Raiden V: Director’s Cut

This game isn't Raiden, it isn't an arcade shooter, it isn't very fun either. Its overpriced. I just can believe I wasted nearly $15 buying it and its full price is worse. $34.99. I see why people prefer Raiden III/IV.

A bullet storm reminiscent of old arcade games designed to be hard to master but you could insert coins for another life. With this, you just press start though. It's an okay bullet hell shoot'em up. There's different ships to pick from, a variety of weapons, but I found the graphics to be kind of mushy and hard to read in game that requires a lot of precision, and the writing and voice acting is pretty rough and uninteresting, and it plays through the entire game. Fairly fun starting throughout playing. I do not recommend buying the game for 25€, if it goes on sale for maybe 5€ it might be worth it.

An OK game, but there's a lot of dialogue amidst a lot of bullets flying across the screen, and at stage 7 the game stops working and even loading the save, it doesn't return to normal!

An interesting but ultimately failed attempt to put a story into a 2D shooter. You may find the game more enjoyable with muted voice. The gameplay is just the same as any decent 2D shooter. I don't know about the quality of the port since I played in on console.

Ok RAIDEN shmup as long as you turn off the annoying dialogue. It is probably too long for people that really play for score and 1CC. But if you catch it on sale it is a decent game. If you don't have Crimzon Clover I would reccommend getting that first.
