Popular Post cris3f Posted December 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) WARNING This list is utterly obsolete. I did it completely for my own use and shared it as it could be helpful to others. I have an up to date list that I maintain (and will as long as I can) that as of Jun 2022 is around 3 times as long as this one. For the few interested it's here: https://bit.ly/3HHQg89 I also have one for puzzle games, another group of games I'm very fond of, here: https://bit.ly/3OgO8qo Maintaining them in 2 places is a PITA. Take care, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a fan of twin stick, top down and scrolling shooters, which is a niche, I found it awfully difficult to find information on what's really available for the PS4, Vita and PS3. In my quest I even found quite a few I didn't even knew that existed, and that the PS4 has quite a reasonable list. Probably not many fans here of the genre, but considering how much time I spent digging this perhaps it's useful for other people. I divided the list between twin stick shooters (mostly top down ones), scrolling shooters and other that exactly don't fall on either side or have strong ideas besides shooting. If anyone wants to contribute to the list it will be nice, as the list is not yet complete, notably on PS3 games. I will update the list with suggestions or new items I find, but will not add any FPS shooters. Some of these games are pretty esoteric and are not available on all regions, so check US, EU (or UK)and Asia. It does help a lot to have accounts on the 3 regions, as the price differences on sale and their frequency can be huge. WARNING These genres are generally known for mostly hard to extremely hard games to get trophies. EVEN BIGGER WARNING This is a comprehensive list so some games here will be a piece of junk, or have bugged or impossible trophies. There's no endorsement by me or anyone on this thread on any of the games so do some research before jumping into a obscure title. I'll try to add relevant delisting and no longer possible information where available.

AJ_Radio Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Super Stardust HD was the first game to ever get a trophy list. Super Stardust Delta is the Vita exclusive, both made by Housemarque. Super Stardust Ultra on the PS4 is basically more of the same, although you need a PS VR to do the DLC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) are you counting delisted games too? If so then there was Voltron on PS3 forgot when it got delisted. Also there is Warhammer 40k Kill Team not sure if it still available on PS3 or not though. Edited December 8, 2020 by Void 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cckerberos Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Don't forget the other Lara Croft game, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - 2010. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag-On-Detritus Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Great idea. Here are a few more to fill in the blanks a bit. There might be a few I'm forgetting but for now. PS4 unless noted otherwise: Anger Force Reloaded Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection Boiling Bolt (might belong in the other category) Darius Cozmic Collection: Arcade Darius Cozmic Collection: Console Dangun Feveron Freedom Finger Ginga Force Grood Gundemoniums (Vita) Ketsui (PS3 JPN only) Mahou Daisakusen Rival Megagun Rym 9000 Sisters Royale Yukinko Daisenpuu ~Sayuki to Koyuki no Hie-Hie Daisoudou (ps2 on ps4 JPN store only, belongs in 'other') I was going to mention Score Rush Extend but caught it in 'other'. Shouldn't it be in 'twin stick' or 'scrolling'?. Felt just like a regular vertical scrolling shooter with twin stick controls to me. Highly recommended in any case. There's also a bunch of good 90s ones that've come out with the Arcade Archives series on ps4 & on ps3/vita digital there are tons of ps1 shmups including some of the more expensive titles like Gaia Seed & Harmful Park. No trophies with those ofc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraightVege Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Nice, I'll almost certainly purchase something from this list! Already own a fair number of these. I'm actually playing Nex Machina now. A fantastic modern-day Robotron, but prepare to suffer on Veteran difficulty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EqualityEarth Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Off topic, but I’d like to suggest other lists to be compiled (using the “game series” part of the trophy page) such as Hidden Object/Puzzle Games and Breakout Clones. Is it possible to suggest those games to be serialized despite not having common developers, or do you just make a thread? Obviously adding games to a series page doesn’t seem like a common user function, but making a thread, though they are visible, may be so only because of who I follow. Btw I think RayStorm HD on PS3 (I could find in Hong Kong store) would go under scrolling shooter, and Fluster Cluck (PS4) under twin stick.

Helyx Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Imagine being Helldivers and being listed under "other shooters" in a thread for isometric/twin-stick shooting games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnichoj Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Retro City Rampage Party Hard Contra: Rogue Corps CrossCode Riverbond God's Trigger Gensokyo Defenders Next Up Hero Blacksea Odyssey Milanoir Circuit Breakers Worms Rumble has cross-buy with PS5 version. You have Bleed 2 but you forgot Bleed 1. Games of Glory for 'other' section. I believe the "three" Sega Collection games contain SHMUPs/twin stick shooters. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 has a hidden twin stick game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YairGOW Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'd include Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Bane999 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks much for this list, already own majority of these but always on the lookout for new shooters to play. Also I would add the SNK Anniversary Collection for PS4 side scrolling as it has several old school shooters in it. Plus anything from Arcade Archives series. Darius also has two compliations with Cozmic Arcade and Cozmic Console collection that both each feature several games over the series entire life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselmanchild Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Nice work on compiling this list, thank you! This is one genre I’ve hardly even dipped my toes into, and that needs to change. The only one I own at the moment is Resogun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main objective in Helldivers is mission goals, if you try to shoot everything you won't be successful. That is the reason why it's in the other shooters. And the reason why I don't like it, but that's not the point of the list and so it's there. Exactly the same reason why Ruiner is on the same category, as shooting unfortunately doesn't work very well in the game so it becomes secondary.

They are both from Housemarque and despite the game mechanics are a lot faster in Alienation I had equally fun with it. Both are great games ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
