Shmup: R-Type Delta, but you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

Run ‘n Gun: Gunstar Heroes, love the weapon power up system and its co-op.

Man I played the shit out of gunstar heroes back in the day, it really is a good one

How about autoscrolling shmups where you don’t die after every hit and get to upgrade your ship between missions?

The oldschool entry in this niche would be Tyrian – released in 1995, made freeware in 2004, then ported to modern OSes.

2004 was also when Jets’N’Guns came out. It looks more modern, has a quirky sense of humor and a badass metal soundtrack. It also has a sequel.

Both games can be found on your (PC) digital marketplace of choice.

Just started animal well myself. Seems extremely solid so far. Excited to see what else the game has in store. Also has me excited to see what else big mode releases in the future if this is the bar of what they’ll publish.

Some more modern run and guns - Blazing Chrome and Huntdown. Both of those are a good time.

I really like Gunlocked, which is a more short-form and arcadey roguelite shmup

Sunset Riders is a great run and gun.

Shmups, I’m only a beginner but I have a few suggestions:

• ESP Ra.De. - somewhat slower bullet hell with pretty interesting scoring, the “Psi” re-release has a lot of useful QoL features.
• Espgaluda II - you could think of it as a successor to the former, it has refined gameplay and recent releases have great QoL features. Somewhat faster paced bullet hell?
• Ikaruga / Radiant Silvergun - Although these are two very different games, they have entirely different mechanisms to most other shmups. Ikaruga feels like a “puzzle” game a lot of the time, while Radiant Silvergun has some light RPG elements. Both are somewhat hard to get into imo.
• Dodonpachi Resurrection - great starting point re bullet hells, the recent re-release offers a ton of QoL features and the game itself has interesting scoring / gameplay. Soundtrack is awesome.
• Raiden IV - Super biased, but I love the soundstrack. Pretty great, if simple, game otherwise.

I have many more shmups in my backlog (Ketsui, Dodonpachi Daioujou, Battle Garegga, Rolling Gunner, etc) which I’m sure I could recommend, but seeing as I haven’t played them first hand yet… I’ll leave it there for now.

NutWrench, rok temu do games w UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government

Aren’t game purchases enforceable contracts? i.e. “I give you money. You give me game that works.” ? (I’m avoiding words like “good” because that’s subjective and it gets into a whole different discussion)

I played the fuck out of Cannon Spike on Dreamcast

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon_Spike

But I was a huge SmashTV fan back in teh day. I still play it when I see a cabinet.

I tried to get into the mindset to get good at Ikaruga but I just cannot invest that kinda time.

Dreamcast had so many good shmups.

Guardian Legends and 1942.

I like Xevious and Zaxxon. Zaxxon was cool because it had a unique isometric perspective that I haven’t seen in another game.

Gradius 3 specifically I found to be quite fun. Its too bad Konami retired the Gradius series, but I suppose its probably better that way.

The Panzer Dragoon series is a great arcade shooter series.

Contra. Contra 4 specifically on the Nintendo DS I felt had the perfect balance. I really liked that entry.

KammicRelief, rok temu

oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.

Been playing Rebel Galaxy on and off a bit. It’s decent enough, think of it as a Freelancer lite, big emphasis on “lite”. It’s more “naval combat in space” than any sort of space game.

Also some Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I really suck at it but it’s so flashy and fun!

@ICastFist @chloyster RGO kinda fixed that and everyone was like Boooh it's not RG any more xD

...and then there was that exclusive deal that broke the camels back 🥲 Ded company.

ICastFist, rok temu

I’m partially aware of people not liking Rebel Galaxy Outlaw as a sequel, though I never read into the whys, though if you can actually pilot in all 6 degrees of freedom, that’s a plus for me.

What was that exclusive deal? Something with Sony?

bekopharm, rok temu

@ICastFist dunno, I missed all that by years and only found out after having a lot of fun with the game. Apparently it got so much hate that it's lead dev changed industries. Real shame. Ah well, apparently he is happy now and that's something too.

I do. Never really got into it but I thought it was a cool idea!

I was playing Rise of the Tomb Raider pretty much non-stop, a lot of fun. Gorgeous game and runs really well on my potato but…hehe Epic Games did something and now ROTR along with a lot of other games just appear as “OS Unsupported” in my library :) and after a little searching on the other site turns out everyone is having the same issue.

Oh well, atleast Epic Games gave away DRM free versions of those games so I can still play my copy
