Xbox 360/Xbox One Radiant Silvergun is half off right now ($7.50). Not sure how long it's going to last. There might be other shooters on sale as well: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/radia ... verviewtab

Pawarumi is on sale for $9.99 on the US Switch eShop, but I know it's been on sale for like $3. Still worth it?

I personally put it under Euroshmup category. The game looks pretty but when I play it, it didn't feel satisfying. The shots are like you use a torchlight to flash the enemies and then they blink a couple of times before dead. Even the sound effects make the shots feel so weak. If you can tolerate those, then maybe. I don't know.

Good spot. Can confirm similiar price drops in the UK PSN store, all part of a "Retro" sale.

Also a down to a couple of quid on Switch. Watched the trailer and had to pull the trigger at that price.

Oh man, I didn't even realize this had come out on Steam. I'll be on the lookout for the next sale.

Steam has Golden Week Sale (celebrating japanese games). 50-75% off of Crimzon Clover, Mushi/Deathsmiles/Dodonpachi Resurrection, etc.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3778 ... ihimesama/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3879 ... esama_V15/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4644 ... urrection/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/314180/Deathsmiles/

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1031 ... l_Part_II/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2074 ... k_Package/

Since I find mushi and ddp resurrection to be the perhaps two best ports ever, I just hope they sell enough to warrant ports of saidoujou, ketsui, futari, and espgaluda 2 in the future.

Natsuki Chronicles and Ginga Force both on sale on PS4. £12.00 / £14.99 each (roughly) or in a double pack for a few quid less.
Either of them worth a punt?

Not a deal per se, but for tomorrow only devs get a 100% of the revenue for all games sold at Itch.io: https://itch.io/blog/252069/announcing- ... reator-day

Great games like ZeroRanger, Danmaku Unlimited 3, Blue Revolver, and more are all available there.

Several ACA titles on sale on Switch eShop at $3.99, not sure about other regions but probably on sale in those too. Aero Fighters 3 is definitely one of them.
