Vixen 357 Sega Genesis SRPG Announced for Steam Release

Developer Extreme and publisher Shinyuden have announced that the 1992 mecha strategy RPG Vixen 357 will receive a digital release on Steam later this year. Originally developed by NCS brand Masaya Games, the title is now being ported to modern hardware with full English support, making it accessible without requiring original Sega Genesis consoles.

The game features turn-based tactical combat on grid-based maps, utilizing perma-death mechanics where fallen units are permanently lost unless players reload saves. It follows the Slash unit, a group of mech pilots defending their base in the 24th century against unknown enemies. The Steam version includes quality-of-life enhancements such as save states, rewind functionality, turbo speed options, built-in cheats, and CRT screen filters.

This announcement follows a cancelled 2019 physical English cartridge project by Super Fighter Team. While limited physical copies remain available through Shinyuden, the digital edition aims to preserve the classic experience for contemporary audiences.
