  Fun shooter for the arcade folk.

  This is just a re-release of the Japanese PC version of the game. All that's changed is the configuration utility has been translated to English. Very disappointed! Game is stuck in 640x480 so unless you're running this on an Arcade monitor it's going to look like pixelated mess. Not recommended at all and definitely not worth the asking price.

  Game runs natively at 640x480 on a tiny screen (full screen option is a blurry mess and Steam overlay looks huge). Non existent graphical options beside screen turn/stretch, no online leaderboards/ achievements. Overall, a very poor effort, Steam has much better SHMUP options at similar price like Astebreed and Ikaruga.

  This is just like the arcade game... but... it translates poorly to the pc platform. I would recommend changing the keysettings immediately. And to do this you must go to the actual games folder and choose the config tool. I got no idea why they didn't include it in the game. Also, changing the screen to fullscreen in the same tool is highly recommended. This is an incredibly hard and unforgiving game, just like the arcades used to be. I love that sort of challenges, but it's not for everyone. Enjoy :)

  Bought this to help support getting great classics like this on Steam, hopefully we get Raiden IV someday.

  While probably the weakest entry in the series, it is still a very solid shoot em up with plenty of challenge. So... Raiden IV Overkill when?

  If you like Arcade Shooters then this is it, we all know its the same version of Raiden III wiht the Japanese options but now in english , and i must say I LOVE the GAME... Music is fantastic, speed is there and the rush of the game is all good , great price too , and they are not many game like this for PC so . BUY it its well worth it , also its gona be all the time in your Steam Account so the game will stay with you , lets juste hope other games like that will come :)

  Challening and fun, if you're a fan of the genre a definite buy.

  This gets a lot of hell for not being as good as Raiden IV but personally I love this game, I actually had a pirated version of this before it was released on steam (along with a legit PS2 version) that I deleted and replaced with buying the Steam version (support developers!). This is a fast and still pretty SHMUP with enough explosions and lasers to keep you happy and a wonderful soundtrack by Go Sato (which comes with the game in your game folder btw *O*) If you like SHMUPs that are non-bullethell traditional oldschool style, please support them on steam and buy Raiden III you won't regret it!

  As a fan (and owner) of raiden I in the arcades, the sequels tended to disappoint...and their ports were even worse. But this is brilliant! Would have been nice if they increased the resolution...and full screen mode didn't work for me. But, hey, still great fun!
