So bros and sis's can you give me some recommendations for GOOD SHMUPs?
I only played Tyrian and Raptor. I think Tyrian is better though (graphics, space setting, upgrades etc.).
I would prefer games like Tyrian, with some rpg elements (upgrades, better weapons, ships, armor etc.). But if the game is good, and doesn't have buying upgrades like Tyrian, only collection of them while you play, it's also OK.
I also liked Solar Winds (I know it's more of an action/adventure), but unfortunately after you play shareware version, the full game (i.e. the second part) is too short and too shit. Although I had high expectations. Of course, I also played Star Control 2, and it's a classic. But unfortunately, there aren't even clones of Star Control. So I'm not hoping for much there, except if someone kickstarts next Star Control with beautiful pixel graphics and even more content and action/adventure in that universe. Oh I'd give a lot of my possessions to see that.
And yes, I know of Space Rangers 2, I also played it and liked it. But nothing on that front to look forward to either. Only HD remakes or some shit like that.
But Solar Winds, SC2 and SR2 aren't really SHMUPs, I only put them here, so you can see what I like, even in SHMUPs (elements from those games, SC2 being the best, than SR2, than Solar Winds, and I consider Tyrian a lot better game than Solar Winds, even Raptor probably).
Now I'm hoping I'll get some good suggestions and that I missed out on a lot of good ones, but I fear not. :D
