A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Originally released in 1994 on the Sega Mega Drive, Cotton Panorama is an on rails shooter that looks and feels a lot like Sega’s Space Harrier. For the pre-polygon era, the quasi-3D effect probably blew minds back in the day, and doesn’t look bad today, but the novelty is only skin deep as the gameplay […]
Crisis Wing is an old-school style vertical shooter that puts a heavy emphasis on challenge. Never impossible but always difficult, even long time shooter fans might find frustration with the trial-and-error difficulty. To summarize quickly, Crisis Wing is a decent shooter, especially considering the low price tag, but there are a couple issues that damper […]
Originally released in 1992 on the Japanese Sega Mega Drive, Greylancer has earned a cult following. Now outfitted with modern quality of life features, this is one action game that shooter fans will adore. It only costs $7.99 too. The gimmick behind Greylancer is the unique control set up. Instead of just shooting forward and […]
The main draw of Waifu Discovered 2: Medieval Fantasy is obviously the seductively drawn anime babes but the shooter segment, the actual gameplay, is surprisingly enjoyable thanks to a thoughtful upgrade system. Even if seeing ladies in their birthday suits wasn’t in this game, it would still be a fun shooter. Apparently these ladies have […]
Even though Crimzon Clover World EXplosion was originally released in 2011, this is an action packed shooter that is insanely fun to play today. To make this short and simple, this is a must-own for any shooter fan and makes a quality addition to any Switch library. Watching the trailer for this top-down vertical shooter […]
Good Knight is a genre-bending one-button bullet hell action shooter… sort of. This chaotic title might be hard to define due to the unique gameplay but one thing is for sure – it is tough. Enjoy the stream embedded below:
Sort of like the Brain Age of shooters, Shmups Skill Test gauges your shmup skill level then grades you accordingly. It is an interesting take on the shooter genre and this game only costs a few bucks.
This week, me and Gillman play some Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special (PC), a crazy anime shooter that involves arcades, pigs, outer space, mechs, claw catchers and much more. It is a pretty crazy but quality title. We also talk about how game prices are skyrocketing on the collector market.
Cotton is a classic shooter and an original title to adopt the “cute’em up” visual presentation directly into gameplay when it was first released on the Sharp X68000 and in arcades. Playing as a chibi witch, Cotton gets bribed into helping a fairy restore land from evil monsters by being offered candy. Once all seven […]
This week, Gillman and I check out Cloud Cutter, a newly released shmup that features realistic graphics and a twisting camera perspective… that is, if you can make it that far. This game is super hard and we couldn’t even beat the first stage after numerous retries. Definitely not a bad game, just a difficult […]
