PC shooters similar to Psyvariar??....

Post by dave4shmups »

Anything on Shootthecore, since none of the arcade games have been emulated, that's similar to this series?

There is that one doujin (one of Kenta Cho's, I think) which contains "modes" with gameplay similar to several commercial shmups, Psyvariar included...rRootage, was it, or am I getting the names confused?

That's the one.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

I know I played one that I found on Shoothecore, a while back, but I cannot remember the name of it.

I play Psyvariar 2 on NullDC. Runs great, just a few graphical glitches but nothing at all major.

The Kenta Cho one is Rrootage, it has a Psyvariar mode, but it's really nothing like the actual game. The only similarity is the spinning/shield mechanic. The levels aren't designed around buzzing and shielding like it is in Psyvariar, and there's no shield ramming or anything either.

Thanks for that, I really enjoyed grazing the bullets in Hayase! :D Unfortunately, I don't have Psyvariar 2, so nulldc wouldn't work for me.

@dave4shmups

You might also try Sylph Wind - it's similar to Psyvariar and quite pretty, though not finished yet.

Btw, doesn't nulldc also work with images/isos?
