Cloud Cutter (PC)

Kind of an unknown game on Steam right now if the reviews are any indication. Cloud Cutter is a shmup that leans more on 19XX and Raptor games than touhou. It's all about blowing shit up and feeling good about it instead of dodging insane patterns. There's alot of modernized qol improvements such as different kinds of bullet colors, realistic enemies and explosions, depth (bullets and enemies getting bigger the nearer they approach you), and the most controversial change a health bar with enemies dropping health upon death when you get too low. Luckily you can change the latter in the options menu.

The game has no story and no context. You start, and you have 13 missions to complete. With the way the last one ended, I feel like there should be more on the way and in fact the devs have expressed a DLC or two. But tbh, this is a very valiant effort and a sub-genre to shmups that takes you back to the arcade days. It might not be Mars Matrix or Jamestown, but its got its own thing goin on.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
