Is Crimzon Clvoer any good?
copying and pasting from the last time i plugged this game

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!

Danmaku Unlimited 2 is a better shmup than Crimzon Clover IMO, CC just gets way more attention because of it's "old school" art direction and sound.

I like pretty much any horizontal/vertical shmup as long as it doesn't use mouse control. Like what's with that, it's terrible

Sine Mora is probably one of the worst games I've ever played so stay away from that one.

It's actually pretty good. The only things really wrong with it is that you need an rapid fire controller or to configure that in, like joy2key, otherwise the shot speed isn't really fast enough to take enemies down, and the forced scrolling sections are bullshit. It's very pretty, has nice music and, if you get good at it, can be both fun and challenging. I guess sorry if you can enjoy a game because it isn't exactly like every other game in the genre.

Stay well clear of the iOS port though, same thing with Raptor.

In a better world every single Cave, 8ing/Raizing/whateverthefuck and Toaplan shmup would be on Steam.

Psst, there's a even better way to own and play them all whenever you want for free. Or so I've heard...



But then you wouldn't get to enjoy whatever mistakes the Steam port had, and you wouldn't get to update the Steam client every day to play two five-minute runs of DoDonPachi.

Based on the couple stages I tried, I vehemently disagree that it's fun to play; I remember it being really slow paced and boring. But hey, if you like it then more power to you.

Also shmups have a lot of variety behind them. Sine Mora isn't this super different, groundbreaking game.

I have strong opinions about video games lol

I made the mistake of reading gun deadline,s manual which explicitly tells you how to edit the .ini file to enable Porn Mode
