Buy Raiden Legacy

Awesome game!!!

My only complaint about this compilation is that the music in the original Raiden is strangely quiet. But other than that, it's not a bad compilation really. I'm honestly not a big fan of DotEmu's emulation works. DotEmu don't believe in quality. I'm being very honest here. Aside from that, I had a great time with this compilation.

Raiden Legacy is the perfect gift for the fans of the series and the Shoot 'em up genre. It includes four great games full of action and plenty Bullet Hell moments. The overall playing time of the package exceeds 15 hours and with so many crafts to chose from is certain that you will never ever get bored.

In Raiden Legacy, the spin offs of the franchise are presented in their perfect form, distributing the content in many different mods. In arcade mode is sufficient the choice of a craft before you start your assault to destroy the countless enemies that are distributed to each stage. The mission mode is a bypass of the initial missions so you can start directly from the advanced levels, increasing the possibility to proceed a step further. The online mode is the best there is in the game but goes along with a major problem. If you dont have friends who bought Raiden Legacy you will wait a long time, perhaps in vain, for some online teammate showing up. On the other hand, the online dimension of Raiden forming a huge virtual coin - op area where passionate pilots compete from around the globe and their scores are listed in the scoring boards to monitor everyone's progress giving the contestants a powerful incentive to continuously improve their performance.

Every game has a stutter that makes it impossible to dodge oncoming enemies and bullets. If they could fix that, this would be an easy game to recommend, but as it stands, it's totally unplayable.

horrible conversion just god aweful i bought it played for abit locks up my laptop , emailed steam asked for a refund i purchase and have purchased many games here no response , very unprofessional technical support , ill dl the rom it plays better

The music just randomly drops out at certain points. This collection simply does not look, sound, or play anywhere near as good as the Raiden Fighters Aces collection and it doesn't have nearly as many options or even start you off with the same number of ships in Raiden Fighters. The existence of this game on Steam just makes Aces, a superior game, less likely to show up. How disappointing. And no, I have not actually logged over 400 hours with this game--I just couldn't get it to work at first (shocker) yet it ran in the background somehow. I don't know.

Boo, DotEmu. Boo.

This compilation is nice to play, there however is some minor issues with the menu system that needs attention. 7/10

Awesome! No bugs, the game runs perfectly. Fans of these game type will be delighted. I recommend. Thanks DotEmu! :D

nice arcade game with a lot of fun!
the game is challenging

thank a lot !!

I love Raiden and I love the Raiden Fighters series. These games are among my favorite classic vertical shooters. This is, however, probably the worst version of them that exists.

DotEmu has already released one small patch, so hopefully there will be more. They are needed. If things get fixed I'll edit this review to reflect it.

The Good:

- Four awesome shooters for ten bucks. This includes Raiden, Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet. These games rock and this is one more game (Raiden) than Raiden Fighters Aces for the Xbox 360 includes.

The Bad:

- Poor emulation. The games don't run at the correct framerate. This causes video stuttering, audio stuttering, and an overall poor experience compared to other versions of these games.

- Buggy. Menu settings often don't save. Simply accessing the menu (without changing any options) will sometimes change things such as autofire mode and music volume.

- No rapid fire. UPDATE: With their second patch DotEmu has added a Rapid Fire ability.

- Extreme lack of options compared to better versions of these games.

Conclusion:

You can get these great games many other ways, and Raiden Legacy - Steam Edition should be your last resort. If you don't have access to the original arcade boards then Raiden Fighters Aces for the Xbox 360 is a GREAT port with smooth gameplay and is absolutely overflowing with options. If you really want these on the PC then you should look to MAME or the GOG version of Raiden Legacy first, as it has been reported to run better than the Steam version currently does.
