Shmup suggestions (beehaw.org)
submitted 1 month ago by bbbhltz@beehaw.org to c/gaming@beehaw.org

Recently I've been looking into expanding the number of shmups in my library.

Which games should I prioritise getting? Any that I should avoid?

Crimzon Clover's really fun. It's similar to Dodonpachi. Another good one is Ikaruga. It has an interesting mechanic we're you switch colors to absorb bullets.

Avoid Sine Mora and other "euroshmups", they just suck to play.

Haven't heard the term "euroshmup" before. Also haven't seen Sine Mora on any lists that I've been looking at either.

@bbbhltz @_Lory98_ ,

Sine Mora is not for everyone, but those who like it (like I do) _really_ like it. The gameplay revolves around the time mechanic and so does the really messed up story. The audio-visual presentation is great too.

There are several people who do not like it though, as it is a bit outside the box and is quite story-heavy.

I think this review explains it very well:
