discount elysium (deals thread 2)

lmao i love that i still need an explainer for the explainer

to be fair there is, in fact, an explainer for the explainer


16 USD seems reasonable for what’s in DBACEX+

already have Chronicle Saviors + the DLC for Vita so i definitely would rather get this than CS again

how’s the event mode stuff? looked pretty cool to me

I must inform everyone that The Dollar is again worth 144 Yencoins.

You can own all of anything if you buy hard enough. Having gotten all of this on steam it is dismaying to know that I don’t own all of it, but also that there is more content to this game and just … no thank you?

Great time to buy shit from Japan if you’re in the US. Awful time to be teaching English in Japan and trying to pay back your student loans.

There’s a big “shmupfest” sale on Steam right now. Plenty of discounted shmups and also a lot of random-ass twin stick shooters and FPSes because Steam never seems to understand genre labels…

But anyway, what’s a good shmup to play if I’ve already played ZeroRanger but little else?

Just talking Steam:

Mushihimesama
Twin Cobra
Eschatos
Judgement Silversword
Crimzon Clover
DARIUSBURST
Strania

Hmmm…I actually haven’t played a couple of these but they look great and I’ve heard good things

g-darius is on steam and i hope its a good enough port.

deathsmiles is for real amazing unless you find playing it embarassing.

i really like dodonpachi resurrection but you have to accept bulletcanceling mechanics and hyper gauges.

blue revolver is very good

also touhou somehow reached steam

The Twin Cobra port is just a MAME rom basically, and pales in comparison to the M2 port, but the game does rule.

The day I don’t check the forums huh.

Crimzon Clover is modern maximalist as opposed to that other modern maximalist I can’t think of the name of that assaults all senses. As an expansion that I have been meaning to get. Also I have been meaning to play more CC for like 8 years.

Bullet Garden was recommended by @Tegiminis and is like 3 bucks and is very good.

Is saying Ikaruga too quaint? Ikaruga is good.

Moon Dancer I have only really messed with the Score Attack mode but is good.

AsteBreed is like if Nier Automata’s shooting was a whole game. There will be at least 3 times in your (probably one sitting) playthrough your jaw will draw because you can’t believe you are playing it.

Bot Vice is an SNES style single screen stage-shooter. Trying to survive and kill for just 40 seconds is a challenge i like it way more than Wild Guns Reloaded.

Double emphasizing BulletGarden, practically nobody knows or cares about it but me and it’s one of my favorite shmups, brimming with creative weapon design.

Everyone else’s suggestions already cover a good spread so I have none.
