Excellent, stylish shump that lacks content
The Raiden series has been known for delivering a enjoyable shmup experience and Raiden V: Directors cut does not buck that trend.
Excellent presentation, fantastic soundtrack and solid gameplay, with a surprisingly fleshed out story, caters to not just bullet hell experts but also those who want to dip into the genre and get use to it. All this makes a very good package for all types of shmup skill levels.
The only knocks on Raiden V is that it is very barebones, there isn't much replay value and it can be distracting trying to listen/read the story while trying to not get hit but it is highly recommended nevertheless.
Rating: 8/10
