Thinking about when I can go back to that arcade and drink unlimited diet Cokes and play shmups

Whitney got me some credit on the PSN store for my birthday, so I'm feeling like grabbing a couple fun SHMUPs to play. Anyone got any good recommendations?

I'm a big player of Space SHMUPs (Ikaruga, Darius) and Cute-Em-Ups (Trouble Witches, Deathsmiles). Thinking of finally grabbing Cotton Reboot.

Trapped in the realm of wanting to clear more shmups but not knowing which I want to commit time to clearing...........

Naious is difficult. Thunder Force II on Easy is harder than Genesis on Hard lol (plus more levels)

Otherwise, you're better off checking this list since I'm not sure what kind of shmups you like.

There are hardly any shmups on the original Xbox. The 360 was a righteous correction.

One of y’all mutuals need to move to my area and play shmups & third strike with me D:

I’ve got a bunch of random people who like shmups and/or arcade racers, and they’re chill

Angrily making a list of shmups that promote a girl who doesn't appear in the game

Character growth is realizing I might actually like shmups, I just dislike vertical ones (they're too tall)

Nice haul, that's a solid autumn of shmups.

That may not be fair. There are train and dinosaur based SHMUPs…but none of those hold a fuckin’ candle to Mushihimesama
November 1, 2026 at 3:02 PM
Honestly, that happens a lot with Shmups. I play Mushihimesama Futari, my favourite shump, half a decade before playing Mushihimesama.

Outside's shmups are hard to recommend without qualifiers for reasons that are immediately apparent but that's too bad because Fox Flare Night's extra stage boss is truly galaxy brained and deserves to be played

[💙M] I don't recommend people to play shmups anymore because nobody cares about any shmups that aren't Touhou, so I just recommend obscure RPGs now.

Anyways, disregard me saying "play Devil Blade Reboot / ZeroRanger / etc" if you haven't already bought them, and play Requiem of Reuinis

🐇#006 - Keio Flying Squadron 2

looks stunning! more Studio Pierrot animation! also full of bizarre mickey mouse music which makes the awkward voice acting stand out in a really funny way

i'm not a fan of shmups, and changing genres to become a platformer is kind of a lateral move for me, funwise

I have this problem with many gorgeous SHMUPS - I can't take time to appreciate the beauty of the art!

Saw someone use the word “normie” and it was about people who don’t like any shmups other than Ikaruga

I get what they were saying but it’s still funny to hear the word normie in relation to fucking IKARUGA 😭

I have like 6 shmups installed on my steambox for a similar reason it's tough

finally commited to going back to deathsmiles recently due to halloween though 😤
