Must play Shoot 'em ups
Well, it's a list of shmups, mostly for the 360, that everyone should play. In no particular order.
List items
-
The classic games bunched together. I've drained far too many hours in this collection.
-
My first 'dirty-old-man' japanese shmup. Very well done, but in the genre of 'makes me feel dirty having it'.
-
This was surprisingly not a 'dirty-old-man' shmup. It's quite challenging but not impossible, definitely worth a play if you can get a copy.
-
Addicting shmup gameplay with an actually intriguing story. Sold. Also: death piano.
-
Probably the first SHMUP I played on my parents computer when I was a kid. It was the game to turn me on to the genre.
-
it's classic in its ridiculosity. Plus, it's actually a solid SHMUP
-
Okay, technically it's not really a shmup. But, it's close enough to me to be on the list.
-
Another unforgiving game, that is still unbelievably satisfying to play.
-
'dirty old man'. I can't help but feel like a bad person even simply looking at the box art. The game itself plays solidly and the gradius style power-ups and customizations are super cool. Still not my favorite, but definitely one everyone should play.
-
Out of the 90s, it's a really excellent showcase of the hell of bullets.
-
Updated version of the original, has really great mechanics and great secret bosses. Probably one of the best SHMUP games ever.
-
Highly reccommended. If you're not super great at shmups, I would suggest BL. That mode is much easier if only for the bullet slowing/eating things
-
random cute-'em-up combo. They're definitely worth picking up and fiddling around with just for fun.
