I did buy the digital download for Alltynex, but that box-set looks pretty sweet...

Meanwhile, I was looking for info on Yatagarasu, and came across this Guardian article from a couple of months ago:

Satazius and Gigantic Army are some of my favorite games ever, doujin or not, so I'm really looking forward to this one. Some of Steel Strider's screenshots hint that you're playing on the opposite side of Gigantic Army's protagonist this time, that could be pretty cool.
