Any STG that isn't a bullet hell is bullet hell for beginners.

blue wish resurrection plus. It is free and very beginner friendly. Take the plus version as it slows down when there is too much shit on screen, start with the lowest difficulty and clear it with every ship. after that just work your way up. It is far from the best but really fun for a beginner

touhou 15 or chorensha

Blue Revolver is probably the best beginner shmup out there.
If you want something different but also good for beginners, try out Monolith.

I dunno, I wouldn't recommend R-Type games, because even though they're not bullet hell games, they're very difficult and unforgiving and as such are bad for beginners.
The R-Type games IIRC also don't have training modes, so that's another thing that make it bad for beginners.
Liam Campbell
Unironically touhou on easy.
Charles Parker
graze counter on steam. it teaches you to not fear bullets and has a bunch of good training scenarios
Thomas Ramirez
Seconding this, I bought Final because it looked neat and I can't even get past the stage 2 boss

Yeah, I spent much of spring break as a kid trying to beat R-Type Delta on the PS1 and only got so far as to beat stage 3.
Like I said, it doesn't help that these games don't have any training modes like more modern shmups. I had no way of practicing stage 3 except to get to it and die again and again while making slow progress.
I hope that the upcoming R-Type Final 2 modernizes things a bit by adding training modes.
Cameron Smith
>training modes.
i never understood why people need this

Crimzon Clover: World Ignition on Novice is pretty beginner friendly, especially with all the lives the game gives you
Jonathan Diaz
Raptor on PC, Gradius on PS2 and R-Type Final on PS2 are my favorites.

Jamestown, go for it

Why not 2hu?
Just play on easy/normal. I recommend 2hu 7 and 8
Owen Cook

Bullet Heaven 2, free flash game

Ikaruga has a myriad of flaws that I can't understand why people seem to ignore. Scoring system is frankly crap; color-based enemy chaining means you have to perfectly shoot in the order Treasure wants you to, unless you want to break your chain by shooting whatever you feel like (or the even lamer option of having to let enemies pass you by because you're afraid of getting a broken chain). So prepare to play like a robot if you ever want to score well in Ikaruga, where routes are even more strict and less interesting than Dodonpachi. But hey, at least it's not as bad as Silvergun's scoring. It also has the infamy of being called super difficult because the game gives you absolutely no items once, so the only way to get extends is first learning the ins and outs of the game in order to score well. However, by then you should be able to no-miss Ikaruga anyways, so what was the point in learning? Now the polarity mechanics are awful because swapping colour invalidates practically all bullet patterns in the game, since you can just absorb everything in your way rendering whatever looks impossible meaningless. This seems neat at first until it becomes a chore to soak up every bullet on screen to raise your score, after you cope with the fact that it turns survival play into a boring cakewalk. Boss designs are rubbish save for the first and last dudes. Mooks have no life to them; most don't even shoot at you and simply drift away. This plus the color-based chaining system makes it feel more like playing a puzzle game instead of an actual shmup. Not to mention the fact that it's grossly overrated due to its OST and graphics (if you dig sepia tones making backgrounds look like dogshit) by casuals who hardly even play shmups. Ikaruga's simply a poor game that for some reason has a cult following that loves to bitch at you if you ever happen to question the quality of their beloved masterpiece.
