Hoh shit niggers,
Steam is having a SHMUP sale. Let's talk.
>What's good?
>What's not so good?
>Recommendations?
Steam Shoot-em'-up Sale
Steam and Metal is good for its price, i recommend it
I looked at the games on sale very briefly and I the piles of weeb shovelware made it hard to see anything good.
Are there any must-have shoot-em-ups on sale?
Most good SHMUPS nowadays are weeb
Good or bad, that's just how it is now
As far as I can see:
Mushihimesama
Crimson Clover: World Ignition
Tale of ALLTYNEX
Ikaruga
Dariusburst
Got Enter the Dungeon and it's pretty fun
>>What's not so good?
everything because it's shmups
>Crimson Clover: World Ignition
>Ikaruga
Both of these are top tier
How good is Mushihimesama, user?
Thanks for your contribution to the thread. Now get out
Anybody know anything about SpaceMoth DX? Looks kinda cool
I got AAC and Enter the Gungeon
I only got AAC because of Woodsie's video on games to play with the Steam Controller.
It's pretty good, especially if you like tons of bullets on screen
Add Kamui to that list and that's pretty rock solid.
Which ones have online co-op?
I don't trust the boxes on the side of the steam shop, When I click on that shit Metal Slug doesn't even show up.
Crimson Clover, Eschatos, Sora, Mushihimesama, and exceed 2nd/3rd are all good.
Kamui is included in the Tale of ALLTYNEX user
It blows my mind that a Shmup sale does not have the best one on sale, Ikaruga.
Prime CAVE shooting goodness. Fucking buy it.
Starward Rogue is like gungeon if gungeon was good
cave games
the ZEALs
crimzon clove
alltynex
kamui
reflex
vulkaiser
darius
eschatos
judgement silversword
darius is at 50%
if you haven't bought it already, buy it for someone you dearly love.
it said shmup sale not puzzle sale
Sweet. I'll take the jump
Gundeadligne is the only one I know of with online co-op.
Ikaruga isn't on sale
I bet you think toushit are of acceptable quality.
>Treasure lands on Steam
>Disappears
Don't remind me, user.
You're right, I shouldn't post when I'm this tired.
Is Sine Mora any good? Suda's SHMUP?
It's alright, nothing to really write home about.
Astro Port's games are surprisingly good if you like old school arcade shooters that are horizontal.
>tfw you play shmups at least once a day
>never get any better
Every day for the past two years
eeeeeh it's alright
So what I'm hearing is...
I should get the Tale of ALLTYNEX bundle
Why are you still here and not buying the shit user?
I'm leaning towards steredeeren, any opinions?

Assault android cactus is fucking amazing, don't mind the retarded character models.
I've actually been on the fence about this one. I certainly don't mind picking up bad shmups (heck, I enjoy playing them as well) just that I don't make them a priority.
What makes Steam & Metal decent and worth grabbing now?
likewise. good price and free dlc incoming early 2017
...
>Metal Slug isn't on sale
>all this shit tier weeb stuff
Exceed 3rd, if for no reason than the soundtrack
That's a run and gun.
I like Space Moth DX, bought it last night for $1
I'm still disappointed over how fucking bad this game turned out
Does anyone know if PC is getting Raiden V?
It's cheap and overall decent
Good art and character design and kinda good level design
Fair enough. Thanks for the response.
Where can I get sexy plastic space ships
bought Raiden series and love it so far and starting to realize how much I enjoy shmups
Bought xseed and danmaku 2 what else is worth it?
They were a line of capsule toys in like 2006, not sure if you can find any anymore.
No problem, if you don't like it you can get your 1 dollar back (i think it's 1 dollar, i'm not american btw)
>Gradius
>Ikaruga
>those fgures
Good taste, user
>He still hasn't learned to appreciate shmups
i 1CCd ur mum last nite
user, you're going to have to prove it to me. Post a top-tier song from the game
>Prime CAVE
>goodness
lmfao
Oh I forgot to mention, they did release some new ones a year or so ago. They're a lot higher quality (and more expensive). I don't think they did so well in sales because they stopped making them right afterwards. Look up Shooting Game Historica Reboot if you want to try and find them. I'm hoping figma makes some.
Not him but
youtu.be
youtu.be
Exceed 3rd is fucking great I have like 110 hours logged
I wanna penetrate Jade if you know what I mean
Einhander is goat shmup. Is that on PSN?
Damn son
The last one especially
Is the 3rd eXceed the only one worth getting?
is dariusburst worth the 24$?
How is REVOLVER360?
If you really like fish and horis, yes.
2nd is an Ikaruga clone but it's a really good one. It's very fast paced and plays more like a traditional shmup despite the bullet absorption.
1st one isn't very good.
Is GALAK-Z a shooter?
Is it a decent game?
>dodonpachi on steam never ever
How good are 2hus compared to the ones on this sale?
DaiFukkatsu was already announced.
imo touhou is around the mediocre-to-good end of the scale for me. That said they have a rather unique style as far as shmups go so you might like them more than I did.
It's not bad. The biggest problems is ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IN BLUE (except bullets) and so it's hard to tell enemies from backgrounds from irrelevant moving stuff from incoming moving stuff. The rotating the screen is interesting but hard for me to deal with at times, due to not knowing what's happening a lot of times.
I got into shmups through touhou and like said they are kind of different from what you'll usually find on the market.
Not a typical vertical scrolling shooter (free-roam with some inertia physics and minor stealth mechanics), but is is pretty decent. Your ship can turn into a robot after you unlock the upgrade, similar to Macross ships.
Touhou tends to change the scoring mechanics with various games so you are doing different things each title. Also, enemies and attack patterns are different each game, so you get a fairly decent variety even if they are all "dodge the massive bullet waves".
Jigoku Kisetsukan: Sense of the Seasons stood out as one of the most "Touhou" Steam games I've run across so far, or at least the one I remembered most distinctly. I didn't play into it very far, though.
Luftrausers is pretty neat. Not a traditional shmup but it's really fun when you get gud
Its a pretty unashamed Touhou clone, but its also free and the boss stage music is really good imo
The first one is the only bad one.
Vampire Rex kicks ass.
Also, it has fucking THIS.
youtube.com
It is an excellent game. Lots of content, and the arcade more is very well done. It has some of the best shooting music and bosses of last gen.
MISS ME BITCHES?!?!?!
This will be my chance for Eschatos and the _ZEAL games. I don't know if it is on sale, but I recently picked up Mecha Ritz for like $5, and am really impressed with how well-made the game was. Lots of cool designs and art and music; I believe it was all done by one person.
Does Raiden IV have local multiplayer on PC?
DIE
FUCK
CATS
some scrubby keyhoarder broke NDA
youtube.com
When does it come out officially?
...
i counterstopped her cunt
T H I S A U T U M N
FUCK
powerup ship looks kinda weird, still cool
>noone has mentioned jets n' guns yet
Old but good shit, recommend it with all of my heart.
Game had a pretty decent soundtrack.
What it really needs is a coop mode, which the demo had for some odd reason.
>Raiden III and IV
Yay or nay?
It's the lowest it's ever been.
Nay on III, yay on IV.
III is apparently a shit port.
DO IT
Thanks m8
III is meh, IV is great if your PC decides to let it run
Hell yes. Got it from a reseller at launch for $30 and it was totally worth it.
