Thankfully, a lot of new shooters, especially indie ones, tend to be made with the new player in mind. I’m gonna combine these two questions for obvious reasons. What are the mainstream and/or entry level shmups in 2020? (Only really aware of and played Parodius + Ikaruga). So in a nutshell: notorious difficulty 😤 That said, I think the sub-genre you’re looking for is the cute-em-up! There’s plenty of anime in there yeah, but then you’ve also got things like Fantasy Zone, Twinkle Tale, Harmful Park, Maiden & Spell and Star Parodier that all play in that cute, whimsical space, with real adorable designs.Ī big part of why I haven’t picked up a shmup in ages is from bad memories of playing quarter-hungry arcade shmups that felt actually impossible to succeed in. Stuff like Gradius Gaiden, Salamander, R-Type and Darius def have some of the most spectacular scenes in the genre. Well first, I’m gonna be THAT person and caution against outright dismissing the space shooter aesthetics, since even some of the big mainstream games get real creative with their settings and are worth dipping into. Twinkle Star Sprites, Twinbee and Parodius being ones I’ve liked the look of a lot. I want aesthetics other than just generic sci-fi or horny anime.
Racketboy’s SHMUPS 101 is also a good place to start.Īnd of course I’m always down to give personally.

Or you can try podcasts like the Shoot-the-Core-cast, or Youtube review series like Bullet Heaven to get a sampling and see if there’s anything you like.
You can jump into communities like the Game & Love discord or the clickbliss discord, which I run, and ask for recs. There’s such a broad variety that informed people can give you a way better recommendation suited to your tastes. I used to play more when I actually had a Mega Drive, but the only modernish one I played is Ikaruga but only because of how infamous it was, I suppose.Ī good place to start is finding a community and asking for some recommendations. Which ones are actually good? There are so many.
