Evaluation
Elite Exorcist Miko is a bullet hell shoot 'em up currently in Early Access, actively being developed by solo developer tian nya. The game launched on December 25, 2024 and has received a consistent stream of updates since then.
Three major content updates have shipped during Early Access: the Makai Stage (May 31, 2025, adding Stage 3B with 4 new bosses), a new Extra Stage featuring Hoshimachi Suisei Alter (August 21, 2025), and the holoX Stage (May 7, 2026, adding Stage 3C with 5 new bosses). These have been accompanied by numerous quality-of-life patches and bug fixes throughout.
The developer's most recent post, dated June 28, 2026, is a progress report confirming that work on the next major update — the **Oceanic Stage** — is underway. Equipment for the update is already complete (14 new items), and a new feature called Equipment Sets has been implemented. Stage art, enemies, music, boss art, and boss battles remain in progress. The developer has not provided a release date estimate, noting this will likely be the biggest content update yet.
In a January 2026 development update, the developer was transparent about the scale of remaining work, noting that a full 1.0 release will not happen within 2026 as originally estimated. Despite that delay, development has continued at a steady pace, with the holoX Stage shipping roughly four months later and the next update already in active progress.
The Oceanic Stage is confirmed to include 4 main bosses and 1 extra boss, and the developer has signaled interest in adding further gameplay systems (skill-based bonuses, new game modes, and more) as part of future updates. The game is clearly mid-development with significant content still to come before it reaches its 1.0 release.
Evidence
