Aren't most 2D Action games about shooting stuff?

>Why aren't there that many first person and third person shooters?
Really?

There's like three entire genres focused around that concept, ESL
James Baker
Play cannon spike. Its all you need.
Nathan Edwards
Whats the difference between this and a twin stick. This just looks like a hades boss fight with a different perspective. The reticle never uses the y axis so it’s just 2D
Anthony Clark
Phosphora best girl

Thinking along the lines of more slower moving, projectile-based combat versus hitscan guns from traditional FPSs and TPSs.
I can't think of many pure action games that base their combat system around projectiles. Most either use ranged weapons as a supplement to the melee, or are tradtional shooters with hitscan weapons/realistic guns.

The Mega Man series

I'm going to be making something like this but with PC controllers so it'll actually be decent and not auto lock-on garbage.
Brody Smith
>auto lock-on garbage
point at this mongoloid and laugh
Nicholas Diaz
I LOVE RANGED ATTACKS

KIU isn't autolock-on, you control the recital with the touchscreen.
It's really fucking fluid.
William Russell
Little Witch Nobeta comes out in three weeks or so. Also Onirism.
Gabriel Flores
isn't nier like that? might not be entirely centered around projectiles but ranged combat is definitely an important part of the gameplay
Adam Jenkins
Good call. Mega Man is more of an action-platformer than purely an action game though
Eli Lopez
if first person perspective is ok then ultrakill and gunfire reborn have great bossfights you engage mostly at range
monster hunter counts too with LBG/HBG/Bow gameplay if that's your thing
Christian Clark
I'm still surprised we haven't really gotten a KIU clone the gameplay was fun
Hudson Adams
It look complicated to play, is it good ?
Adrian Miller
I love Huntresses so much
Mason Harris
it's akshually surprisingly simple, it's like smash bros in that all the attacks are combinations of directional inputs on the stick and one attack button, and you aim with the touch screen
and yes it's very good, one of the best action games of the last decade

I was about to say the same. It succeeded because of sakurai and the Nintendo brand though, not because it was KI. It could’ve been Starfox and still would’ve done well
Ayden Johnson
Can you emulate this well?
