About this game

＜Story＞

July 14, 2520 AD.
The light emitted by a "stone-like object" excavated from the strata of B.C. enveloped the earth, destroying the human race. Only the four crew members of the space cruiser TETRA and one robonoid barely escaped into satellite orbit. ......

One year later. The TETRA is forced to re-enter the atmosphere because the ship's supplies have finally been depleted. The battle for the survival of the TETRA begins.

＜A highly strategic shooting game＞

The battlefield is a stage with various terrains, including intricate crevices and moving containers, where enemies attack from all directions, up, down, left, and right. Twenty-three bosses await in six highly strategic stages.

There are also secret bonuses that occur when enemies are defeated in a specific order, as well as hidden score items. The key to obtaining a score is to cover all of these items, build your own original attack pattern, and accurately destroy the targeted enemies.

Use weapons that level up in accordance with your score to update your high score!

  Patch Note（Rev:224 BuildID:1361857)

  Thank you for playing Radiant Silvergun. We would also like to thank you for your feedback. In this mini-update, we have addressed the following. UPDATE Fixed bugs that occurred with some bosses Despite clearly avoiding the attack from NASU during the boss "NASU" that appears during 2C, Fixed an issue where in rare cases the player-unit would be treated as being hit by a bullet. Addresses issues that occur during actual play and when replaying replay data. We have taken measures to address the issue where the game moves differently from the actual play when playing replay data. Due to this modification, there may be a difference in the calculation of score addition. Along with this, "v05" will be displayed in the replay data. When recording a game using Geforce Experience, the save destination folder name and file name may be changed.Response to phenomena that are generated with a name different from the original intention. Up until now, when recording games using Geforce Experience, Folder name and file name are originally generated with the name "Raidiant Silvergun" We have confirmed a phenomenon where videos are saved in a folder named "Raven Squad." To address this issue, by changing the game's executable file name, I have made sure that the file is correctly saved in the folder called "Raidiant Silvergun". From now on, the video will be saved in the folder named "Raidiant Silvergun". Please note that videos taken before the update are saved in a folder named "Raven Squad". If you have already recorded, please check your settings and manage the files. Also, if the game does not start properly after this support, please restart STEAM and then Please try "Verify integrity of game files". If you have any concerns after updating, please We apologize for the inconvenience, but please contact us with a bug report or support. Thank you for your report. Thank you for your continued support of Radiant Silvergun.
