>>718216076
it's funner than anything else this year

Is this some bullethell slop?

>>718216254
no its a non-bullet hell shmup

>>718214043 (OP)
it's fully sick that it runs on original Genesis consoles with a flashcart

Sega does what Nintendoesnt

>>718214043 (OP)
I want to pick this up, how long is it?

>>718214043 (OP)
Not really but the music is a serious contender.
>>718216254
It's an horizontal shump

>>718214043 (OP)

>>718216076
best gaem

It's sick.

>>718216782
It's a shmup anon
it's 8 stages long as far as I know

>>718214043 (OP)
How it ranks against that pfz or whatever its name that released recently

>>718220456
ZPF?
It's insanely better than that
This is made by Ancient, which are well know MD devs, they made SoR2
It's not quite there but it's closer to thunderforce IV than most other shmups

>>718220638
Talking about Ancient, how the fuck are they still running?

>>718220797
What do you mean, they've constantly made games through the years
You played the Gotta Protectors games?

>>718220883
Last Ancient game I played was some Gunstar titile for Saturn or a Nintendo handheld, whatever released later.

Lmao shmuptrannies are the ultimate cattle

>>718220948
I wouldn't want it in another way.

>>718220926

>>718220948
>High pitched
Time to get your ears checked anon

>>718221003
Imagine being worse at playing videogames than said cattle
LMAO, couldn't be me

>>718221050
>Time to get your ears checked anon
ironic coming from a boomer who can't hear how bad this shit is

>>718221003
It's a niche genre for a reason.

>>718221138
Nah, I listen to it on my MD
Can't expect zoomers to have taste

>>718214043 (OP)
>game of the year
Unlikely unless this one gets delayed.

>>718221316
>The sequel of the game that kickstarted cardslop cancer

>>718221316
Will this even reach the original game in quality?

>>718221316
This will release highly incomplete and unbalanced and it'll take about two years to be refined, like the original. They just omitted the Early Access tag.

>>718221371
It's one of the best new game mechanics to emerge in recent years.

>>718221467
Huh?
Culdcept has been a thing for a long time anon

>>718216809
there are horizontal danmakus

>>718218454
>genesis soundfont
fucking ew
his work on the wangan games is god-tier doe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFrCJ5j_CJ8

>>718221467
Not really. These mechanics have been used for decades but it wasn't until STS it's popularity exploded and a legion of indie devs wanted to make a cashgrab out of its success.

>>718221090
Shmups are not hard, the length comes from autistically beating the game without losing lives or using a continue
>look mommy im emulating le old school times where i had to put in quarter to keep playing the game, this is real game design!!!

Kys

>>718221558
>fucking ew
Zoomers deserve the rope.

I suck ass at these classic horizontal shmups but I'm enjoying it. As mostly a Cavefag it's opening my mind to try more.

>>718221558
>Fucking ew
>Proceed to post J-eurobeat
Come on now.

>>718221467
"the actions you can take in combat are randomized because they're represented by cards you draw from a deck" isn't even from recent years.
You've got stuff like Baten Kaitos or Phantasy Star Online ep3, both from 2003

>>718221585
>Shmups are not hard
>Proceeds to crash out about getting gud

>>718221596

>>718221641
>J-eurobeat
it's trance music they're not the same

>>718221743
I can beat any shmup lil bro, it’s just memorizing bullet patterns, doesn’t help that shmups are dated with their level design and encounters because if devs try something new with the genre you shmup troons will shit your pants

>>718221803
All rook the same.

>>718221809
Lil broccoli heads now fully crashing out, pacing up and down his room
LMAO, chill brother
It's just a game

>>718221809

How many potential wasted on a sofa.

>>718222420
>still calling others troons with bad taste when he's a zoomer who listens to trance
The fucking state of it.

>>718221517
>>718221685
But it wasn't fun or popular.
>>718221560
And they created a bunch of good games thanks to it.

>>718222758

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4GvGFDFVNI

zesty genre, deal with it.

>>718216076
Actual gameplay is involved.

>>718224518
Eeeew

It's probably going to be up there, haven't gotten to it yet but Ancient makes good shit and Yuzo in particular is one of my favorite creatives in the industry. So far the only games I've played this year that feel exceptional are remakes of existing games which I barely count; NG Ragebound was very good but not as good as I hoped with some bad bugs and the Shinobi demo has me thinking it will be in that ballpark. Every other contender is either not in a genre I care about, exclusive to a console I don't own, or an upcoming small-mid range budget arcadey game (Absolum, Night Striker Gear, Lumines Arise, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Candy Rangers, Neon Inferno).

>>718214043 (OP)
Believe someone in /vr/ released the rom of the game around after release and Yuzo made a tweet about it. Still going to buy it, just not currently.

What does "he" think about it? Will "he" make a review?

I saw a guy saying that the shield system makes it a kind of euroshmup where you can get hit hundreds of times in a game and still finish it.

>EXA version is just plain better
>no, you can't have it
Disqualifies the game for being best anything. It's so fucking stupid.

>>718216076
Because it's the best game to release this year :)
Hope that helps!

>>718227610
Don't you have an arcade cabinet?

>>718221558
>jenahsees
it's MEGADRIVE you faggot, and it's kino

>>718227085
it's the biggest shmup release of the year it would be weird if he didn't

>>718227610
I mean, it's mostly just the audio

>>718227085
