What players say
Radiant Silvergun is essentially one of the greatest shoot-em-ups ever made, every time I come back to it I am easily reminded as to why it has such a legendary reputation. Released in 1998 in Arcade and on the Sega Saturn from incredible game makers Treasure Software (Gunstar Heroes, Ikaruga and Silhouette Mirage). This modern release features updated visuals, details and resolutions as well as a quality of life...

The gameplay, visuals, bosses, weapons, and OH THE MUSIC are excellent. The story ranges from comedic to dead serious. I say give it a try!
radiant silvergun is a great game. this port is not. shame that quality of life for games is so taboo now, considering how ikaruga's pc port is much more polished.
