The BEST indie shmup on the PC
Astebreed may be the prettiest indie shmup, but from a gameplay perspective, Crimzon Clover is the best indie shmup of all time. (Hellsinker is a very close second). Crimzon Clover is a plotless affair borrowing liberally from titles ranging from Rayforce to Dodonpachi. You start with a standard forward bullet spray, and lock-on tracking shots. As you destroy enemies rapidly, you build up a power meter that can be used for a screen clearing bomb with a half bar, and with a full bar you can trigger Break Mode, where your weapons become superpowered for a limited time and the scoring multiplier is doubled. Cause enough havok quickly enough to refill the bar during Break Mode and you can trigger Double Break Mode which increases your weapon power even further, and doubles your scoring multiplier once again in a glorious display of number confetti. Many reviewers throw around the word "Bullet Hell" frivolously to refer to any game that haphazardly throws a lot of bullets onscreen. Crimzon Clover is a perfect example of the bullet hell genre as the term is originally meant. The bullets LOOK chaotic and impossible to avoid, but if you stay calm you'll see that they don't move that fast, your ship's hitbox is smaller than its sprite, and there is a pattern to the bullets that you can navigate or even control. If you want an accomplishment to shut up your gamer pals bragging because they beat Dark Souls, tell them you beat Crimzon Clover! A very serious warning about playing any type of arcade game on your PC, but especially shmups: Credit Feeding is equivalent to playing a FPS with the god cheat on. Of course it's boring and easy to play that way. Your first goal in any of these games is to be able to clear the whole game in a single credit (1CC). This is not the kind of game you play to watch pretty movies and be told you're the world's biggest badass because you hit "square" when prompted. Do you REALLY think you're up to this level of challenge?
