Up to 70% off Crimzon Clover, Raiden series, Raptor: Call of Shadows and more!


PEW. PEW PEW. PEW. BWOOM! PEW PEW. BWOOOOM!
Is that confetti? No, it's a sea of bullets! It's a sea of flashing death-balls, missiles, laser beams and god-knows-whats coming right at you from every possible direction. You're surrounded by your impending doom - it'd be morbid if it wasn't so spectacular. Weekly Staff Picks: SHMUPS is that time of the week when we assault you with up to 70% off on some of the deadliest spectacles around.

The top three Crimzon Clover: World Ignition reviews call it "The BEST indie shmup on the PC", "Best shmup on PC" and a "Fine shmup". Are you feeling it yet? Go look at those screenshots, come back, did you see a game underneath all the SHMUP? Probably not, but that's the point we're making here - there is no shame in flying blind.
For a look at what lies behind the SHMUP historically, check out Raiden III. It leaves the insanity of bullet hell for the new kids on the block, opting for a modern, smooth, and precise experience with a classic formula. A revival of the classic Raiden series, and a "Fine shmup" in its own right.

SHMUP 'em all up with up to 70% off on Raiden Legacy, Raptor: Call of Shadows, and Humans Must Answer in Weekly Staff Picks: SHMUPS. The promo will last until Thursday, February 12, at 10:59 AM GMT.








<span class="bold">Weekly Staff Picks on Twitch</span>
Come down with us to the depths of bullet hell! MegaPiemanHD is taking on Raiden III in his Weekly Staff Picks Spotlight tonight! That's Monday, January 9, at 7:00 PM GMT / 2:00 PM EST / 11:00 AM PST on Twitch.tv/gogcom.

Not my cup of tea at all, won't be picking up anything this time.

No comments yet? Oh well...

I wonder if we'll ever gonna get the DOS version of Raptor here...

high rated
Please bring back the link to game pages in the titles of the games. There is no reason why we should scroll to the other side of the screen to access the full game info.

Raiden III kicks ass! I definitely recommend it. It's really nice for co-op.

Crimzon Clover has been under my radar but I'll pass for now.

Nice promo.

Good, wallet is safe for the Star Wars HB...

I have more of these than I want now... I'm sure someone will like these though (I'm just not good at them)

Not my cup of tea BUT I wanted to point out to anyone who hasn't, if you love these games, for sure check out these titles but ALSO ALSO ALSO check out your free copy of Tyrian. It's IMHO the best SHMUP here, and that's not taking away from these games which are very worth owning in their own right. :D

I like shmups, but the ones on GoG I either already have played or don't really like.

I kind of loved horizontal shmups, but ever since Thunder Force IV it feels like nothing really great was released in that genre (well okay, Gradius V was nice).

I was expecting that. I knew you wouldn't miss an occasion to talk about Tyrian and pull the topic out of its course :-)

Edit : but yeah, don't buy tyrian, it's free so just get and play it !

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition is one of the best shumps windows has to offer.

Nothing for me this time. GOG just a quick note - I had Win8 tablet this weekend at home and I couldn't get to the game cards from promo page. Looks there is no 'mouse over' event on it - so I cannot invoke menu on right part of the screen. I don't know if it's this particular device or problem for tablets in general.

I might have to think about getting Crimzon Clover. I love SHMUPs, but I'm rather satisfied with Tyrian and the occasional round of Raiden Legacy.

When IsThereAnyDeal claims your top wishlist item hasn't been on sale in over a year, I suppose it's time to give up hope of that happening.
