Raiden IV is on PC via Steam bro, and this one looks better than that game, but being a game made by a little japanese company that still make shmups is not a big deal if the graphics are PS2 style. I will enjoy it when it is released on Steam and PS4 for sure
is good to see how that game is evolved respect to another versions, its learned to leave the olders games and it created a game looks like another game nothing to do Raiden, good
Im looking for a game i played on arcade back in 97,. i dont remember the name of it.. but it was like this, only you can choose different types of jets, even a bat could be chosen.. can some one help me ?????
Perhaps they have learned to make a more compressed or 'pure' crystal to get the same power as a bigger one but need less space? I mean some of those eariler crystals were pretty damn big.
Hi. I always upgraded three weapons whenever I played this game but I couldn't meet the true boss. Could you give me more detail about getting the true boss? Thank you.
+Jun Sang Yoon Did you upgrade all weapons to max level? or you cannot meet true boss because you just play practice mode in stage 8 even you upgrade all weapons to max level.
I don't understand... I've got the English version on Xone, and in many occasions I kill the enemy quicker than you (for example on the mega-tank, or the 3rd boss), still your multiplier is often over x5 while I struggle to get over 2x... What I'm missing here?
Now I've never played this game (even though I really want to, but don't wanna own a XBone just for that) but I think when you use the cheer support, it reduces the multiplier to x1.0 as a cost no matter how fast you destroy enemies. I'm not sure if it's permanent until the end of the stage.
i'm just kinda hoping it'll get a PC port eventually like Raiden IV did. I don't have the kind of money needed to blow a significant amount of cash for a ONE just for a single game... Maybe i'll get to play this'n in 2020.
I've upgraded all 3 weapons to max level and never got to the true boss... know what I could be doing wrong? Could non-default settings matter? Credits used?
I just get a information By iconoclast It only depends on the percentage of enemies you've killed during a stage. According to that percentage, you'll get different routes in the next stage (or may remain on the same route). The routes are ranked from S (the best) to C (the worst). Stage 1 only has one route. Stage 2 has two routes (2-A and 2-B) Stage 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 have four routes (S, A, B and C) Here is how it is calculated: Percentage of enemies killed of 98% or above: you rank up in the next stage. Percentage of enemies killed between 90% and 97.9%: you stay on the same route in the next stage. Percentage of enemies killed under 90%: you rank down in the next stage. And as for the S route (the best one), once you are on it, as long as you kill at least 90% of the enemies in each stage (from 90% to 100%), you'll remain on S route. By pressing LT twice while playing, you can change the left part of the screen and see your game datas and the percentage of enemies you've already killed in the stage you are doing.
This new game is crap IMO, too much distracting crap everywhere, unnecessary voices and characters. Go Sato must return for Raiden. no exceptions. nobody can compose like him. Raiden IV has awesome music, updated while keeping the Raiden feel (As Go Sato returned for IV) but this? Ehhh I'll go back to 1-2-DX. I understand that this game moreso mirrors the Raiden Fighters spinoffs but for the love of GOD please hire a better composer, this is so generic and boring. Instead of all those characters and needless GUI sections, you couldve made larger stages, fit more enemies, and had BIGGER bosses. This game is so lazy i dont know why it bothers me so much, i guess it's an injustice to me. *shrug*
speakin out of my soul. this game is pure garbage. i'd rather play any other shmup than this crap. it has nothing to do with raiden. except the crystal and the jet.
I'll play as a Devil Advocate here. I don't think this game is all crap like you've described. Too much distracting thing everywhere? Well, this is a bullet Hell so what the frick do you expect? Oh wait you're talking about the UI too? Nah... it's not that distracting either, except the dialogues text that is The music? It's not terrible and generic. At ALL. What do you smoking? Maybe your taste in music is just different because the majority that I've seen were truly liking the music in this game, including myself. (For example: Far Journey and Unknown Pollution) The only two negative aspects that I could think of are the graphic and the EN VA. But even with that, the VA can be forgiven when it's switched to JP. Even though I kinda hope UFO and MOSS could improve the graphic even more (like those concept art that they've had) So let's be real here. This game is not lazy. It's tried to adapt into something new and I think it's working, for the most part. But it's not as lazy as you argumented three years ago

you sir, are one hell of a pilot
wow grew up with this game on ps2... now kids will grow up on this one and say the same when they're 19... i feel like im rushing through life
Raiden 1 & 2 here feels like a time machine man😢
Just got announced for PC and PS4. Looking forward to try this out for myself!

