Vritra Hexa is a "Director's Cut" version of the game Vritra that was released to PC previously. It is only available in arcades for the exA-Arcadia platform and features numerous additions including new stages, enemies, boss fights, weapons, and a 2-player mode.

It plays much like Dariusburst in being a sidescrolling shoot 'em up with many alien creatures, some of which resemble sea life; It also uses a tree branching level select system like Darius games do.

One difference is that users can change the speed with which they move around the screen with the press of a button, a feature reminiscent of the classic PARSEC on the TI 99/4a.

Power-ups are also different - you pick which ones you'll have access to in stages, and they have special strong attack abilities. Some, like the Black Vajra, are for more advanced players, but once you get the hang of it, you can land some pretty high scores.

In CARAVAN Mode, players are challenged to get the highest score possible within the set amount of time. You can only pick one power-up and the leaderboards are tied to that particular selection.

Users can pick which soundtrack they want when beginning, either the original or the newly Arranged version, which was specially crafted for this game by Fumhito Uekusa.

At the end of each play, regardless the mode you pick, one can scan a QR code to register and share your score to the worldwide leaderboards. Operator locations can setup their location so that the location where the score was achieved is known.
