Aqua Ippan

About

Aqua Ippan drops you into a shooter platformer that feels straight out of the 90s arcade scene. You control divers Itou or Yena who stole an artifact from a lake and are now being chased by the Vigilanti group. The game supports single player, multiplayer, and co-op modes so you can team up with a friend to blast through stages. Artwork and animations pay close attention to detail while jazz-fusion music keeps the energy high throughout the run. What really stands out is how it captures that specific Metal Slug vibe without feeling like a cheap copy. The developers at Division 6 built this with modern tech but kept the tight controls old school players expect. Community feedback suggests the co-op experience feels natural rather than forced, which is rare for these types of games. If you are looking for something that respects the source material while adding fresh mechanics, this title delivers exactly that without trying too hard to reinvent the wheel.

Storyline

After retrieving an artifact buried at the bottom of a lake, student divers Itou and Yena find themselves being hunted by a local armed group called 'Vigilanti' looking to steal their treasure. Now the pair must escape the region and bring their artifact back to their school!
