Recently I’ve been looking into expanding the number of shmups in my library.

Which games should I prioritise getting? Any that I should avoid?

    Shmupdate:

    GreyLancer (oldie but a goodie, too tempting to play on easy mode with rewinds so replay value is lowish, but was still very enjoyable.)

    Crisis Wing (love the graphics, good difficulty levels for near-beginner.)

    Radiant Silvergun (what the hell were they smokin at Treasure!? Even on very easy this is going to take me at least 25 hours to beat using every life/ship I can get. Probably double that! In the first hour of play I went from “well this is garbage” to "oh, I see, you just need to put in the time and effort and then it’s awesome.)

    Still haven’t finished the boss rush on Andro Dunos II so those extra levels will be a mystery to me…

    R-Type Dimensions EX is on sale right now, so I’ll probably buy that tomorrow.
