Grand Cross Renovation

About

Grand Cross Renovation is a vertical scrolling shooter where you wield a solar-powered sword to tear through waves of enemies. The action is fast and unrelenting as you blast downward through levels, using the Sun Blade’s glowing arcs to cut through waves of foes. Upgrades let you tweak your approach between raw火力 and flashy special moves, but the core loop is simple: dodge, slash, and repeat. The game’s difficulty scales sharply, demanding precise timing and quick reflexes to survive the later stages. The Sun Blade itself is the star, with its vibrant effects and satisfying punch in every swing. Community feedback highlights the game’s tight controls and the thrill of pulling off combo-heavy runs, though some note the learning curve might frustrate newcomers. Released in 2022 by Henteko Doujin, it’s a polished homage to classic shmups with a modern edge, packed into a single-player campaign that’s short but sharp.
