there are none afaik. I don't think anybody on the planet still makes vertical shooters and if they do it's probably indie crap on steam.

Jamestown is solid, I forgot it was on PS4.

All the new shmup action is in the Japanese doujin scene now, which means you have to wade through an ocean of pedophile anime crap to find a decent game. So MAME and classics is the only way to go at the moment.

Hell yeah, Batrider is good. Did you access the "secret" characters?


I really prefer Raizing's more colorful shmups to Battle Garegga/Bakraid.

Got into some Guwange today. My favorite Cave game, even though I can't play for score.

The cat spider isn't even that hard, but justly famous.

I've been playing ketsui and I'm really bad at it, it feels way faster than other cave games and throws me off but the music and stuff is really cool

Yeah I'm really into shmups, Nuclear Throne, and Hyper Light Drifter right now but they are all about to eat poo poo in the face of Souls III.


My only 1cc is in Dodonpachi, and the trick for me was to practice the first three stages until you can no-miss them, then you have enough lives to bombspam through every hard part in the rest of the game.

I may try to focus on Dodonpachi because it seems like it will be a little more manageable than mushihimesama late when ive got some more experience. I just picked it up tonight for a run and I can get to stage 3 and i probably could have no missed 2 if i used a bomb a half second earlier. but stage 3 boss still whoops me and i lost a life on the stage as well.

Its considered heresy by some, but save-stating on the score screen in between stages so you can practice a stage deeper in the game can be useful. Then you're prepared when you do a proper run.

I didn't do that for DDP, but I've done it in games where the ranking system really changes how each stage plays.
