Exceed 2nd  and Satazius are tied for best shmups on Steam from a pure quality standpoint imo. The design of both games just feels fundamentally good. Though Exceed doesn't have co op or power ups. Satazius lets you choose your weapons, and you unlock more with each boss you kill. The weapons you use level up by going through the stages with them, so you can develop your own playing style.

For co-op, Jamestown is supposed to have some of the best co op in a shmup ever. It's local multiplayer only though, unfortunately. GundeadLigne also has online co op, though how smoothly it goes will depend on your connection.

Exceed 2nd is based on the concept that all bullets and hazards come in two different colors, and the player character can switch colors as well. You die if struck by something of the opposite color, and you absorb attacks of the same color to power up your super weapon. It's a lot like a better version of Ikaruga, if you've ever played that.

Satazius is a horizontally scrolling shooter with an emphasis on clever environmental hazards.
