What is your absolute hardest Shmup game?

Post by HeLGeN-X »

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't see a topic asking this anywhere.

I would have to say Mushihimesama. I remember seeing the last boss on Maniac mode on YouTube, and I automatically got the game myself. 2nd would have to be Espgaluda, but only the final boss because I died like 5 times on it!

The easiest to me is Giga Wing... Come on, reflect and bomb? How easy could it get? I only die sometimes by the most randomest hits ever.

For me right now, I'm trying to crack at the hardest levels on Psyvariar Revision for PS2. I cant for the love of god get to level 80 by stage 3 to get the extra stage 3C nor get the final XD stage by having a level 218 ship. Phew, this game is tough but very fun and addictive.

ESPgaluda and Mushihimesama (maniac mode anyways) both feel pretty easy to me. Especially after playing Dodonpachi: DAI OU JOU -_^ Which is easily my hardest shooter. I'm pretty close to a 1cc in ESPgaluda, and can make it to chapter 4 fairly consistantly in Mushi maniac mode after only a few hours of play. DDP: DOJ is just brutal though. I'd honestly consider Mars Matrix to be harder than either ESP or Mushi as well, but that could be due in part to the fact that it was my second 1cc, and I didn't have nearly as much shmup experience as I do now. I should whip it out again just to see how I feel about it now ^_^
