    A decent game with some interesting mechanics that require you to risk taking damage to get powered up. It gives the gameplay a fresh twist. Unfortunately, for my taste, it's simply too challenging. I have never been a fan of forced steep difficulties with games.

I like it to be an option for players who want the greater challenge and for the rest of us to be able to enjoy the game at any pace or challenge we desire. For those who like incredibly difficult shmups, you'll probably enjoy this. For me, it was too frustrating and the game was deleted after a few hours.… Expand

    Risk System is a fun action arcade game that will keep you busy for a few hours. However, the repetitive gameplay may end your session early.

    Risk System is a shmup that tries to be original but does that in a bad way. The shooting is automatic which eliminates 90 percent of the fun instantly. Besides this, you only need to evade enemies. The difficulty is very high, but the game never challenges you to try again. There are a few special attacks that make things better but still it is not really fun to play. Also, the game lacks a co-op mode which means you have to go through this all by yourself. Let's just say there are way better shmups.

    Risk System is an impressive game where it counts, and that’s in its taut, thoughtful and challenging gameplay. The polish of the design reminded us of the excellent run n’gun Bleed, with its focus on dodging and retaliating in linear stages, but of course here applied to the shmup genre. Other than higher ranks, there’s not much to rush back to in Risk System’s six short stages, but they’re sufficiently difficult enough to last genre non-veterans a good while. Absolute pro shmuppers may find it a little too breezy, but players of any skill level will be able to appreciate the exceptionally solid game on offer here. We say that there’s no risk of buyer’s remorse with this one.
