Raiden Legacy Reviews

Would be really great if say the original Raiden can have the option to move the game window where you want it as it sits under the iPhone notch, covering up a little of the game!


Yes this seems exactly the way it was back then. Ready to steal all your quarters. But since it is on the phone we cant seem to figure out where the quarters go? The lightning port is not big enough. It says continue but we dont see an add quarter button. Am we missing something? Either that or add a small shield because there are times where it just kills you. No way out it wants another quarter. Would be cool to have a modern Raiden game designed for entertainment and not just quarters and a rogue like. Have jet upgrades and upgrade abilities. Also a little better aspect ratio for the graphics(it seems a bit smooshed to get to fit a phone). The sprite graphics do not need to change at all.


Really wish this game handled it’s UI elements better, there are huge buttons that take up far too much of the screen on what is already a cramped game.


At one point years ago, this game ran smoothly. For years now it has been very jittery. The scrolling isnt smooth. We saw that the app was updated so was hoping for a fix. Nope still bad. If it ran properly Id rate this 5 stars. But currently its hard on the eyes and even more difficult.


Dotemu ruined what could have been a wonderful thing. All the games in this bundle are real cult classics. But something went terribly wrong in the porting process. They play like jittery messes on new iPhones – Dotemu has managed to make an unplayable mess out of all four games in the collection. Embarrassing for their company that its been out for so long and none of it has been fixed. Awful.


Need opinions to control game speed also it has a button controlling on the screen.


This is the exact same game as in the arcade. Amazing. We would love to see more of these emulations of older classics. We were surprised at how well the controls felt. It almost feels like actual analog controls. Our only complaint is we have not figured out how to insert more coins in arcade mode…


Omg omg omg omg oml oml oml oml Raiden Raiden Raiden Raiden we miss u we HAVENT PLAYED THIS GAME SINCE we WAS LIKE THREE OR FOUR :OOOO THIS IS LIKE A MEMORY.


Thank you for the quality port developers, please also keep updating for latest devices and iOS.


Button size too big. As perfect. What happened???


This game is amazing on all the devices it was designed for. The in-game buttons are too large on the new larger iPhone. Please update! Very good game!


Mid 2018 and this is still the best vertical shoot-em-up on the App Store. No ads, great control, instant respawn when you die.


Were in need of an update. It would be great if you added Raiden2 to the app.


The best survive game shooter ever including hardest but we love Raiden classic collection.


This is a great collection of classics, but we think the game speed of the original Raiden is too fast compared to the other games in this collection. Makes it hard to advance without superhuman abilities. Just compare how fast the bullets move and how quick the animations play in Raiden compared to the others. A fix for this (or unlimited continue mode like in the R-Type apps) would change our review to 5 star. Thank you.


We love the this game been playing since it was an arcade but the buttons are to big they almost take up the whole screen,


This game supports Bluetooth controllers/game padsplays fine with a little frame rate drops here and there but still good. If youre using the touch controls, thats your bad.


Guess we’ve had enough of bitter tastes of defeat ever since each of those games couldve been 5 credits more. Think about it before the next update, okay?


The main game or feature game Raiden doesn’t work !


Why are the buttons fixed in place on the left side we wish we could have them on the right instead.


All the fast-paced action of the arcade games are in this app. However, action moves a little too fast for the controls. Your plane should be able to move as fast as your finger does. The game maintains its arcade difficulty and without multiplayer, it’s not really fair. Either lower the difficulty or have unlimited continues. Also, Raiden 2 is missing. A sequel needs to be made as their competitors are getting the better of them.


Yeah we agree with Ice Cap. This game is great but the fighter jet needs to keep up with the finger and let more continues and or multiplayer.


Bomb, pause icons are too big and take over the screen.


This is one our favorite!! Please please provide an update to slow down enemies arsenals, it is way too fast even with easy difficulty.


We really appreciate shoot-em-ups, but theres one problem, the buttons on the screen look too big when played on our iPhone 12, and it can sometimes obscure large portions of the screen, and that it can get pretty annoying, when it comes to selecting your character, especially in the Raiden Fighters Trilogy. We were wondering if you could please update this game to make it compatible for iPhone 12, just to make the buttons a bit smaller, please.


