| 5/30/26 | ![]() Episode 094 - Mecha Ritz (April 2026) | In episode 094, MetalFRO and Addicted dig heavily into the mechanics, scoring, and complexities of a bullet hell shmup that might seem straightforward on the surface, but like an onion, has many layers underneath. HEY's Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo is approachable, but as you put a lot of time into it, you realize just how much game there is, despite its short length. | — | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | ![]() Episode 093 - Natsuki Chronicles (March 2026) | In episode 092, MetalFRO and Addicted talk at length about Natsuki Chronicles, an indie shoot-em-up from a company more associated with medical technology than video games. But their development team has a passion for STG, so they have released a handful over time, including this game which pairs with their earlier title Ginga Force in a tangled web of storytelling. But does the game live up to the storyline? | — | ||||||

| 6/1/25 | ![]() Episode 082 - Sol Cresta (April 2025) | In episode 082, MetalFRO and Addicted dig into a game initially teased as an April Fool's joke. What the rest of the world didn't know, however, was that this was a real game actually being developed, not just an elaborate hoax. A year later, it was officially announced, and was out within less than a year after that. Platinum Games' Sol Cresta made waves, and we're here to talk about it! | — | ||||||
| 4/30/25 | ![]() Episode 081 - Kyuukyoku Tiger / Twin Cobra | In episode 081, MetalFRO and Addicted explore a very important game within the shooter genre, a venerable classic tnat set the template for many shmups to come, and still holds influence today. Toaplan's Kyuukyoku Tiger, better known as Twin Cobra in the West, was a chief inspiration for dozens of subsequent STG and is rightfully held in high regard. But does it hold up? We discuss that and more! | — | ||||||
| 4/8/25 | ![]() Episode 080 - Razion EX | In episode 080, MetalFRO and Addicted get into an updated Nintendo Switch release that retools an earlier game that originally released on the Neo Geo in 2015. Razion EX takes the original Neo Geo version and adds some quality of life improvements as well as some slight retooling of a few things. Is it worth your time? Hopefully we can help you determine that answer! | — | ||||||
| 3/12/25 | ![]() Episode 079 - Silpheed (January 2025) | In episode 079, MetalFRO and Addicted explore 2 different games with the same name. Silpheed on the PC-88 was a technical achievement for its time, and the latter Sega CD version also pushed the boundaries of what shooting game could be in the audiovisual department. But are these games fun? Listen as we discuss! | — | ||||||
| 1/26/25 | ![]() Episode 078 - Resogun (December 2024) | In episode 075, MetalFRO and Addicted look back just over a decade to the launch of the PlayStation 4. At a time when the shmup genre was not seeing very many releases, Housemarque helped keep the games alive in the minds of people and keeping that arcade spirit alive. They did so with their inclusion to the PS4 launch lineup with their Defender-inspired shooting game, Resogun. | — | ||||||
| 1/10/25 | ![]() Episode 077 - Pocky & Rocky Reshrined (November 2024) | In episode 075, MetalFRO and Addicted step away slightly from the usual fare of dogfighting and blasting aliens for a mystical, whimsical adventure romp through the shmup-adjacent game that is Pocky & Rocky Reshrined. This latest outing from Tengo Project and Natsume Atari revives the SNES classics in a fresh way, while still staying true to the spirit of what made the originals so well loved. | — | ||||||
| 12/23/24 | ![]() Episode 076 - Dariusburst (August 2024) | In episode 075, MetalFRO and Addicted bring back Darius series expert Gojiguy for a thorough examination of the Dariusburst games, specifically focusing in on the original PSP release, as well as the later Dariusburst Another Chronicle arcade game and subsequent revisions. We explore the various modes, talk scoring and strategies, and touch on some of the unique aspects of this final entry into the Darius canon. | — | ||||||
| 11/10/24 | ![]() Episode 075 - NeverAwake (October 2024) | In episode 075, MetalFRO and Addicted explore the mind of a child, figuratively speaking. In Neotro's creepy shooter NeverAwake you play as Rem, a girl fighting for her life as she battles her nightmares while her body tries to recover while in a coma. Can you help Rem overcome her inner demons and scary monsters from her subconscious come to life? | — | ||||||
| 10/6/24 | ![]() Episode 074 - Crisis Wing (September 2024) | In episode 074, MetalFRO and Addicted take a closer look at a relatively recent indie shoot-em-up game from a new studio that features a long-time developer. Though he has worked on other games in the past, this is his first venture completely on his own handling programming, design, layouts, graphics, music, and more. This is all about Crisis Wing! | — | ||||||
| 9/2/24 | ![]() Episode 073 - Darius Gaiden (July 2024) | In episode 073, MetalFRO and Addicted welcome back Gojiguy from Control All Monsters to continue to explore the Darius series! Specifically, we're looking at the 3rd arcade outing in the series, and the 1st to utilize only a single screen. Darius Gaiden might have been a side story for the series, but many consider it the point at which the Darius games really came into their own. | — | ||||||
| 7/21/24 | ![]() Episode 072 - Darius (June 2024) | In episode 072, MetalFRO and Addicted welcome series super-fan Gojiguy from Control All Monsters to discuss the first in a legendary series of shooting games from also legendary developer and publisher, Taito. What made the original Darius so iconic, and does it still hold up today? We discuss that and more! | — | ||||||
| 6/18/24 | ![]() Episode 071 - GanaBlade (May 2024) | In episode 071, MetalFRO and Addicted dive into GanaBlade, from LKKGame. This new game is the debut commercial release from a pretty new doujin team, and marks the start of what could be a promising developer, given what's on offer with this game. Is it worth your time? Listen and find out! | — | ||||||
| 5/15/24 | ![]() Episode 070 - Tyrian (April 2024) | In episode 070, MetalFRO and Addicted delve into a DOS shooter classic that has lived on well past its original commercial lifespan with numerous re-releases and updates. Even years after having been released as freeware, it still has a fanbase that continues to enjoy the game - it's Tyrian! | — | ||||||