How much is this gonna be? Thinking about getting IV Overkill since I started missing this series a lot. xD
Also never played the newer games anyway.
Raiden lV Overkill is available for PS3 also.
I see.
The first stage boss is the most unimaginative boss I have ever seen, design and shot pattern wise. Glad they get better in later stages.
it's the first fucking boss of the game it's not supposed to be hard as hell.
Now I am so missed to be playing with the traditional Raiden Mk-II in this game.
Mk ii might already retired,now it could be fighting thunder ME 02
is good to see how that game is evolved respect to another versions, its learned to leave the olders games and it created a game looks like another game nothing to do Raiden, good
Welp, looks like I'm gonna have to re-buy an Xbox One...
Damn these niche games, and damn me for loving them
There's no way I could play this. I got a headache just watching this, it's so fast
19:46 tell me! how big our fighting thunder ship? or there is a monster inside the house :D
this is so true, nobody pays attention to scale and perspective in these games lol - it's a drone fight!
also , it will recommend rank role, get A rank or better before enter stage 8.
Im looking for a game i played on arcade back in 97,. i dont remember the name of it..
but it was like this, only you can choose different types of jets, even a bat could be chosen..
can some one help me ?????
It looks like Raiden Fighters Jet
If it had the Miclus ("bat") available then indeed it was RFJ.
18:50 - That crater seems legit
how can you play such fast, i cannot even see the attack pattern of those bosses >_
In later stages, why are the bullets *EXTREMELY* fast?
Welcome to Raiden. It's always like that
Is legolas playing?? GODDAMMIT!!!
I've only played raiden 3, and I THINK I can make it to stage 6 using one credit. (mainly because of the boss's second phase).
That 2nd phase is annoying, but that boss was always something of favorite of mine.
+1 Cheer
The true final boss of this game looks absolutely mean.
Yeah... It is a pain in the ass...
raiden project on ps1< 3
Why is the Cranessian Crystal so small in this game? usually it was as big as the ship
to +Theodor Fons>> maybe it is only 1/x of crystal's power, since most of attacks generated on the machine...
Perhaps they have learned to make a more compressed or 'pure' crystal to get the same power as a bigger one but need less space? I mean some of those eariler crystals were pretty damn big.
Hi. I always upgraded three weapons whenever I played this game but I couldn't meet the true boss. Could you give me more detail about getting the true boss? Thank you.

Are you using the cheer support attacks for your ship on the bosses?
Yep!
Now I've never played this game (even though I really want to, but don't wanna own a XBone just for that) but I think when you use the cheer support, it reduces the multiplier to x1.0 as a cost no matter how fast you destroy enemies. I'm not sure if it's permanent until the end of the stage.
That can be a reason! Thanks for the idea, for now!
The player is the true boss
Is there really no sols at stage 4? I am so puzzled.
this game is amazing what platform?
* Only * Xbox One.
i'm just kinda hoping it'll get a PC port eventually like Raiden IV did. I don't have the kind of money needed to blow a significant amount of cash for a ONE just for a single game... Maybe i'll get to play this'n in 2020.
I'm playing this in 2020 🤣 on ps4 .
I've upgraded all 3 weapons to max level and never got to the true boss... know what I could be doing wrong? Could non-default settings matter? Credits used?
You have to enter S route of stage 8 as well
Darius DKA How do I do that? 100% kills?
Probably, I never play this game actually, I just ask my friend who play this game, and they told me trying to get high score.
Darius DKA Ah, ok. Well thanks for helping out.
I just get a information

Why there are no Japanese Voices?
in EN ver there is no voices
