?What is Radiant Silvergun?
“Radiant Silvergun” is a vertical scrolling shooting game that first appeared in arcades in 1998.
A unique game system that strategically captures by making full use of 8 weapons. This continues to be highly evaluated by game players.
Many unique enemies await you on stages with various terrains.Make full use of the eight weapons that grow each time you defeat an enemy. Aim for a high score with the Chain Bonus (generated by defeating the same enemies repeatedly) and Secret Bonus (generated by defeating enemies in a specific order). The more you play, the more interesting the game becomes.
The beautiful 3D graphics, background music by internationally acclaimed composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, and a storyline with a strong message that challenges all game
users to think about how games should be played, make for a fascinating world to explore and enjoy.
In story mode, veteran voice actors such as Kenyu Horiuchi let you hooked in the characters and stories.

July 14, 2520 AD. A “stone-like object” excavated from the strata of B.C. enveloped the earth with the light it emitted, destroying the human race. Four crew members of the space cruiser “Tetra” and one robonoid were left behind and barely evacuated to satellite orbit. ……
One year later.
The TETRA, which had been waiting for its chance from orbit, finally runs out of supplies and is forced to re-enter the atmosphere, and the battle for human survival begins.

Stages with various topography such as intricate gaps and moving containers become battlefields, and enemies attack from all directions, up, down, left and right. And 23 bosses await beyond… 6 highly challenging stages await you.
