New Features Include:
- Additional ships and content
- Adjust the balance of all ships, stages, and bonuses
- Add text content
- Add Manual
- New Archives feature with additional lore!
- Significant changes to Stage 4-B and Stage 5-C
- Many minor brushed up details and UI

In addition to this, with so many stage changes, we were asked if there would still be a way to play any of the older stages as well. We've decided to keep the last version as a launch option here so please enjoy!

Dear Everyone,

We'd first like to thank all of HEY's fans for supporting them over these years. We are pleased to announce the release of Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo 2.0 coming out November 3rd! We've put a lot of work into polishing this release for both PC and Console release. To be quite honest it was a lot more work and unfortunately took a lot longer than expected.

The original Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo release on PC came out over 6 years ago now. Unfortunately with these additional development costs being more than expected, we have decided to raise the price point of the PC version to match our console releases.

To be completely clear, this change will only affect future purchases. That said, everyone who already owns the game will be getting all of these new updates for FREE! So more than likely if you are reading this there's no need to worry. Until then of course feel free to spread the word to all your friends! We really hope you will enjoy a lot of the new changes/fixes/updates on which we consider the "definitive" (at least latest) edition of Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo!

Sincerely,
Hanaji Games

"This is the creator of Mecha Ritz:Steel Rondo, Yuki Shouhei, but you can just call me HEY if you want. I'm pleased to finally release this title to the whole world. It's all thanks to the help of Hanaji Games and their creative staff, as well as the support of our enthusiastic fans and friends. I am truly, truly grateful to all of you.

I was responsible for producing the graphics, sound, text, and programming for this release. Now that the game is released, I thought I would share a few of my own thoughts.

My goal with this project was to "Spread the fun of shoot 'em ups". In order to do that, I tried to create a game that would appeal to the widest audience possible, regardless or skill or experience. One of my solutions to cater to the needs of more skilled players was to implement a ranking system. Of course, I didn't stop there. I tried to sneak in elements that would get everyone's heart racing. Shoot 'em ups are incredibly easy to grasp. "You aim, you shoot". It's about as primitive as you can get. Even nowadays, I feel confident that its appeal has not yet waned, and everyone can find enjoyment out of it. And even though I'm the creator, I think there are limitless ways in which to present such games.

For this game, I will be happy if it contributes even a little bit to the shoot 'em up genre. I pray for the shoot 'em up genre to continue to grow and become more and more varied. Of course, I happen to be exceptionally passionate about the genre, so I intend to devote myself to more games in the future. Going forward I, Yuki Shouhei, will continue to create, with even more original concepts, so please look forward to that.

I know this comes a bit late, but I look forward to hearing from you."
