Evaluation
The publisher Nyu Media announced its closure in June 2022, with plans to transfer publishing of eXceed 2nd - Vampire REX to its original developer, Upgrade. However, a follow-up announcement on December 22, 2022 confirmed that the developer had gone silent and could not be reached to complete the handover. As a result, Nyu Media announced the entire eXceed series would be delisted from Steam on January 6, 2023. The game's current store data confirms it is no longer purchasable, consistent with that delisting having taken place. There is no indication from any official source that the game has returned to sale or that the developer has re-emerged to resume publishing.
Evidence
Nyu Media announced the eXceed series would be delisted from Steam on January 6, 2023, because the developer dropped out of contact and could not take over publishing.
The game has no purchase options available, confirming it has been removed from sale on Steam.

About this game
The human powers-that-be called for the purification of mankind and the eradication of vampires and ‘deviants bloodlines’ - those born of a mix of human and vampire. And so began massive purges of the deviants that were reminiscent of the 'witch hunts' of centuries earlier. Leading the genocide was the exorcist corps the 'Gun Bullet Children'.
As the overwhelmingly large human armies began to obliterate every vampire and deviant community across the world, the opposing deviant armies sought to gather allies and rally back. Ria File is a half-human, half-vampire girl fighting on the side of the deviants as they embark upon a turnaround strategy, the 'Siege on the Holy Land'. Their plan: to lay siege upon the humans’ 'Holy Land' and to destroy the Holy Lady Anhel who was the source of the human military power. This is a battle in which defeat is an option for neither army.
Featuring an addictive dual-polarity gameplay system, this amazing vertical shmup is sure to please any shooter fan. The polarity and color of your character can be changed to absorb enemy bullets of the same polarity while charging the special weapon in the process and doing double damage to enemies of the opposite polarity. Every bullet absorbed charges your special weapon for total destruction. With awesome music, beautiful art, and challenging stages, this game that put the eXceed series on the map and has everything you would want from a shmup.
