This would be much better with controller than with mouse. It was also annoying to not have an autofire fire feature. I found it tedious, the powerups were annoying, I guess you're supposed to keep track of what weapon you want and avoid the other ones. I'm not sure about this game, did not like arcade. I think I beat it, it's pretty hard to tell. Or Google it for an original download (you may need DOSbox to get it to work right, though). Just join GOG.com and it's automatically added to your library. I love that you can use the mouse to move it may make the game a bit too easy, but it's lots of fun.Īlso, it's FREE. IMO, the difficulty levels should be renamed: The game is a bit on the easy side, especially for a shmup. I like the end of episode 4, when the game says: 'You think back to your Hazudra friend who died way back in episode 1. Many of the planets have guidebook entries on them in-game. The game has a very 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-esque' sense of humor.

Nice cartoony stylized look, variable difficulty, mini-games and game modes galore! The data cubes are, for the most part, hilarious. I've never seen such a huge variety in gameplay in any other shoot'em up. This game is probably my favorite shmup ever. I switched to zica laser, and then to the laser when they became available, though, because the ridiculous laser is super powerful and super fun to use. This time, I used the heavy missile launcher front weapon, and was pleasantly surprised at how powerful it was.

The game is also available for free on GOG.com.

The Android OpenTyrian port is free and has better controls than the iPhone paid app (which I had on my old iphone), in my opinion. The data cubes are, for the most part, hilarious. The game is great, and has a lot of charm compared to many games in the genre it has a nice cartoony stylized look, widely variable difficulty, and a ton of content and levels.

Since the touchscreen makes the controls less precise and difficult to use limited-use sidekicks, I played it on 'normal' (which on the PC I think is very easy for a shmup). I played through the 'full game' mode of Tyrian, which is always a ton of fun, IMO. Not the first time, but its been a while.

The CORE boss doesn't have to be destroyed to progress, anyways, though it does change the story a bit.īeat full game on 'normal'. The Ixmucane CORE boss is pretty much impossible to beat if you start this late in the game, but the game is probably otherwise more fun this way, since money still matters and you have to go with weapons that you normally wouldn't if you had lasers or zica weapons from episode III. You get money and progress pretty rapidly, and I noticed a number of enemies that had different, weaker attacks than they had when I encountered them in my previous playthrough that started in episode I.ĮDIT: I just beat the game again, this time starting in episode IV. After beating the game, I started a new game in Episode IV, and found the game surprisingly doable with the starting equipment. The full game mode really gets too easy by the time you reach episode 3, with money being so plentiful it doesn't matter any more by that point. I played through all 4 episodes in the 'full game' mode, and I decided to stick with the Zica Laser and Fireball main weapons by the end. Working the touchscreen controls is difficulty enough for me in this game. It's probably the easiest shmup game out there, but it is satisfyingly fun and has a lot of harder difficulties and harder game modes to play if you want a challenge. Other Shmups I might like to try or revisit during the event:Īfter trying and abandoning some 'freemium' mobile shmups recently, I installed and played through Tyrian, an old favorite that is really free. GALAK-Z (a rogue-like shmup that just doesn't grab me) I really enjoyed the original Bullet Hell Monday) A bit more going on than I am comfortable with. Strikers 1945 World War (a less crappy, but still offensively monotized, 'freemium' mobile game based on 1945 Strikers)īullet Hell Monday Black (on mobile. Strikers 1945 (abandoned due to crappy mobile emulation)ġ945 Air Force (a crappy 'freemium' mobile game based on 1945 Strikers) Games I have played/tried and then abandoned during this event:

Games I am playing or have played during this event: Since the game is now freeware, available on phones and PC, it's easy to recommend to people who want to try out a shmup that isn't of the arcade-Shmup style.

It's pretty easy and accessible to newbies to the genre, and has a fun upgrade system and sense of humor.
