"Metis One" has a Tate mode option
Metis One

I've just this moment bought and tried it, and it works fine.

I tried to add a "Tate compatible" tag to help identify games with a Tate mode option.
It didn't show up yet. I guess such things are moderator approved.... else it's likely quite a few would be adding "Woke!" warning tags to many modern titles. Haha
Anyway, if the tag finally shows, I hope we can begin to utilise it.

ps. The reason I used "Tate compatible" instead of simply "Tate" is that it otherwise could imply that Tate is the default or exclusive orientation - which many Tate-supporting games are not.

btw, I'm not a fan of bullet hell shooters. I'm simply an old bastard whom has nostalgia for vertically oriented arcade gaming of his youth. I also always have one of my monitors in portrait orientation for web and document reading, and additionally for viewing many of my own photos.

As for distinguishing types of tate support, yeah, I hear you, but when I started this I hadn't thought that far ahead, so I'm kind of stuck with the TATE tag (it STILL hasn't caught on, but I work in the industry, so I'll have a little word with Valve, maybe I can pull some strings and make it more official. I have no idea what the threshold is to make a tag official). In my review blurbs I always distinguish between 'real' tate vs 'fake' tate, so I've got us covered. There are still few enough games with tate mode support on Steam that making this a manual endeavor is a viable option, until a glorious future when we're suddenly flooded with thousands of vertically scrolling shmups all with native screen rotation...
