Danmaku vs Manic Shmups
[edit]It's my understanding that these are not the same thing. Manic shmups are, well, manic in nature i.e. very fast paced games that rely on your reflexes, whereas danmaku simply has tons of bullets on the screen at the same time. Touhou for example, is a very slow paced danmaku shooter. It rewards thinking and strategy as opposed to twitch reflexes.
Nuclear Throne image
[edit]Is this really the best representation of the genre that could be posted here? It seems like it was put here by the game's creator for a free ad. Why not R-Type or Star Soldier or something people have actually played and would recognize?
First Person 3D Run and gun or Shoot 'em up
[edit]Can such game series as Catacomb 3d, Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Serious Sam, Painkiller and the like be considered First Person 3D Run and gun or Shoot 'em up? Unlike tactical, cooperative and multiplayer shooters, here the protagonist has superior firepower, can confront a large number of opponents at once and is often forced to destroy everyone in order to move on to the next stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.100.119.124 (talk) 11:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
