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?

Do you have any examples of shumups that you like and any you dislike? That might help give a better idea of what you like.

I mean, if you just want “good shmups”, it’s easy to go to Steam, search for games with the “Shoot 'em Up” tag, and sort by user reviews.

But if you’re looking for something in particular, a list like that might help.

I don’t have much to go on, it has been more than 30 years since my arcade days. I’ve been making a list and am trying to prioritise purchases. I think Ikaruga will come first as soon as it is on sale again (which isn’t very often).

I don’t have a Steam account, but I’ll try your method anyway to see how it compares to what is already on my list.

Thanks.
