VASARA Collection

Vasara Collection is a title released by the Brazilian studio QUByte Interactive (99Vidas), which brings together the two games in the Vasara series. A "spaceship" game, where we shoot and dodge the thousands of shots fired by enemies. We collect items to increase our firepower and collect crystals to charge our special attack, Vasara.

体力ゲージ性を採用すべきだった残念なゲームです。自機のドデカ判定がやる気を失わせてくれます。中盤までは遊べなくもないのですが、ラス面のコンテニュー時最初からと解ってからやる気なくなりました。どこかぐわんげを移植してくれないか。

２のキチっている難易度。 ラス面コンテ最初からって。 CAVEだってコンティニューさせてくれるぜ！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

Acheté sur Xbox en premier, puis sur PC pour voir, j'aime beaucoup. Dans l'achat, il y a le premier, le deuxième, et une nouvelle version, le tout tournant nickel, même sur ma modeste machine. Je préfère le 1, le 2 est pour moi qu'une relecture de son aîné. C'est un jeu qui est difficile, mais oh combien bien fait, je bute toujours sur le dernier niveau, j'arrive au boss, pis plus de vies. Retour à la case départ. Ce n'est pas mon shmup préféré, mais de temps en temps, j'aime bien m'y replonger, avec un stick arcade, ça a encore plus de saveurs.

this is what retro gaming is all about one of an infinite library of great retro classics

买来就后悔了，摸你做的一拖四，原创宽屏版关卡做的一拖四。

Jogo bem divertido, da até pra jogar com 2 player local, muito bom e nostálgico, e MUITO DOIDOO kkkk

✍️ A Theory of Shmup Evolution By: Joseph Salomonsen Gradius → R‑Type → Darius → Toaplan → Cave / Treasure / G.rev 🟨 Foundations — Designed Space Gradius (Konami, 1985) The origin of control: resource systems, checkpoints, and authored space. The player shapes their ship to survive the level. R‑Type (Irem, 1987) The Force system: space becomes weaponized. A slow, methodical philosophy—positioning over reflex. Darius (Taito, 1987) Branching structure and spectacle. The first step toward non-linear shmup identity. 🟥 Line 1 — Density → Pattern → Bullet Hell (Toaplan → Cave) Twin Cobra (Toaplan, 1987) The definitive military shooter. Discipline, routing, survival. (my personal fave) Truxton / Tatsujin (Toaplan, 1988) The birth of the “Mega-Bomb” aesthetic—power as expression. Batsugun (Toaplan, 1993) The bridge to Bullet Hell. Density begins to dominate space. DoDonPachi (Cave, 1997) The system is complete. Patterns become language. Mushihimesama (Cave, 2004) The organic extreme. Bullets form ecosystems, not just obstacles. Deathsmiles (Cave, 2007) A divergence: horizontal design fused with atmosphere. Bullet hell becomes mood, not just system. 🟩 Line 2 — Weight → Realism → Physicality (Seibu → G.rev) Raiden II / DX (Seibu, 1993) The peak of “Heavy Metal” sprite-work. Industrial, grounded, uncompromising. Under Defeat (G.rev, 2005) The final expression of the military shmup. Momentum, recoil, and battlefield physics replace abstraction. Here: space > bullets weight > pattern movement > memorization 🟦 Line 3 — Mechanics → Abstraction → Philosophy (Iuchi Lineage) Hiroshi Iuchi ❤️ Radiant Silvergun → Judgment Silversword → Ikaruga → Kokuga → Ubusuna Treasure → M‑KAI → G.rev → M2 Radiant Silvergun (Treasure, 1998) The maximalist foundation. A shmup with layered systems and narrative ambition rarely seen in arcades. Judgment Silversword (M‑KAI, 2004) The technical bridge. The “Silver” philosophy reduced to pure system and code. Ikaruga (Treasure, 2001) The minimalist apex. Seven weapons collapse into one binary system: Black or White. The “chess” of shmups. Kokuga (G.rev, 2012) The tactical pivot. The ship becomes a tank. Weight replaces speed. Strategy replaces reaction. Ubusuna (M2, 2025/2026) The philosophical return. A synthesis of polarity and modern standards—a reflection on the lineage itself. ✅ Synthesis Shmups do not evolve in a single line. They fragment into three competing philosophies: Toaplan → Cave = density / pattern / abstraction of space Seibu → G.rev = weight / realism / physical presence Treasure → Iuchi = system / reduction / philosophy All of them emerge from: Gradius = designed systems R‑Type = controlled space Darius = structural possibility ✅ Final statement From Gradius’ authored space to Cave’s infinite bullet fields, from Iuchi’s compression of systems to G.rev’s return to physicality— The shmup is not just reflex, but a philosophy of dynamic control.
