Mana Pool: S.H.M.U.P., by independent game designer Charcoal Styles, does exactly what it says on the tin and then some. For newcomers to the genre, and possibly the youngsters among us, SHMUP is shorthand for “Shoot ‘em up”, a genre of shooter games which are normally viewed from a top down or side perspective.
The Sega Saturn was home to a ton of brilliant shoot 'em up games. Let Retroheadz pilot you through the best Saturn shmups to add to look out for.
Yuzo Koshiro, the legendary music maker of the Streets of Rage series is returning to his and Ancient Corps. Megadrive roots with a brand new shoot 'em up called Earthion.
I've been following this project and it's looking better and better. Plus it has his music so you know it will sound good too.
A heck of a shooter for the price. Just prepare for a challenge.
