Some useless trivia: What the hell is a "Garegga"?

"Battle Garegga" is the name of one of the attacks of the Super Robot Combattler V.

I can't fucking see anything when I play this game, it feels like I just explode randomly. I'd play the revision that actually makes some of the bullets halfway visible but then I feel like a pussy

Garegga is a fun survival shmup but you'd have to be retarded to play it for score, it's too broken and the milking isn't fun, particularly st3 boss and its infamous glitch.

Op here. Just visiting my thread.

Hard for me to elaborate exactly why I love battle Garegga so much. Im not a huge shmup guy but i really feel this is one where everything feels just right. I will say the music is awesome and the graphics are beautiful, transitions between stages is very seamless, the game has some really neat weapons esp when youre playing multiplayer, and overall it's just a really frenetic experience that gets my blood pumpin'

Another shmup i like a lot is boogie wings / great ragtime show: https://youtu.be/zBJaVkJdvsc

>> No.6160993

>>6160985
Oh and to continue my thought, i think one thing thats really helped this game stick with me is the atmosphere. I really feel the music perfectly suits what's happening on screen and tells its oen story in a way. There's little graphical details that help give it a really gritty feel too, like the shrapnel that flies off of baddies and the more releastic looking bullets (even tho theyre pretty hard to see sometimes)

the PS4 port fixes it (im' talking about the actual invisible bullets due to sprite limitations, not the overused scrubby comments about this game from ppl who didnt try playing past the first 30 minutes - but eh, ps4 port even allows you to make bullets pink an shiny so I guess it fixes that too)
