Huh? This has been out for a year.
Like I bought it from amazon US last year.

Looking at youtube videos…are you really supposed to play Pocky and Rocky just by inching forward and retreating?
Maybe I can change it in options but the Hold to Special and Tap to Special is a real mind twister.
Real disheartening to get hit and die and be stuck with your terrible pea shooter. Going to drag myself to beat story mode then give up my time with the game. Same thing I did with the previous Tengo Project games. Wish I liked playing them.

Previously Rudie, but at least in the US, you can buy it through Amazon.co.jp as long as you setup a Japanese address, which you can just use one of those shipping services for. Just make sure you are buying the digital code, and they will send it to you.

Been falling asleep to this for almost a month now and it has been enlightening to learn why do people like Image Fight and toapalan games. He never excuses his own biases and lets you know when something others like he doesn’t. Really good to take down in small bites.
Saying Steel Empire is good and fun is an ehhhhhh for me though.

thinking about getting into shmups ‘properly’ for the first time, i guess… always liked em since my childhood friend had raiden on the atari jaguar
- raiden
- a bunch of those flash shmups circa 2011 or whatever
- post ABDN = ikaruga (great but not for me) and radiant silvergun (really liked it). just credit feeding basically, not playing properly. (i think the games that ABDN used to rate highly often had a ‘perfect’ way to play, come to think of it… always preferred rsgun over ika for that reason)
- credit-feeding in crimzon clover, strania, assault android cactus, etc. didn’t like jamestown or sine mora much
- not sure if it counts but i love luftrausers and bangai-o
- currently thinking about a medium term pivot to gamedev, making a shmup would be interesting and good practice (2d? 3d?)
systems: steam / pc (2015), probably dead xbox 360 [US], PS3, iOS
bought Dodonpachi DOJ & DFK for iOS… DOJ owns… just sort of increased the desire to play it with a proper control scheme. maybe arcade stick? i have a qanba laying around. wish there was a steam port.
i think i’m really interested in playing for survival not score… 1CC seems a much more achievable goal with the time/interest i have.
and from a shmup design standpoint im interested to know which games have multiple viable high scoring routes and not just one optimal mechanic you need to execute perfectly constantly. this youtube channel “The Electric Underground” mentioned a shump design document or video that I can’t remember but sounded interesting.
anyways, i guess im gonna try to achieve some competence at DOJ away from iOS, or another quality game that is convenient to play. is there a good port? ‘shmup mame’? (idk what that is) how do yall play ur shumps

- I can 1cc many STGs, it’s nbd
- I have 1cced a couple of my favorites but that’s it, probably couldn’t do it again if I tried
- I have never 1cced a STG and I will credit feed when I just want to get through the game
- I have never 1cced and don’t credit feed either, it’s always game over mfers

I have 1cced all the iOS Cave games on all but the hardest difficulty but I am absolute shit if you put me on gamepad or arcade stick and people constantly tell me this doesn’t count
