    as always, he's anxiously awaiting news on Ubusuna he also bigs up Cygni, which he claimed for free on Epic last yr but only played this yr—the game itself is dull and raw & un-STG-like, but it's pretty & he generously chose to view it thru the lens of "the aliens came to kill, not entertain!"

    Hey, big mainstream game reviewers. Put your money where your mouth was back when Cygni came out, buy a copy of EarthioN (ie. support an indie dev since probably this time you won't get the game for free) and review it. You're all missing out on a legit awesome game.

    WIP of a 3D model/rig for Delta Cygni! I’m trying to strengthen my portfolio because I’m applying for video game animator internships, and so I thought it would be fun to make another model :)

    The greatest trick Cygni: All Guns Blazing ever pulled was convincing mainstream game reviewers the shmup genre was dead.

    Shmups are doing well. Any game that tries to be avant-garde by disregarding fundamentals ends up being ignored and flopping, like Cygni: All Guns Blazing from 2024. Contrast that to beat 'em ups where a game gets a better reception the more it plays like Devil May Cry and less like Final Fight.

    🛠️CO-DEV & SMART PORTING From game-of-the-year indie mega hits like #Inscryption, to stunning graphical showcases like CYGNI to physics driven sandboxes like #DeliverAtAllCosts. HueyCore has unpinned the porting, optimisation and networking integration of dozens of games on all platforms. 2/10

    CYGNI: All Guns Blazing... everything about this game is wrong. All of the wrong areas are polished, yet the gameplay is painfully slow + bland + uninspired with dreadfully long levels and terrible bullet patterns by any shmup standard. It's disrespectful to real SHMUPS; Play Crimzon Clover.

    "Cygni: All Guns Blazing" quick review: I haven't even bothered to finish it yet despite installing it 2 weeks ago and it being like a 2-hour game for one run through, but it did get me to buy Ikaruga to make sure I still enjoyed shooters. Turns out Cygni's just not a good one of those

    CYGNI was really good fun. Very hard, had to play on easy but I love the nostalgia any twin stick shooter game gives me. Felt so nice. game.page/cygni/CamronJK #Ad but I really wanted to play this! :p

    Did you know that Konami published what is easily the most graphically impressive shoot 'em up of all-time and barely anyone has played it, let alone heard of it? It was given away for free on Epic at release. The game is called "CYGNI: ALL GUNS BLAZING". www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ea6...

    Won't name the game but I bought a 2024 best selling title that I wanted for a while and have been severely disappointed with it, ended up double dipping on the euro shmup CYGNI on Xbox last night & had a lot more fun.

    Tbh, I'm not exclusively talking difficulty when I dunk on "tourism" but general encompassing design missteps. If people had their way and these games were made for "mass appeal", every game would just be flaccid, RPG'd junk like Tyrian, Cygni, or Steredenn.

    I think that ever since Super Bomberman R 2, Konami as both a developer and publisher has really been turning it around on game releases. I just couldn't really tell until I saw the continued support for MGS Master Collection and when Cygni dropped and I loved it.

  • OrangeRight @orangeright.bsky.socialBluesky · Aug 9, 2024

    Alright, I guess I'll try #Cygni out since it's free on the Epic Games Store. Critics say it's the game that's breathing new life to shmups! Shmup fans say it's a pile of crap! As someone who grew up with Tyrian and Raptor Call of the Shadows, I'd like to think I would have an open mind.

    CYGNI: All Guns Blazing I remember this game being on my wishlist for well over a year, then I bought it last year, and only now do I play it. It looks exactly what you'd expect a shmup built on UE4 to look like, gameplay is incredibly frantic, and I like the mix of ground and air shooting.
