How did you like it OP? I enjoyed but I have to say it's not my favorite. There's certain stuff like the ships in the lava level that shoot so fast that it's almost impossible to react. Or things that randomly spawn from behind you. Kind of felt like a "memorizer hell" to me at times. Which is true of all shmups, yes, but I prefer verticals like Soldier Blade and Space Megaforce more where it's more about memorizing broad strategies and a boss attack here and there instead of things that feel like traps.

Overall, it's been a really good year for me so far. Been really loving the PC Engine library a ton and balancing out my shmups with JRPGs. Both genres get trashed here a lot which immediately inspired me to try and enjoy them lol.

>How did you like it
Thought it was awesome but my overall shump experience is limited. I played it until frustrating a few years back so I already had quite a bit memorized going back into it. A little too generous with the amount of continues iMo. Only part that I thought was unfair was the lava stage with the moving land that blocks you in or crushes you. No way anyone can beat that one going in blind and not losing a few lives.

There are people that enjoy shmups for the strange concept of fun and aren't elitist about 1cc'ing them so they can get Internet credz

Sorry I miss-read your post but still - if you are finding it frustrating then it might be worth trying something else. When the fun stops, stop.

LighTENing Force. How did they fuck up so hard?

>a lot harder
I can tell. Made it past the initial first 4 stages, the space stage, and finally used up the last of my continues on the artic water stage. Gotta say so far I'm very impressed. Game is absolutely gorgeous and the soundtrack is amazing. What a testosterone ride. Pretty sure my voice got deeper and my cock grew 3" playing this gem.

>fuck up
this is a pretty easy way to avoid getting trademark sued because of such a generic name, who knows what toy or book or show has Lightning Force as a title.

>Sega of America did a name change for Thunder Force IV
Why did they not want to make it obvious that this was the sequel to Thunder Force III? TF1 was only on japanese computers and they didn't have a problem with releasing TF2 as-is. TF2 was a shitty one because of the overhead levels. If they wanted to break away from the crappy games in the series they should have called TF3 something else. Too late and pointless doing it with 4.

Did some snooping on jewggle and I couldn't find any concrete evidence on why the name change but I did find this comment which is probably the overall reason:
>They tried to change the name because they correctly realized that lightning is better than thunder, seemingly ran into copyright issues, and decided to do something stupid.
