    Overall, Raiden V is a phenomenal experience even though it’s quite expensive. It offers a lot of replayability despite its short campaign but stands at the top of the arcade shooter genre.

    While not being a revolutionary shoot'em up, thanks to a precise and compelling gameplay, high variety and an infinite replayability Raiden V is a great bullet hell shooter that lovers of the genre shouldn't miss.

    Raiden V is fun, spectacular and solid. Its price is high, but hardcore shoot 'em up fans will find here a must-have.

    You don’t always need “bullet hell” in a shoot-em-up. Raiden 5 is a solid old school arcade experience with an interesting rhythm to the action while delivering a decent challenge.

    Raiden V is a top old-school shmup, enriched by excellent gameplay features, great calibration and perfect rhythm. In the background of this pleasant scene, a notable work was done with the sound as well. Unfortunately the artistic direction doesn't look wholly brilliant and considerable extras are missing. However Raiden V stands as an absolutely recommended purchase to the vertical scroller shoot 'em' up lovers, very hard to master but as much fulfilling as few other games are.

    In many ways Raiden has been left in the dust by its successors. The series that have survived have moved on and tried new things in an attempt to remain relevant, whereas MOSS is content on clinging to old-school sensibilities.

    For hardcore genre fans Raiden V might be worth a look, but there’s a pretty thin amount of content on tap here, especially considering the price.

    I liked this game. Hard to get a good old school shoot em up these days but Raiden V is definely worth a look. The only downside to this gameI liked this game. Hard to get a good old school shoot em up these days but Raiden V is definely worth a look. The only downside to this game is the price and lack of multiplayer. Might be best to wait for a sale before purchase.… Expand
