Posted by John as Shmups
A replay that I found on a japanese site. This is said to be the hardest boss in shmup history… as far as I know, no one ever has beat this boss without continues. this is probably the nightmare of all shmup players…

BugsRider – Online RPG shmup

This is an interesting multiplayer online vs. shmup – Bugsrider. This match is three players. The way it works is only one person can attack at a time, while the others are in defense mode. Thing is, you CANNOT control anything when defending. So, you are at the mercy of the other player. This brings some strategy into the game – should you gang up on one person? Or try not to off the highest level character?
Keyboard controls only so far, you have shot, charge shot, and bomb. You can gain XP and level up, and also buy upgrades at a shop in the central hub. I like this so far.
It’s still in beta testing mode as of posting this, so all stats will be erased (don’t spend days leveling up just yet).
My player is shmupnut if you want to fight me!

Armada – Sega Dreamcast shmup/RPG hybrid
Posted by John as Shmups
This is some gameplay footage from Armada, a Dreamcast shmup/RPG hybrid made by Metro3d.
It’s early in the game, so my character is not a very high level yet. I wander to a boss who is still too powerful to defeat, then head to an enemy infested town who are much higher levels than I am, and get properly wasted.
Armada is a shmup at it’s core, but has the most RPG elements I’ve seen in a hybrid game so far. You can level up, buy items, talk to characters, form teams (4 players local plus NPCs), and go on quests.
Armada is an interesting concept, and would be great for current generation consoles with online functions.
