A vertical shooter set in a steam-powered 19th-century Europe
The briefing
Ibara Kuro Black Label is a vertical shooter set in the 19th century, shortly after the development of the steam engine. In the Northern European nation of Edelweiss, rapid mechanical-industry growth is threatened by Professor Teresa Rose and her Rose Garden forces.
From a fortress resembling a jagged mountain of knives, the Rose Garden launches a devastating assault. In response, the Emperor orders the Special Imperial Attack Unit known as the Negotiators to deploy their ships and destroy the threat.
