If it's not presented by CAVE, why bother presenting it at all?

Because the best games aren't CAVE titles, but Raizing.

i'll bump a cave thread
it's a shame degica didn't put their cave games on sale, but they have some other shmups on sale

Childhood idolize Cave, Adulthood realize Psikyo made much more sense.

Rather have a Compile game to play.

Only plebs think it's bad

I like Psikyo's gameplay but something about the games just don't stick with me or hold my interest, other than the spritework and gameplay they just feel like cheap chinese knockoffs somehow

I think it's the shitty music and how there are so many stages but they're so short

>game is literally impossible unless you constantly die on purpose and avoid pickups
ButtGregg's aesthetic and music is amazing but in every other sense it's an extremely niche game

>but they have some other shmups on sale
blue revolver is also on sale

This.

>mfw cave shooter collection for gamcube

Damn shame a lot of those compilations were Japan only.

Toplan master race.

>ButtGregg's aesthetic
I sure love me some invisible bullets for the "realism"

if its not Team Shanghai Alice


i cannot play

Git gud
Or alternatively, git the rev.2016 port where you can change bullet color

That wasn't what I was talking about but okay

Best shmup is armed police WERCUM TO VIORENSE SHIDDY batrider.
Crimzon Clover a close second, get it on steam, live and breathe it. Forget what you know about saving your bombs and prudent play, and break break BREAK!
Awful.

>That wasn't what I was talking about but okay
Then what were you talking about?

Its gritty diesel punk theme and how well the soundtrack merges with it
The game's general style and atmosphere

I'll give you that.

Why not just play all of them?
