you should indeed purchase crimzon clover right now.

"i'm not good at shmups"
crimzon clover has a novice mode that will ease you into the game while not being insultingly easy. there is also a training mode that lets you practice any stage or boss you want under any conditions to help you practice parts you're having trouble with

"i want to try these kinds of games but they always have half naked anime girls all over them"
none of that in crimzon clover, friend! this game is certified 0% anime for those of you who are allergic or choose not to include it in your diet.

"i like shmups, why should i get this one"
crimzon clover offers solid gameplay, powerful shooting feel, scoring is intuitive and fun, four playable ships, nice and good explosions, online leaderboards, four modes of gameplay including a caravan mode! when's the last time you saw one of those?

"these games are too expensive for how long they are"
you can purchase crimzon clover for the princely sum of only $9.99 USD on Steam, and chances are you'll spend a long time on it if you don't commit the cardinal sin of credit feeding just to beat the game!

in summation, crimzon clover is my choice for Shmup of the Decade, at least until we get crimzon clover 2...???

Shmups annoy me because you always die in one hit and there's no margin of error for my kinda-lovely-sometimes reflexes. Give me a shmup with a health bar, and RPG elements and stuff. Give me Sigma Star Saga but a little less mediocre

I just realized that Crimzon Clover was not in-fact a clever typo but rather the actual title of the game. For shame, still buying.

yesterday i realized that Type-III is really good for survival bc the stage 3 boss and stage 5 boss jumping attack had been giving me lots of trouble. type-3 kills em faster and is fast enough for the spinning lasers.

still workin on my 1cc of the new version.

ps: good job on the notepad action in the end of your reading vid

Danmaku Unlimited 2 is also a pretty good cave-like shmup and has good options for beginners (like me). It's also got a point allocation system which lets you pick between more firepower or survivability, which makes for a good risk/reward system.

I guess so, it just also has gravity and thrust instead of just free movement, doesn't autoscroll, etc. No need to sperg over what a shmup is, its just about as far from Cave games as you can possibly be while still falling under that. It's a fun game and it's worth the price when it's on sale.
