Shmups with online leaderboards

Post by Somatzu »

Hey people! I'm looking for any shmups on any system that have online leaderboards which are updated regularly.

Specifically, I'm looking for a top-down shmup like Ikaruga with the online leaderboards like Star Soldier R.

Star Soldier R's leaderboards are organized by region and when you've achieved a new high score, the Wii connects to the internet to upload it to the right region leaderboard.

Are there other games that have something similar to this?

All the best!

All Xbox 360 shmups, including Ikaruga, have online leaderboards.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Jamestown on steam.
Ether Vapor remake (judging from the trailer) seems to have online leaderboards

Also one or two other doujins have online leaderboards although I cant think of any names atm.

Yes, that's awesome, people!

I'm checking out Jamestown right now. Any other PC shmups with leaderboard capability?

Cloudphobia, Alternative Sphere and TWIlight RefrAIN also have online scoreboards. Genetos might have them if I'm not wrong.

Beat Hazard too. Yar's Revenge should have scoreboards as well, at least on Steam but the game is bad I only mention it because I've been playing it recently.

I saw some vids of beat hazard; it didn't look too impressive, but I could be wrong. It's on sale right now on steam for around 3 bucks - worth getting?