Wow – These original games are of amazing visual, sound, music, and gameplay quality, and it shines here. However, we are using our iPad Mini 2 as a portable console with gamepad, so the requirement to play the game in portrait mode means we can’t leave it on our wire charger while playing, killing the battery. Also, there is a glitch where the start button on our MFi Steel Series Stratus does not work, neither in game to continue, or to bring up the emulator’s menu. I’d totally play this if it worked better as a portable console game (!)


If you guys can add raiden 2 that would be great, that way it will be a true collection.


This game is difficult to play. Maybe it was a difficult arcade game also. But one can tell that this is too much of a straight port to mobile without adapting too muh effort. More thought is needed to make it work better for ios/mobile.


The developers just glue and paste. Would love it if they put in unlimited continued, like we all could at the arcade way back then and add some hidden gems, make it more enjoyable. Just dont glue and paste.


Well this is too fast, the same game is on Android and for free, we thought it would be the same. Will try to get a refund because just too fast.


Game pretty good it tends to crash please fixes.


We love the game but the controls are broken. Doesnt support entire screen so you cant move the controls off to the side and they cover the game so you cant see what you are doing. Also, the buttons are way too large! Would be nice if you could drag them to the black border on the sides and out of the viewing area.


The game needs work. The bullets are to fast. The pause button needs to be bigger or auto pause while u take ur fingers off the screen. We want a refund.


One of our favorite games growing up. We got this game when it first came out and was immediately disappointed due to the unnatural an incorrect speed of the bullets. Ruined the game for us, but thought the would fix…. NO. This is a dream release if they would have done it right.


The speed of this game makes it impossible to play on a phone. Dont buy it.


An otherwise great game is now unplayable due to gigantic buttons covering half the screen. Its been a while and we havent got any updates to fix this issue. Looks like the dev doesnt care anymore.


Would love to play and recommend this game to others, but the enemy bullet speed is ridiculous and makes us want to stop playing. Please update and fix it.


We love this game, but unfortunately you cant unlock the judge spear on the app; we hope the developers do something about it since is the best jet to play with.


What a disappointment, the commands are very large and cover the entire screen. It cannot be modified from the game. Money badly spent.


Near broken. Cant figure out how to resize the gigantic semi-transparent controls for pause fire and bomb. Makes it difficult to see the screen when half of it is covered. More than once started it to completely unresponsive controls. Very first app we’ve ever asked for a refund for. Meant to be played with a stick, not a touch interface. With the controls and your finger in the way 85% of the screen is obscured.


We are a big Raiden fan, we used to play so much in the arcade back in the day. But like what a lot of people are saying, the bullets move too fast (for certain enemy ships), even in the easy mode. Having played a LOT of Raiden in the arcade, we think we can say with confidence that (especially) the opening levels are too difficult. Also on the regular Raiden game, you cannot continue, even though you can continue on all the other Raiden variants. We are thankful to have a nostalgic port like this, but the gameplay is disappointing.


This used to be a great game on older devices. Not for latest Apple devices. On screen buttons are out of proportion and too larger and takes up 50% of the playable area.


The devs have not kept the app up to date. The button are large and cover most of the screen. Very disappointing for an otherwise fine game.


Controls are horrid. Dont buy.


We think its great except for the giant on screen buttons! Please make option to turn buttons invisible.


The on screen controls are huge. Its a shame because we used to love this game.


This game is just great. The graphics are amazing like we are at a arcade. The controls are are we have no problem with them. And we haven’t hat crashes or bugs.


Played this at the arcade the same night our bird died. Bought it now to make us happy.


This game friggin ROCKS!!!! We have an iPhone 4S and it runs great! We are playing it on our icade jr. Which is fully supported!!! We think it’s the best way to play it to get original feel of one of the best shmups ever! We never played raiden series back in the day but we’re glad we get to experience it now it what seems to be an excellent port. We have played raiden fighters 2 on emulators and loved it so we had to give this a try. At 1.99 today it’s a steal. Grab it quick!!!! Graphics- 10 Great graphics and kept original. We play full screen on our icade jr :) Sound – 10 Kept original and Awesome music throughout the series. The first game isn’t the best but its original. The raiden fighters’ series is rockin. Replay value 10 we can’t get enough shmups and this is a great series to own. Great job to the creators of this app for recreating a classic series! Will def buy more of your apps!
