Start date is non-specific. What a great game, Vanillaware is just one of the best developers out there. They simply do not miss. I don't even love this sort of gameplay but the fact that's it's not too difficult makes it a breeze to get through. the story is solid, complicated enough, and I really like the feature where after each mission you unlock a new piece of artwork. It's a short game but as I age I'm starting to appreciate that much more, every game doesn't need to be a forever game.
