The title of the game is Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer, a German expression.
Söldner-X is a traditional 2D shoot'em up game with parallax scrolling, 720p high-definition graphics, weather effects and a rich weapon upgrade system.
A sequel has been announced exclusively for PlayStation 3 (as a downloadable game), and it will be released in Q1 2010.
Söldner X2 - Final Prototype follows a similar format to the first game but with a slightly easier difficulty level and more open stages.
A choice of two ships are available from the start, with a third (the ship from the first game) becoming available after certain conditions are met.
