Japenese 360 shooters in order of awesomeness

Post by DazTM »

As above really :)

I've already got Futari and Espgaluda 2 on the way, an d will most probably try to track down the rest. As I'll probably only get one a month (i'm guessing they're still quite pricy) I'd be interested to know which ones I should go after first.

Highly subjective of course, but here's my ranking:

Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5
Death Smiles
Raiden Fighters Aces
Espgaluda II Black Label
Raiden IV
Shikigami No Shiro III
Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta
Shooting Love 200X
Otomedius Gorgeous
Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label X


Great game, but don't really consider it a shooter, although it is often grouped with them:

Senko No Ronde


Coming soon:

Death Smiles II
Ketsui - Kizuna Jigoku Tachi X

Are we factoring in all of it's problems? Then yes, I can see that.

I'm not sure why DOJ would be at the bottom due to bugs, yet Futari is at the top despite having some horrible bugs.

Of course, if you absolute hate DOJ as a game, then it would make sense...

1) Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label X (yes its buggy but still an amazing game)
2) Raiden IV
3) Raiden Fighters Aces
4) Espgaluda II Black Label
5) Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5

Ketsui - Kizuna Jigoku Tachi X will probably be near the top when released.

Anything else I have missed such as Death Smiles I don't really care for to be honest.

1) Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5
2) DOJBLEX
3) Death Smiles
4) Senko no Ronde
5) Espgaluda 2

In two months it will be

1) Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5
2) Ketsui
3) Senko no Ronde DUO
4) Death Smiles II
5) Death Smiles
6) Senko no Ronde
7) Espgaluda 2

I'm beyond annoyed that DUO got pushed back a month.

1) Senko no Ronde
2) Deathsmiles
3) Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5
4) Otomedius Gorgeous
4) Raiden Fighters Aces
4) Shikigami no Shiro 3

The last 3 are more or less even to me. I enjoy them all though. Haven't played any of the other 360 shooters yet. I expect Senko DUO to become my new #1, Deathsmiles 2 will probably tie with the first one, and I have a feeling Ketsui will be above Mushi Futari.
