- A Wet And Wild Multiplayer ExperienceHeroes of Hammerwatch - Ultimate Edition - A Rollicking Rogue-Lite, Best Enjoyed With FriendsSamurai Shodown Neo Geo Collection - A Strong Lineup Of Brilliant Fighters It was released physical with very limited stock in the USA ( not sure of other areas) I live in Dallas and our of five Best Buy stores only two had stock of two each. Another title of that ilk and of great repute is Raiden, a top-down bullet hell with a dizzying amount of onscreen action. The easy to learn, hard to master series comes to the PC in its most modern and advanced form yet! Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Raiden, is Raiden V … It's so distracting.It feels like a low budget effort, compared to the old games.We need a collection of the older and far superior games instead.Maybe they figure that the main demographic for shmups is old bald dads (like me) and we can't see anything in handheld mode anyway? Don’t buy for handheld play.Yes! After 4 or 5 stages, my eyes were watering and my brain was melting. Raiden V Director's Cut has hit the Nintendo Switch, bringing the classic series back to Nintendo. Also the psikyo collections are really fun especially if you're watching Fresh Prince at the same time and Will is clowning on Carleton.Eh, this is exactly why Psyvariar Delta should have a 9/10 rating.It's far superior to Raiden V and many other shmups that got 8/10s on NintendoLife.The main reason i still have a ps2 is for The Raiden Project and Raiden Project DX. Great job by Moss.

Summary Reviewer Whereas Raiden III was slower and Raiden IV was a little bit faster paced, Raiden V is incredibly fast paced.

I got used to dodging those attacks eventually, but it feels like artificial difficulty inflation. Vulcan weapons are effective, but the downside is that they obscure most of the screen, and are a rather similar color to many enemy projectiles. I must now take a moment to acknowledge the storyline. Ryan.H: I am also a huge Raiden fan!

A story that is basically shoved in your face and can often be distracting. After playing the game for 10 minutes, I was hooked. There are also 3 categories of weapons – vulcan cannons, lasers, and plasma – each of which has 3 subtypes.
=)How can games like this still launch on Switch without TATE mode?! A full run through of the game takes about an hour and though these types of games are meant to be replayed many times, that’s a pretty miniscule amount of content. The voice overs are typical over-the-top anime style, but I can’t believe the voice actors simply went with the dialogue as written. The game also offers a practice mode in which the enemies don’t shoot at you, a boon for those who NEED that high score.The one gameplay wrinkle is the ‘cheer’ system. Each one has three variants and 10 levels of increasing power; suffice to say, you will not be able to see everything the game has to offer in just a few quick-play sessions.Bullet hell shooters can be quite an intimidating subgenre of the shmup genre, and taking a look back at the Like the previous games of the franchise, Raiden V is a TATE-orientated shooter, but sadly suffers from the exact same issues that plagued The ‘Director’s Cut’ subtitle comes with added features to the vanilla 2016 game.

For this review, Jeremy and I teamed up and played the PC version. Amazon calculates a product’s star ratings based on a machine learned model instead of a raw data average. As such, there’s a lot of different ways to approach Moss’ vertically-scrolling shooter, with the title allowing players to discover what weapons complement their play style.For those who already own the original iteration of Aesthetically, the title excels with richly detailed backdrops that outstrip the quality of most shmups. One thing that bothers me about this Raiden is that the camera is sometimes too far away from the action, and especially your ship. A decidedly old school shoot 'em up that's still Raiden through and through, but with a lot of nice modern touches to make it more accessible. It was in the small print when I was born.This game is an absolute classic in the genre if you don't have it already.what's a better game thunderforce.or raidan?would like to here what you guys think☺Got this game in the mail. A Nintendo Switch version was released on July 25, 2019, making it the first Raiden game to be made available on a Nintendo console since Raiden Trad. Raiden V didn't look amazing on Xbox, and it doesn't look all that different here on PS4.

Additionally, each of the weapon types have three own selectable styles. The only gripe (and this is minor) is that I wish the visuals were a little more polished.
