Sol Cresta[a] is a vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by PlatinumGames.[1] It is the fifth and final entry in the Cresta series, following the Japan-exclusive 1997 game Terra Cresta 3D for the Sega Saturn[2][3] and the first game in the series to not be developed by Japan-based studio Nichibutsu. The title was released as the first under PlatinumGames' label of "Neo-Classic Arcade" range, a label that refers to the modernization of classic arcade games.[4] It was released for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows in February 2022.[5]
