Jun 14, 2023Raiden III represented a transitional time in the franchise’s 33-year history, following an extended hiatus and a shift on the business side of things. MIKADO MANIAX might not catalog what was going on behind the scenes but offers a revitalizing remix that STG fans will want in their collection.

Aug 8, 2023Raiden III x Mikado Maniax was my first taste of this entry in the series, and it is a great version of one of the less interesting MOSS-developed entries in the series. I only recommend this for those who already played and enjoyed Raiden IV, but want more from the series. The new soundtrack option is excellent as well.

Jun 15, 2023While I feel like all of MOSS’s Raiden games fall along a similar line of quality, the fourth and fifth games certainly feel like they take more risks and aren’t afraid to be their own things. Raiden III for better or worse is a game that feels so busy trying not to mess up that it forgot to do anything interesting. This new release adds in some cool features and extras to make it worth hopping in the Fighting Thunder one more time, even if all but the most ardent of Raiden fans would be better off picking up one of the later entries in the series.
