why are europeans obsessed with making shitty shmups? I mean they have to know by now that they suck at making them right?

There's a few decent Euro-style shmups, although the one I meant to use as an example was developed by an American company.

I played through Last Hope Pink Bullets and really hated it, but then I played Re:Dux and thought it was alright. Haven't played Sturmwind.

This game is really cool, has the weapon system from Axelay, a bomb and there's no health bar. What didn't you like about it?

Akshully Sturmwind plays nothing like an Euroshmup, there's no ingame shop, no inertia, no life bars, no silly gimmicks. It's just a solid horizontal shmup with the weapons system from Axelay, if you take a hit you lose a weapon instead of losing a life. There's a Normal mode that autosaves and lets you start from any checkpoint and an Arcade mode that makes you play through the entire game one sitting.

Daily reminder that the soundtrack is available in highest quality from bandcamp for free.
Truly great game.
