You don't have to splurge on the region-free ones. If you're a fan of the shoot 'em up genre, stop reading this and buy one of these games. Not coincidentally, the latter is also the most expensive region-free release of the bunch.Ĭave is a special developer.

Cave has two bad habits with their iOS marketing: 1) Making a million different versions of the same game (Espgaluda II has six different versions, varring from smartphone to arcade to HD), and 2) Adding subtitles (i.e. Mushihimesama Futari 1.Even at these low prices, perils abound.
