Prolly 80% of the stuff on my steam deck is shmups bc it's the only gender of games I can really stick with bc scrolling shooter shit in a spaceship is timeless and quick to jump into. Idk care if it's anime horse shit like mushihimesama since its cave., most shmups own. I'm trying to find new stuff I haven't played before since I got this thing again. I got rtype final 2, all of the cave games, dariusburst, that fantastic crimson clover and a few others including shit on mame but I need more recs
What's the deal with those tofu or whatever games. I don't care about the neurodivergent weeb fandom, are the games actually good shooters and what are the good ones to get

IDK how far into them you are, but try Blue Revolver if you are just getting into the genre.
Or just play it in general, it's essentially a much easier version of Dodonpachi

If you want some crazy shit, play Hellsinker but note it'll probably play like butt on Steamdeck until you bind it correclty

I don't recomend buying the Touhou on steam because
1. Zun never puts them on sale and 15/game is fricking murder
2. Essential features like practice modes for bosses don't exist and have to be modded in for the older games, you are better off playing them on PC if you are interested.
As far as gameplay issues go: Typically in every 2hu you are over flooded with bombs/resources and the stage design is often lazy, games often have at least a few methods of cheesing out 1CCs that you didn't earn
If you do end up buying any of them, buy Wily Beast or Unconnected Marketeers.
