Just what the title says, both Danmaku Unlimited and Storm Strikers will be on sale tomorrow (or now in some parts of the world) for 0.99USD for one week! Check out DU1 for cheap before DU2 comes out later this winter!
If you're even remotely interested in bullet hell titles, here's two MUST own titles. DU is easily one of the best on the iOS, and Storm Strikers is a massively hardcore shmup with some pretty nice difficulty and challenge. Both are highly recommended.
+1 These are arguably in the top tier of shmups in the app store, right up alongside giants like CAVE.

IPHONE AC "とにかく高クオリティーなシューティングです" - This is simply a high quality shooter ###Danmaku Unlimited### The wait is over! Inspired by the best of 2D shooter games such as the Touhou series and other doujin games from Japan, Danmaku Unlimited is an authentic bullet hell shooter experience on a level that is rarely available on mobile devices! Set in the not so distant future, Danmaku Unlimited places you in a world that is gripped by destruction, caused by the will of nature to cleanse the earth of mankind that for long has been abusing her gifts. The manifestation of her wrath comes in the form of six goddesses, or Valkyrias. As beautiful as they are deadly, they wield the power to transform and re-purpose man's creation to their cause. As humanity crumple against nature's righteous onslaught, will you, the only Valkyria that still sees hope in mankind, fight to give humans a second chance? Or will humanity receive the judgement it so deserves? ###Requirements### -firmware 4.1 or newer ###Optimized for### -iPhone4/4th gen iTouch ###Minimum### -iPhone 3GS/3th gen iTouch and above (the game may run on older devices but not at a desirable level of performance, please download the lite version to try it out on your device first) -as this is a graphically intensive game that requires a lot of processing power, it may be necessary to change the graphic settings of the game to a lower level on older devices.

Mostly due to the abstract graphics kind of like dodonpachi maximum. Storm strikers looks more like a regular bullet hell. Also like the music better in danmaku. Both are bullet hells. Both are good, if you like danmaku, you will also probably like storm strikers too.

But really, they are pretty close, they seem similar, the theme is a little different. Storm strikers seems more like a regular shmup while danmaku is more space and retro oriented. Both good, get both. sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,936 0 0 #16 sapphire_neo, Nov 27, 2012 I wouldn't describe Storm Strikers as a regular shmup. It's not 'bullet-hell' as much as it is laser-hell. The lasers make it one of the most unique shmups I've ever played.
