Raiden too fast
This is a great collection of classics, but I 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 my review to 5 star. Thank you

Great game from the coin op days BUT
Yes this seems exactly the way it was back then. Ready to steal all your quarters. But since it is on the phone I can’t seem to figure out where the quarters go? The lightning port is not big enough. It says continue but I don’t see an add quarter button. Am I 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.

A True Time Capsule, But Limited on MFi
Wow - These original games are of amazing visual, sound, music, and gameplay quality, and it shines here. However, I am using my iPad Mini 2 as a portable console with gamepad, so the requirement to play the game in portrait mode means I can't leave it on my wire charger while playing, killing the battery. Also, there is a glitch where the start button on my 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 (!)

This game’s great but…
I really appreciate shoot-em-ups, but there’s one problem, the buttons on the screen look too big when played on my 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. I was wondering if you could please update this game to make it compatible for iPhone 12, just to make the buttons a bit smaller, please

Good collection, but the lowest replay value.
Guess I’ve had enough of bitter tastes of defeat ever since each of those games could’ve been 5 credits more. Think about it before the next update, okay?

Not bad.
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.

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

Amazing Games, Awful Conversion
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 it’s been out for so long and none of it has been fixed. Awful.

Near broken
Near broken. Can’t 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 I’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.

more thought needed for mobile.
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.

Love playing the classics - needs more options!
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!

Bad Framerate. Jittery.
At one point years ago, this game ran smoothly. For years now it has been very jittery. The scrolling isn’t smooth. I saw that the app was updated so was hoping for a fix. Nope still bad. If it ran properly I’d rate this 5 stars. But currently it’s hard on the eyes and even more difficult…

Use a controller…
This game supports Bluetooth controllers/game pads…plays fine with a little frame rate drops here and there but still good. If you’re using the touch controls, that’s your bad.🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Broken
I love the game but the controls are broken. Doesn’t support entire screen so you can’t move the controls off to the side and they cover the game so you can’t 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.

Way too fast
I agree with other reviews. I was a big fan of the arcade game, and this feels almost twice as fast. You have almost zero reaction time to avoid enemy fire.

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.

Still best vertical shmup on App Store
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.

So Disappointed
One of my favorite games growing up. I 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 me, but thought the would fix....NO. This is a dream release if they would have done it right.

Just OK
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 don’t glue and paste.

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.

Fix the gigantic buttons!
An otherwise great game is now unplayable due to gigantic buttons covering half the screen. It’s been a while and we haven’t got any updates to fix this issue. Looks like the dev doesn’t care anymore.

Good, but brutally difficult.
Plenty of content for $5, but its really hard even when you consider that games in this genre tend to be on the difficult side. Many of the bullets move really fast even on the opening level, and dodging them only gets harder the further you progress as they increase in number and more enemies fill the screen. Your reflexes become useless quickly and you'll have to really on sheer luck or memorization to progress beyond the later levels. Or you can choose the easy difficulty which isn't any easier, but merely equips you with many more continues. Buy this if you love shmups or if you've already played the hell out of all the Cave shooters available on the App Store. In my opinion, Cave's offerings are better designed and have appropriate difficulty curves. And the different difficulty settings actually result in fewer bullets that move slower, not just more continues. This is a good game, four games really, but its not as well made as Cave's stuff. Start there and get this later if you don't tire of the genre after the numerous Bug Princess, Dodonpachi, and Espagulda titles.

A bit disappointing.
The first Raiden game is unbeatable. I can't continue where I left off? Oh no prob, I'll just beat the first level and this will be fixed! That's at least what happens at my near-by arcade, (dies on stage 2) this level has that problem? How am I supposed to beat the game with 3 continues? Also why does Autofire shoot automatically not continuous fire when the fire button is held? And Why can't I be the Blue ship in Raiden? The other games let you pick your ship so why not here? And where's multiplayer? I'd be nice to play these games with your friends in fact, I'm sure this game was made to be played with a friend. And finally it needs more Raiden games like Raiden 2 and Viper: Phase 1 (A.K.A. Raiden in space) When updated I'll give 5 stars. Thanks!

Excellent, but could use some improvements
This collection is great. It also supports the ICade, which I really like, along with the two R-Type games. One complaint I have, and this is a pretty big one, when I'm using the ICade, the games start lagging up, all of them. It really gets in my way. I was disappointed to see the ICade causes this lag. Also, there doesn't seem to be enough credits. 3 Credits? How about an option to let the player choose how many credits they receive. And these games seriously have the chance to do multiplayer. Overall though, these games are tough, and I would recommend it to expert players. Casual players, you will have a difficult time, possibly getting past the first stages, but still, these games are really fun and difficult for the right reasons in my opinion.

Controls need to be improved
There's a lot of content here and four shooters for $5 is a great deal any day. Still, most of us are spoiled by Cave's perfect touchscreen controls. Sure, the original game didn't allow you to move your ship as fast as you can swipe a finger across the screen, so that's why you give us the option for either one! The speed at which my ship moves lags behind my movements, resulting in many cheap deaths and frustration. I'm all for preserving the original games but Its more important to give us controls perfectly suited to the touchscreen than a joystick which many of us don't have. Give us cave like perfect controls and the review goes to five stars!
