We reported last year that Luftrausers would be coming to the PS3, Vita, PC, Mac and Linux sometime this spring. It has since been confirmed the game will be available on March 18, 2014. You can pre-order the game on Steam for $8.99. Our very own Josh Speer had a chance to play the game at PAX this year. He was digging the music, and retro art style. Though he found it insanely difficult, there were a lot of control options and he thinks Luftrausers could be a “very compelling game” for shmup fans.
LUFTRAUSERS will release simultaneously on PS3 / PS Vita / PC / Mac / Linux!
