Visually Disturbing Horizontal shmup?

Post by GTS »

Hey guys I'd like to ask the experts, I have played back in the 2008 a really odd one looking shmup.

It had a disturbing Graphics of mutated humans, the main character was a female oddly mutated and the levels was fleshy, gory and had bones as obstacles afaik.
Im really certain it was a Japanese developer, as the title and menus we're not in english.

It is really similar to HR Giger's artwork, http://www.hrgiger.com/
It was a nice and fast horizontal shmup. If someone knows anything please reply. Thanks!

It wasn't one of the Yakouga games was it? Or one of the other games from that dev.

Or this, didn't realise it was related to Yakouga.

Yeah, almost positive that's Galshell or one of the Yakouga games you're thinking of.

Arteisnet is the name of the dev if you want to look through the lot. Be warned though, very nsfw.

Wow, dunno how I missed Galshell. Know I've heard the title, but didn't realize it was a nasty fest. For those who have played, how is it?

Psyche Metal? But you play as an eye and not a woman.

IIRC the same developer did at least one side-scrolling shooter along the same lines, but I couldn't tell you the name off the top of my head.

While we are on this topic are there any other violent horror themed shmups? In fact what are the most violent gory shmups out there? Beyond the blood in some of Cave's stuff I can't think of much. I wouldn't mind painting the walls red in a shooter if there were some good options.

I found the game. Its Galshell: Blood red Skies.
More disturbing that I remembered, but fun as hell :D

Thanks for your help, also please try Warning Forever

I usually will play any STG regardless of visual style, so long as the gameplay itself is great.

However, Akira Goya games are where I draw the line. Too vomit-inducing for me. ;)
