The poll question is to satisfy a curiosity of mine: out of the twin-stick shooters you played, do you enjoy the arcade, loot-grind, or roguelike ones the most? I realize that some of the games blurred the lines but try to answer to the best of your ability, it's for posterity.

Good game for about $5 on Xbox. Similar to Geometry Wars but you can last longer. Pretty barebones game though. Not a ton of variety and I think only 1 or 2 modes.

On the plus side you can turn off the spaceship shield HUD (gets in the way) and annoying computer voice in options.

Diablo 3 isn't a twin stick shooter, is it?? All the right stick does is dodge.

True, it's more like a single-stick isometric shooter

Hotline Miami and AA Cactus.

The Binding of Isaac

That's a really tough question with there being so many great games under this umbrella. Since I have to pick I'd go with arcade style. Nex Machina and Assault Android Cactus are pure bliss and I've sunk tons of hours into both. However rougelikes would be a close second - mostly due to Enter the Gungeon.

Resogun! I got really good at it. Twin sticks seem to be my thing. Housemarc? They stopped makiing them.

It's a shame. Sadly, money drives most everything. Housemarque have to consider the financial aspect, no matter how great they are at the genre. I wonder if Stormdivers will ever release?

I'm always searching for the next Gungeon or Issac.

 

[Salmon Snake]

RESOGUN.

Was my favorite game for PS4 quite a while and easily the best PS+ game.

 

[Kagero]

Super Star Dust is still the GOAT

 

[Wonko_C]

Resogun is the GOAT. I also played lots of Nex Machina, Assault Android Cactus, and Super Stardust Ultra (VR add-on)

Resogun was the one I played the most. My first platinum if I remember correctly. Such a great game.

Actually I think it's also my first platinum trophy.[

I rarely ever play these types of games so i would probably have to say resogun, geo wars 3 and halo spartan assault.
