Serii Game of the Week: Radiant Silvergun
Radiant Silvergun is this really interesting shoot ‘em up (shmup) developed by one of my favorite companies, Treasure. Other games by them include:
:)
RS is a unique shmup since it doesn’t have any power ups, you just get to start with 6 total weapon variations that are upgraded as you build up chains. The story is a pretty interesting one too, told non-linearly with full-on anime cutscenes depicting the end of humanity.
This game has one thing that might make some look the other way:
This game is hard. Like, really fucking hard.
Now for those of you who play shmups this game is just kinda hard because of the really complex chain and scratch system. HOWEVER, the story mode can save your weapon progress which allows you to keep dying until your weapons are powerful enough to blast through the enemies even if you are kinda bad at these types of games. Still though, this game is incredibly fun and I highly recommend giving it a go. RS is available on Xbox One/Series and is now available on switch, so go check it out!
