Best FREE Shoot Em Ups

What are the Best FREE Shoot Em Ups you can play right now? Find out with my top recommendations for the best free shmups on PC, Steam, Nintendo Switch and PS4 eshops, even mobile gaming for android and iphone. From bullet hell homages of Cave's Dodonpachi, to retro game clones of Konami's Gradius and Parodius, there's an incredible selection of shooters waiting to be discovered. Some look and play like some of the best pc engine and mega drive shmups, while others copy arcade and Sega Saturn STGs. They are passion projects by fans of shoot em ups, made by fans of shoot em ups, that often take years of development, and sometimes result in games so good you can't believe they're free.
