About

■ Story

July 14, 2520 AD.

The human race was annihilated by the light emitted by a stone-like object excavated from the stratum before Christ. Only four crew members belonging to the space cruiser TETRA and one robonoid survived in satellite orbit.

A year later, the supplies on board are depleted. TETRA is forced to re-enter the atmosphere and begin the fight for human survival.

■ Strategic shoot 'em up

Stages with various topography such as intricate gaps and moving containers become battlefields, and enemies attack from all directions, up, down, left and right. 23 bosses await beyond... Six highly challenging stages await you.

There is a chain bonus that keeps increasing the score by continuously defeating the same enemy, a secret bonus generated by defeating enemies in a specific order, and a hidden score item. The key to earning a score is to cover all of these, build an original pattern for strategy, and accurately defeat the target enemy.

Use different weapons that level up by earning points and beat the high score!

Clarifying Radiant Silvergun’s place in the genre is trivial in light of its achievement. It remains, despite its uncompromising nature, deservedly celebrated. The game wears its hardcore credentials on its sleeve, and its depth in both technical and artistic terms is astonishing. As stimulating and rewarding as it is exhausting, it’s a labour that has transcended not only the genre but the medium to some degree. Regardless of its difficulty — and in that difficulty, its lack of immediate connection — those who learn to fell the game proper can say they truly lived Radiant Silvergun. That’s an experience worth fighting for.

9/10
