WTMG's Leo Faria: "This is not an easy recommendation, given how unbelievably challenging this game is, even on the easiest of difficulties. Radiant Silvergun is a gem of its time, but one that has managed to age gracefully. Few bullet hell shooters released in this day and age are able to stand next to it and its sequel, Ikaruga. Being able to take this absolute classic on a portable, with a handful of simple, but welcome quality of life improvements, is worth the entry fee if you’re a fan of bullet hell shooters. No need to spend nearly four figures on a region-free Saturn with a copy of the game in order to enjoy it in a legit way. Grab it on the eShop, have fun, and lose a ton of lives with a smile on your face."
"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.
