Where are my Arcade shmup fans at?

[DjQuick2008]

I've never bought anything from Steam (I should sort that out really!) but I really want these:
DEVIL BLADE REBOOT
ZeroRanger
BLUE REVOLVER
Earthion
GRADIUS ORIGINS
(Gonna get the last 2 on Switch).

I'd also recommend Crimzon Clover World EXplosion and DRAINUS
(Got these 2 on Switch).

DU3 is pretty good. Very nice heavy metal soundtrack, a LOT of bullets on screen and some unique bullet canceling mechanics with it's graze-powered beam.

Believe it or not i play shmups on silent mainly with my dance music i can still get multiple hits same way i play fortnite with the motion sensors on rather than sound

Oh, enjoying the soundtrack is almost half the fun in playing a shmup for me! I need to play one a LOT to even start considering turning off the sounds, probably because I'm grinding a part repeatedly. Syncing up the gameplay to the audio is super important, it's like learning to play a song, routing a shmup.

It's really good but pretty hectic, even for a bullet hell! I like the lock-on radar missile mechanic

That's another decent one. The mechanic where the bullets turn into harmless ghost bullets when you destroy the enemies which you can then collect is different

Hadn't played either of them for a few months so just had a quick blast on em!

If anyone plays and develops thoughts on the one I mentioned, I'd love to hear them. Not affiliated. Not shilling. Just don't want to be alone in the room I guess...

I don't mean to bury your post just found that hidden NES shmup gem again that I tried some years back, Gun-Nac. Worth a try if you never experienced a quality NES shmup.

Been playing Super Raiden for awhile now. Just this morning, I was able to clear the first loop without having to use a credit.

Made it all the way to the 2-3 boss before losing my remaining lives (lost a majority of them on 1-10).

Nice, welcome in!
uh, nice Toaplan bomb avatar but man it's blinking really fast, it's distracting if it's on screen lol.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Psikyo and Toaplan felt so unique.

But I have barely played their games...

 

[supershredder]

I was trying to figure out if there was a sub genre of shumps for ones where you walk on the ground giving you control of advancing the screen. Are these called anything else beside shmup?

How long before this thread devolves into Bad Apple covers, remixes, and shitpost remixes?
