I didn't see a thread for this so sorry if there's one buried in like page 30. But anyway, this is a thread for talking about shmups. What you're playing; bragging; hot takes - whatever. I myself have been playing Star Parodier and I'm trying to get into Cotton 2 but it feels like my thumb's gonna fall off without auto-fire ::nervous-prinny

EDIT: nevermind, feel free to delete lol

One that stood out to me recently was Sine Mora. Who know a shmup could have such a packed story. it was fun too! Also played most of the Raiden Games.

And Drainus from Team Ladybug was quite good too!

I've started playing shmups between Fatal Fury sessions on my handheld. So far I really like Judgement Silversword. Looking for more addictive stuff
 
I'm really fond of classic arcade Shmups like Dodonpachi, Raiden Fighters, Gunbird, Strikers, Gradius series and so on. I mess around with Touhou sometimes too.

I never know if you're serious or doing a bit Anti, but Deathsmiles is legit great.
 
Absolutely. One of my three 1cc's and the most fun by far. A top 10 PS1 game for sure.
 
Hi there guys. I've been playing shmups for a while, yeah. They're new to me really, since I've been always a fighting games guy, but I guess I got tired of ragequits, constant updates changing everything and so on... So I just love playing (retro) shmups everyday!
