Although Raiden V: Director's Cut isn't a substantial step up from the vanilla version, what's here still makes for an incredible shoot 'em up that's a must-buy for those who don't already own the original Raiden V.
Solid oldschool arcade action proving that shoot em up doesn’t always have to equal bullet hell. And with the director’s cut you not only get new levels but a decent, albeit hectical co-op mode as well.

It's Raiden. If you loved 3 or 4 you will enjoy this. Epic soundtrack which is included in the physical. Very smooth effects, crisp textures, and bright colors. I've done one play through so far on normal and the only thing I didn't like was the blip sound as cheer numbers increase. I hope they add an option to turn that sound off like they did for the voices.

Reviewed on the PS5. Modernized smooth gameplay. Graphics are decent. Excellent music soundtrack. Great feedback when you destroy enemy units. UI is a bit cluttered while playing. Unlimited continues which helps make the game accessible to all audiences.
Just an all around fun and great shoot em up. I can replay this game over and over because the gameplay is so addicting. Raiden V Director's Cut is a love letter to the fans. I highly recommend it.

Whether you are a serious fan of bullet hell games or new to the genre, Raiden V: Director’s Cut is a great place to start. It offers easy to play, but hard to master gameplay and some great moments throughout and lives up to the series name!
Naturally a niche game. No effort has been made by the development team to broaden the user base.
Raiden V tries to add something new the shoot ’em up genre which is admirable, but unfortunately most of the ideas don’t live up to expectations. The Cheer system may have worked better if you could let spectators view your game, and the running commentary is like trying to listen to couple arguing at back of a bus when you’re at the front and have someone playing loud techno music on their phone right next to you. For a shoot ’em up there is a lot of content and the main mechanics have clearly been honed to perfection over the last twenty five years, making this a good, solid entry to the series.
Raiden V: Director's Cut is a solid, retro-flavored shooter that does a lot right but doesn't innovate or advance the genre forward in any way.
All in all, it’s a decent ride of a game and done really well, but I find that because of the high price point, only the shump veterans should look into getting it. Casual fans will find themselves done with the game way before they get their money’s worth out of it. If you can find this at a discount, I would say grab it for the game play alone, but for $35, I’d hold off for now.
The Raiden franchise never disappointed me in the past, and has not disappointed me now! This vertical shooter is just as fun as the previous version I have on my PS3. I can see myself playing this over again!

More of the same from Raiden but the variety of selectable weapons systems adds an extra dimension. The screen is still a little too busy making spotting enemy fire a little too difficult but it's a marked improvement on Overkill.

de los pocos juegos de "navecitas" para PS4
menos mal que el avión es pequeñito y esquivas bolas sin querer, porque perdí la cuenta de los continues que usé
los modelados parecen de PS2, y no sé por qué no usan la pantalla completa en vez de poner un chat
de todas formas no me enteré de nada de la historia, y eso que no se callan en todo el juego
buena banda sonora, y divertido

I love Shoot em ups, Ive played many over the years some i have liked and others I haven't, But in Raiden Vs case its a half decent Shoot em up that has had a bunch of stupid crap plastered over the top of it to turn it into a bad Shoot em up. The game is pretty average, but then you have the story going on during the game with people talking over the gameplay and even subtitle blocking the enemies. This stuff can be fixed a bit with options but still causes issues. Then there is the pointless cheer system, I really think they need to re work it. I didnt enjoy this game, ...

Game play wise, Raiden V is awful but you probably already know that from other reviews. Technically is also awful, on the top right corner of the actual screen (where the action takes place) there is always a flickering diagonal shadow when the stage is bright, the worst part is that the game crashes randomly with error CE-34878 on PS4 and after all these wears it hasn't been fixed yet even though countless players and You Tube reviewers reported the issue repeatedly. Luckily, I bought it on sale and I only lost 9€, you have been warned, avoid like the plague!!!
