DoDonPachi DaiOuJou
is the fourth arcade game in Cave's DonPachi series. The history section of ''DoDonPachi Resurrection'' on iPhone calls it ''DoDonPachi Blissful Death'' in localisation. CAVE later ported the game to iOS under this localised name. Gameplay DaiOuJou follows the conventions of the previous game with only a few changes. The chaining system is intact and works in much the same way. Causing an enemy to explode fills a meter, and every enemy destroyed before the meter depletes adds to the current chain and again refills the meter. Holding the laser weapon over a large enemy will hold the meter steady and slowly accumulate hits. In this way it is possible to create a single chain out of any of the 5 stages. The controls in DaiOuJou are identical to the previous games in the series, and the same shot-laser dynamic as seen in ''Donpachi'' and ''Dodonpachi'' are also present, with spread bombs and laser bombs also making a return. However, there are only 2 ships, a narrow shot ship (Type ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shoot 'em Up
Shoot 'em ups (also known as shmups or STGs ) are a sub-genre of action games. There is no consensus as to which design elements compose a shoot 'em up; some restrict the definition to games featuring spacecraft and certain types of character movement, while others allow a broader definition including characters on foot and a variety of perspectives. The genre's roots can be traced back to earlier shooting games, including target shooting electro-mechanical games of the mid-20th-century and the early mainframe game '' Spacewar!'' (1962). The shoot 'em up genre was established by the hit arcade game ''Space Invaders'', which popularised and set the general template for the genre in 1978, and spawned many clones. The genre was then further developed by arcade hits such as ''Asteroids'' and ''Galaxian'' in 1979. Shoot 'em ups were popular throughout the 1980s to early 1990s, diversifying into a variety of subgenres such as scrolling shooters, run and gun games and rail shoote ...
