Cave and Degica announced that Mushihimesama (Bug Princess) will be launching on November 5th for Windows. Mushihimesama is described as one of the most critically acclaimed bullet hell shmups and is considered to be one of the hardest games ever made, second perhaps only to its sequel.
Mushihime Sama (“Bug Princess” in English) is a vertical shooting game set in a beautiful fantasy world. Huge insect-like creatures called Koju roam the forest outside the village of Hoshifuri.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Bullets
- 3 Game Modes
- Difficulty Settings
- Bullets
- Online Leaderboards
- 1.5 DLC and Soundtracks
- More Bullets
- MORE Bullets (you get the idea yet?)
Enjoy!

SHMUP*
in title
Going by the insane amount of shmups on Steam by now, I’d go on a limb and say that they probably are.
Can you please recommend one SHMUP ( a good one 🙂 ) ?
That’s somewhat difficult to do without knowing exactly you’ve played both within and outside of the genre, although if you plan on playing just the one for now it would need to be Ikaruga.
It has a black/white polarity system you can switch you shields between, so if you have black shields up you can absorb the bullets of black enemies, and deal more damage to white ones (and vice versa, of course). The entire game is also beatable without ever firing a shot by only absorbing attacks and surviving the bosses until they just leave. Gets quite challenging in the latter stages, but it tends to be seen as one of the essential games of the genre.
If you want to try something a bit more forgiving instead, Astebreed is probably one of the better games to begin with.
Yeah , i think i’ve heared about Ikaruga but forgot about it. Difficulty is no problem so i think i’ll try it. Thanks mate!
