Hopefully it's good. The Dodonpachi for the iphone was total butts. Press and hold the screen and you get instant auto fire. You can move your ship as fast you want around the screen. Just doesn't feel like a real shooter anymore...

For mobile Shmups, the cave games were awesome. What do.you want to tap the touch screen to fire? That's gonna work great.

I don't think I was clear with my last post. I meant that I only prefer to play shmups with a controller. On the shmups that I've usually played, when you move the ship, there is a set speed/ movement for moving the ship. This does not apply to mobile shmups, as fast as you move your finger around the screen, that's how your ship would move. Also, on console/ arcade based shmups pressing the fire button would have different affects to the bullet stream than holding the button down. I didn't see that at all on Dodonpachi for iOS, it was just the constant bullet stream when held down.
I understand that there are limitations for mobile shooters when developing them. I am just saying that I prefer the traditional styles/ methods over what is currently coming out. Who knows, I might end up liking it down the road, but I highly doubt it.

Yeah I think we'd all rather player them with a joystick, but for a mobile title that whole.series is pretty awesome. Playing a shmup on a phone they way you want to would be next to impossible.

I think you're not alone on that. Most of us prefer the traditional play, however the touch screen controls work awesome for what thy are, I wouldn't have those games on my phone or tablet any other way. If I want traditional, I'll play traditional on something else other than mobile hardware.

I'm sure it could be worse.
Damn, who signed off on that awful art? Hope the conversion is better than that art.

That art was for the PSP version that got CANCELLED.
You aren't going to get the same precise level of tapping shot for building hits on your combo in the iOS ver, but all the arcade DDP games have hold C for rapid.

I didn't even know Dodonpachi is on iOS. I always get so worried that if I don't buy a game right away (or even if I do buy it) it doesn't get updated later and if I upgrade my phone I won't get a chance to get it again.
