Twinfinite reports-- "A listing for the fan favorite shmup, Ikaruga, has just turned up on Steam Greenlight from Treasure itself and they’re looking for the go-ahead from the community to bring what appears to be the HD version from XBLA to Steam, marking the game’s PC debut.
Listed on the Greenlight page are many features that were found in the 360 version, including the ability to play on a vertical screen, local two-player co-op, and even controlling two ships on one controller (for you subterranean chameleon folk out there)."
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
Dive into the best Metroidvania games on Steam, from hidden gems to top-rated classics, and embark on unforgettable adventures!
Players can pay to edit their character, resurrect the dead and other actions.
Yet Helldivers 2 gets a pass? Y’know a GotY contender by the name of RE4 had them and so does Devil May Cry V. The funny thing is I enjoyed both of those games thoroughly without having to buy a single microtransaction.
What I do consider a valid complaint is not being able to start a new game or being able to edit your character. That’s kind of a seriously baffling decision, but then I think how I played Dragon’s Dogma 1 and I never edited my character and I just did a 100% playthrough on a single file and didn’t start a NG since. So, I don’t think these are really going to impact me, but I can see how it will others.
I was going to pay full price to support this game because I've been waiting for it for forever but I think I'll wait until I get it for free from Epic or a Humblebundle monthly.
I am not defending Capcom, as I am not a fan of MTX in single player games. I do however belive they were open to reviewers about having MTX in their game. The reviewers just decided to leave that part out. Which is very disingenuous. There are some companies that get away with these things. Image if this was done by EA, Ubisoft, or even Activision? I am positive those defending Capcom, would have had their pitchforks ready if the companies listed above did this
Already did :)
How is this game literally on everything else except the PS3/PSV?
They need to make a 3D version of this game. One of the best 3D games I have played is 3D infinity on the Xbox 360. It's just a watered down version of a game like Ikaruga, which I also have on 360.
If they can get Ikaruga on steam, and in 3D it would be great, for me anyway. I play Crysis 3 in 3D from time to time but it's nothing special.
I have ALL the treasure games! ;)
But yes, I hope this comes to steam. I green lit it it too.
Oooh, I'd love to get this on Steam. Maybe on the 3DS eShop too. There's Kokuga on there, but Ikaruga would be great too.
