Now here's a rather interesting title out of Korea that I'm 99.99% sure that we will never see here in the States.
Valkyrie Sky is, as far as I can tell, the world's first cross over between the MMO and Shoot 'Em Up genre.
You can do all the MMO stuff like picking a class, designing your character, finding quests and joining up with parties. Once you go into battle though, it's mostly Shoot 'Em Up style with a side of MMO magic and summoning spells. As you defeat enemies, you of course get items to which you can use or sell to upgrade your character. And you can go on boss raids too.
There's
a story to the game, but Google Translator failed me (it worked so well for
my Spanish yesterday). What do you all think of the game? Personally, I can't wait for a
DDR Golf Flight sim game to come out ... That would be
bananas.

To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

there is already some cute style shoot'em up in koera
Also, doesn´t this sound a wee bit like Hellgate:london? I tried the alpha build for a few hours, and the gun classes were really shoot´em ups, point and fire kind of gameplay. It´s not a full mmo tho, it´s mostly instanced.
Also, its like Gauntlet on a Plane.
I'd rent it.
And remember Destructoid crew/readers, I'm always around if you want to talk shmups. ;)
Yeah I know it is a book series by Robert Jordan, but what I was referring to was the unreal engine powered game , the manual actually advises you not to 'fireball jump' in the multiplayer maps as there are LOTS of places to get stuck in
okay ive just watched the video... its all nice and good, going around town , choosing your character , picking up a quest (huh why are people zipping into the air) , you know all that boring RPG stuff, and then the action began... like, i thought is this some kind of shoot em up game or something? this has nothing to do with FPS , theres no first person perspective anywhere ... theres no comparison with planetside or neocron or WoT , and it could have just as well have a sci fi setting like gundam or macross or anything involving fighting and flying at the same time ... half of this is from those soul draining sleep depriving life destroying mmorpgs, and the other half is a coin op top down arcade shooter

But be warned, it wants to install some Hangame software on your pc. Doesn't appear to be hostile though....
I'm guessing the game is set up as online distribution, since when you click on the "play game" button it takes you to a login screen. Anyone willing to try to sing up and navigate Korean is welcome to try it out....;)
Oh no, you got your World of Warcraft in my shoot em up!
Yikes, you got your shoot em up in my World of Warcraft!
Lets make a candy bar......
