GDN - When Radiant Silvergun was announced for Xbox Live Arcade, several of my regular readers gleefully insisted I review it. I quickly discovered why; this is a very, very hard vertical scrolling shooter (also known as a "sh’mup") and they wanted to see if I could handle it. It’s hard, but it’s also a very fun game that many people haven’t had a chance to play since its previous release goes for around $100 to $200 USD on the secondary market.
"The Tokyo-based (Japan) video games developers Live Wire and TREASURE Co., today announced with great happiness and excitement that the cult classic arcade shoot-em-up "Radiant Silvergun" (the game just celebrated its 25th anniversary), is now available for PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
“It's that time of year again; our Game of the Year Awards have begun and to kick things off, here are the best retro titles from 2022.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“Radiant Silvergun remains one of my favourite shoot 'em ups of all time with its mind-blowing array of weaponry, steep challenge, and clever mechanics. It's been a long time since it released, though, so I was hoping there would be some new content included here.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
