute on February 2, 2004 with the subtitle *Rebirth Edition* - due to Bandai discontinuing the WonderSwan family a year prior, Qute produced a limited print run of 500 copies, making it one of the rarest WonderSwan games released and commanding high prices in the second hand market.

The 2011 Xbox 360 game *Eschatos* includes both *Judgement Silversword* and *Cardinal Sins* as extras. The original was digitally re-released for Windows via Steam in 2015, under the title *Judgement Silversword - Resurrection*.

## Curiosities

* *Judgement Silversword'*s development lasted a month and a half.
* The game is believed to be inspired by Treasure's 1998 arcade game *Radiant Silvergun*, The name and logo style are very similar.
* The logo styles of Judgement Force Tiger and Dragon from *Ginga Force* are based on *Silversword*'s logo.

Son vulnerables a la plata y tienden a evitarla. Si bien son resistentes al sol, su piel toma un color negro cuando se ven demasiado afectadas por este.
