I was playing Super Galaxy Squadron EX and it's my first shumup in years.
I noticed that in the first boss, the bullet pattern was too fast and hard to see for me. It is normal for anyone else? I was playing on a plasma and using a DS4 connected via bluetooth.
Maybe there was too much lag?
That is the fatal lag hflaw of this game: the boss bullet patterns are far faster than the average game and too fast for human reaction, period. The developer has the wrong idea about what is fair.
I can't beat the final boss even on the lowest difficulty with infinite lives, after 50 tries or so. You have to get past two phases, with no checkpoint in between, and even getting to the second phase entirely comes down to luck.
Huh? It's been a while, I sort of second guessed myself after reading these comments. I just checked the game and cleared it again. I was pretty rusty and it took me three tries to get through the final phases. I can't second, the bullets being too fast. It's still kinda mean, that there are zero invincibility frames after a hit, but the scraping mechanic and the health drops offset that inconvenience (if you can manage the shock without fumbling).That is the fatal flaw of this game: the boss bullet patterns are far faster than the average game and too fast for human reaction, period.

Ghost Blade HD Steam page is up!
Caladrius Blaze currently has a 20% discount on Steam. I guess they don't want to be outdone by PSN, lol.
They are from set enemies and I think a few destructable background elements but been a while since I played it so don't quote me on that.Caladrius is more fun than I expected. Is there any trick to getting the orange extend fragments, or are they just hidden in fixed enemies?

Some of my favourites include Ketsuii (has this got a Steam release yet?), Guwange, Dodonpachi and Mushihimesama.
I will get things updated soon. I can't believe PC Gamer actually wrote an article about Shmups.
Didn't CAVE say they're eventually releasing more on the PC?
The original plan was three games, and then more based on sales. I expect to see more.
I do not expect that these games are selling enough to fund a new *original* Cave 2D shooter, but I'd like to be wrong.
It seems cool! Thank you for the post!I want to call attention to an old (2008ish) free indie game that very few have probably played, or even heard of, and has been on my mind lately. It isn't so much a typical shoot 'em up, with its biggest influence being another game also likely very few have heard of called Urthwurm, but all the same I think it will be relevant to the interest of STG fans. Also, it is free so, hey, who can complain.
It may look simple, but is deceptively extremely demanding and very rewarding. Some good hidden unlocks, as well. Make sure to give the readme a glance as there are some subtle mechanics that may not be immediately obvious.

This reminds me, I need to actually play Varstray. If only I didn't have to play in a smallish window.By the way, The Hurricane of the Varstray has new DLC. New playable characters in what seems to be a crossover promotion with some other brand.

How is the DLC? I felt the base game was a bit too long for my tastes.
Good news!
Senko no Ronde 2 announced for PC (Steam) and PS4

Me too but, trust me, we'll see Border Down too, one dayWould've preferred Border Down but I'm not complaining. SnR 2 is a nice get.
So considering that the investment would be the same as developing a completely new game we are going to need to see far better sales than Strania has achieved so far with this DUO remaster / revision.
