This title is a tactical battle game that combines the tension of gunfights with the strategic depth of card games, set in the hard sci-fi world of the original “Hard Edge.” Players form teams of four, utilizing a hand of cards to achieve victory. The trial version allows players to engage in AI battles and mission modes for a limited time.

“ROUTE16R” is a completely new installment in the “ROUTE16” series, originally released in the 1980s. As with previous titles, the objective is to collect all the money on the stage while evading enemy vehicles and monsters. The game features a dynamic switch between “Maze Mode,” where players navigate mazes filled with various items and gimmicks, and “Radar Mode,” which provides an overhead view of the entire 16-maze stage. This offers a simple yet consistently thrilling car chase action experience.
