As shallow as it may sound, for a shmup to be truly great and breakthrough it needs to have compelling visuals and style. In this video, I explain my thoughts on why graphics are essential to shmups and how visuals directly influence gameplay beyond just cues and that sort of thing. The game played in the video is the visually beautiful Touhou Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II and here is the link to buy it on Steam:
