TSA writes: "Raiden first appeared in the arcades twenty-five years ago, and now the fifth game in the series has made the jump to PlayStation 4 in the shape of a Director’s Cut, a little over a year since releasing on Xbox One. The basic game has seen little change since the first Raiden; it’s a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up with power ups, boss battles and high scores to chase. It is resolutely old school bullet hell shooter that makes few compromises for those who are new to the genre."
If you love classic shoot 'em up, Plum is releasing a new plastic model kit portraying the FT-00004A Azuma from Raiden V Director's Cut.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Maybe I expected too much from Raiden V, considering how important the franchise is in the shoot-em-up spectrum. It’s still a completely decent and very competent game, don’t get me wrong, but it focuses too much on irrelevant and unnecessary gameplay elements that hinder it from being anywhere near as good as its predecessors. With that being said, I actually recommend it to those who want to dive into the crazy world of shooters without prior experience, as it ended up being much easier than anticipated."
Raiden V: Director’s Cut fires on all cylinders on the Nintendo Switch. The high altitude chaos displayed on screen is simply gorgeous and the finely tuned difficulty options make this entry accessible to just about any gamer. The grandfather of Shoot 'em ups just made a comeback.
I remember this gem from the 90s. Lots of fun
