I'm on the same boat as you dude. Only a few months ago I saw a video by youtuber Shmup Junkie. The passion and excitement he shows when speaking about shmups was infectious. I gave them a try and I was hooked. I love the pick up and play, arcade feel to them. Edit: Also, do yourself the biggest favor ever and get Crimson Clover World Explosion EX. You welcome in advance.

GG Aleste 3 on Aleste Collection is one of my favourites. An original game made by m2 but has that 8 bit aesthetic. Shout out for Sorcer Striker/Mahou Daisakusen, another m2 conversion and a brilliant game, the orchestral arrange soundtrack is incredible, this one is digital only which is criminal.

Great video! I have played most of these shmups.. some very good games mentioned here.. I can also recommend: Drainus, Akai Katana Shin, Steredenn, Black Bird, Squad 51 VS The Flying Saucers...
@MegaGasek11 ай бұрын
Steredenn and Drainus are the best. I'm not into Bullet Hell Shmups. The backgrounds look too simplistic and you cannot appreciate the game because you've got to pay exclusive attention to the bullets.

Great list! The Shmups/STGs that I've been spending the most time with over the last few years are: Star Hunter DX & Devil Engine. They both lack online ranking but have fantastic challenging gameplay. Like Andro Dunos II, as side scrollers, they look and play great in handheld mode on the Nintendo Switch.

for a great game for newer shmup players, check out sorcer striker (aka mahou daisakusen). the first game by raizing, who went on to develop the legendary battle garegga. sorcer striker is the international version, easier than the japanese one. gorgeous pixel art and one of the best game soundtracks ever. you can emulate it in mame or retroarch. iirc there's also a good ps4 port by m2 shottriggers.

12:02 Sine Mora EX Looks like my kind of shmup. I love story telling and world building in a shmup. Not to mention a time mechanic in which you crash when the time is up is clever. You kind of play offensively or be patient and find opportunities to attack. I saw a gameplay which is good. I am playing Kinja Run though. It did have a story which is subtle and was from Blade of Cats: Run... Kinja Run is more of a runner involving obstacle dodging then a wave shmup that comes in stages and has growth progression involving levelling weapons and heroes. I got screen recordings of it and it looks and feels good so far. Take a look at my channel if you have a chance.

Ya gotta check out crimson clover world explosion on the switch if ya haven't already. The TATE mode on it lets you turn the switch vertically and use the bottom joycon. Not the best way to play it but I appreciate that they gave you the option. but really its just a fantastic cave style shooter made by a top level cave player.

There's so many great games you can lose yourself into with this genre, just pure distilled fun.
