Pocket Gamer: Taito’s incredible track record in the coin-op shooter genre means that any release from the company is likely to generate a reasonable amount of interest.
RayForce (also known as Gunlock, Galactic Attack, and Layer Section) is no different, despite being one of the firm’s less-famous moments.
Pocket Gamer: RayForce delivers coin-op shooting action straight out of 1993, but technical niggles and a ridiculously high asking price mean that it’s unlikely to find a wide audience on the iPhone.
AppAdvice: I love bullet hell shoot ’em ups (shmups) as much as the next person, but I never had the opportunity to play RayForce back in the day. So once I saw that it was available on iOS, I decided to give it a try.
STP: There’s a fair number of arcade shooters on the App Store, from original creations to ports and re-imaginings of classic games, like Space Invaders Infinity Gene by Taito. Taito is now publishing an iOS port of RayForce, a 1993 arcade shoot-’em-up. They’re currently asking for 12 of your hard-earned dollars to experience this old arcade game.
I was interested in this game but the high price tag scared me off. It's $12 on the App Store.
