This is our deepest discount ever -- 51% off! (Every other sale has generally ran at 50% off). It is extremely unlikely that we will ever go lower than this, so I guess it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

• How Steam brought shmups out of arcades and into a new PC renaissance - 13 April 2017

  By the late ‘90s, with Street Fighter 2’s impact on arcades receding in the West, the beautiful rows of wooden cabinets and the glow of their CRTs suffered a commercial deforestation. With their dwindling ranks went the heyday for genres built around a quick play and immediate gratification. Genres like the shoot-em-up, which predates all the rest with links back to 1962’s pioneering Spacewar! In its prime, the shoot-em-up genre swelled with a distinctly Japanese form of game design, screens covered by hellish bullet patterns and anime girls—plus notable domestic off-shoots. Post-arcade, the shoot-em-up, the shooter, the shmup, or the STG (pick your acronym preference) receded into an enthusiast bubble, hidden from view after first and third-person action games captured the designation of 'shooter.' In those dark years, shmup enthusiasts either cont…

  40 achievements are now live for your achieving pleasure! Note that most of them are unavailable if you have free play turned on - you'll have had enough time to practice by now, right?

• Blue Revolver Brings Retro Shmup Shenanigans - 13 October 2016

  There’s a reason why they don’t call me Shit-Hot Hot Shots Alice: because I’m no good at shoot ’em ups. Also other reasons, but mostly that. However, Stellar Circle’s retro Blue Revolver did catch my eye with a fun alpha demo last year. Now the full game is out and yes, this certainly is some bullet-spewing, vertical-scrolling, shot-dodging shooting ’em upping. …
