Daily Check: What shooters are you guys playing ATM?

[Tarma]

Caladrius arrived a couple of days ago so I've been playing that. .

Is this any good? It's by the guys at Moss (Raiden 3 & 4), no?

Anyhoo, been playing Batsugun on Saturn and getting my ass kicked... lol.

Yes, Caladrius is by Moss of Raiden 3+4. I haven't played it yet but people seem to like it.
Have you tried switching Batsugun to Special Mode in the options? It's a lot easier than the original (both were arcade releases).

Im playing Dodonpachi ressurection on 360 atm. Getting better at it....slowly. Keep getting hammered on stage 5 with those circle formation laser thingies.

Heh, oddly enough I've been playing in Special Mode this afternoon! It is a lot easier than the original, but it is still very challenging.

Might play some Raiden 3 later, possibly some Thunder Force VI as well.

I'm relearning Air Buster (arcade) this weenend. I was able to 1cc this back when it was fairly new but haven't had a chance to play it again until recently. I have an advantage since I still remember some of the trickier sequences, but there's still a lot to nail down again.

Some of the later levels are silly, enemies literally vomit bullets. VOMIT.

Trigger Heart (XBA)
Raiden Fighters Jet (XB360)
Guwange (XBA)

I really wish I could afford the arcade versions.

Got Ginga Force and Caladrius yesterday. Unfortunately girlfriend aggro kept me from opening them, so I'll definitely get some game time in tonight.

Anyone play Shogun on iOS? It's short, but a pretty good game. Obviously Cave games are the go-to for the genre on iOS...but this game is pretty polished (except the pretty generic looking menus). I've been playing it when I'm bored and on-the-go.

So, are these any good then?

Session on Mars Matrix earlier, was going fire up the Jap 360 but can't get to it at the moment thanks to the wife...

Battle Garegga and Dimahoo - two of the great ones. I'm not buying anything until I beat one of them.
