Sure, here’s a rewritten version:

Alright, so let’s talk about something that’s been buzzing around my mind lately: a little game called Exo-Calibre on the PS5. It’s brought to us by eastasiasoft and Vampixel—yep, you guessed it, they’re going for that good old-school 2D shoot ’em up vibe. Gotta say, there’s some nostalgia in there for sure. Anyway, where was I? Oh, right—you get to be one of these super cool Exo-Knights. There are three of them, each with their own flavor. They pilot these high-tech exo-mechs to keep the world safe from some wayward AI drones. Classic drama, but who’s complaining?
Now, I’m not entirely sure if I got distracted, but there are these modes: Story, Arcade, Boss Rush, and Time Rush. Story Mode? Unlimited lives—sounds like my kind of pace. Arcade, though, it’s less forgiving. More intense? Maybe, but I’m all for it. Boss Rush is just pure adrenaline; those bosses can be a handful. And Time Rush? I imagine it’s like trying to beat your friend at Mario Kart, except you’re fighting for your life.
Scraps. Collect them. Seriously, it’s like the game’s currency of sorts. Shoot them, break them into pieces—don’t ask why that’s satisfying. You use these scraps between levels to beef up your knight. Make ‘em tougher, faster, or just plain cooler. Want extra lives? You got it. Or maybe more HP? Go for it. Just avoid those rookie mistakes—like crashing into things because I’m usually multitasking… and failing.
Now, about controls. Simple stuff, really. Left stick, D-Pad for movement. Look out! Enemies everywhere, so keep hammering R2. Get too close, bam! Square button for melee fun. L2 for boosting—because who doesn’t love going fast to avoid disaster? Oh yeah, and melee attacks reflecting projectiles is just plain awesome. Not that I always pull it off, but when I do, it’s sweet.
And those trophies, man. Platinum shiny things. It’s cross-buy too! So whether you’re on PS4 or PS5, you’re all set. Trophy list has you tackling bosses, gathering scraps, and pulling off those sweet moves. Maybe you’ll even boost through a crowd or deflect a hundred bullets. Okay, that’s a lot.
There it is, Exo-Calibre on PlayStation 5. It’s kind of this chaotic old-school experience that pokes at my inner child—definitely something to check out. Oh, and it’s just $6.99 for both PS4 and PS5 versions. So go ahead, suit up, and see if you can beat my high score. Or not. No pressure.
Disclaimer though: I did play this on a PS5 copy from eastasiasoft—thanks for that, guys!
