Character actions games. DMC series DMC1,3,4,5. Bayonetta Series. Astral Chain. Metal Gear Rising. No More Heroes. Gungrave franchise. And more.
Shmups. People kow Ikaruga. Radiant Silvergun but I also love Duel Gear and dozens and dozens more in the genre. We can put Nex Machina in there. Astebreed. I also love the 16-bit era ones. From MUSHA to Gaiares. Thunderforce. Gleylancer. Saturn/PS1 from Sōkyūgurentai to G Darius. Batsugun. Psyvariar 2. Cannon Spike. Gunbird. Zero Gunner 2. List goes on forever and too many to name. As for Lords of Thunder. Tell me this doesn't pump you up while playing a thrilling game! SO FUCKING METAL!
Games like Sin n Punishment and the sequel Star Sucessor beat SEGA at their own Genre! Other greats ones in the genre of course like Panzer Dragoon. REZ. Space Harrier. Planet Harriers. Edge of Skyhigh.
Then we have Run N Guns. Everyone knows Contra and of course Contra 1. 3. Hard Corps. Uprising all great but don't forget Neo. Then my fave is Assault Suit Leynos otherwise known as Target Earth on Genesis. The PS4 and PC got an excellent remake. It got some great sequels. Assault Suit Valken otherwise known as Cybernator in the US. Gunstar Heroes is another classic. We all know Metal Slug. I should mention Assault Suit Leynos is not an easy game by any stretch but man is it awesome. Original feels dated now but is on Genesis NSO. I still reccomend the remake. Often cheap on PSN and Steam.
