If you were expecting me to gush praise on #GGAleste 3, well, based on my last toot, yeah, you'd be absolutely right.
Sweet Jesus, I love GG3. It really is a marvel of passion and understanding the limits of the hardware. What could have been a simple HD #Aleste game as it was made to be packaged into the Aleste collection released on 2020, for Switch and PS4, was actually a game that was designed to be run on the #GameGear
I was blown away by GG2, and GG3 takes those graphical enhancements and cranks the dial way past 11. It is a beautiful game. It will also viciously beat you and make you want more 🤣
Sadly, I didn't 1CC this game under default conditions, I had to crank the initial lives a little higher, but I definitely want to try it, not just for that sweet RetroAchievement but for my own sense of accomplishment.
If you love shumps, I implore you to give this game a play! So far, my absolute favourite!

Y'know how I called #GGAleste 1 cosy? Well, GG2 is anything but that.
It features a brutal hot opening, first time you will likely lose a life or two at the mayhem that infests your screen in the first few moments.Other than that, the game is great. Visually, it is a big step up from the first GG game, and your arsenal is improved. As an added bonus, collecting enough power chips will give you a shield that can absorb one hit at no cost. It's very generous, but you will need it as the enemies come thick and fast, and the bosses are not to be taken lightly. Especially that one is the pictures below.
The game also features two additional difficulties, one called mania... I dare not try that one... It was bad enough trying to one continue clear the game on normal! Perhaps I will give it a look at at some point.
For a #GameGear game, this is a treat to play and would probably be the favourite in the #Aleste series, but...

So, the last week or so has been quite the quest to play through as many of the #Aleste games as possible. In fact, as of last night, I finished all the games that are bundled into the Aleste collection that came out on 2020.
Of these, the #GameGear games were my favourite. #GGAleste 1 (Galvanic Gunner, not Game Gear) is a pretty cosy SHMUP, which starts much harder than it ends. In fact I think the first level is the longest, and japes you with a mid boss that could normally be an end stage boss.
You are quite fragile in this game, with no safety blankets unlike later games. One wrong move and your weapon power level drops by one, which can be a slippery slope to game over.
But nothing that a small bit of practice can't solve, or using the D-Weapon which gives you an orbiting projectile that destroys some enemy bullets!
Seriously, this was an absolute joy to play! Even on the harder difficulty setting!
