Raiden IV: OverKill is a 2D arcade shoot ’em up built around fighting swarms of enemy fighters across a series of stages.
Use weapons such as the Spread Shot and Vulcan Laser, along with new weapons and items, to attack enemies and face challenging bosses. The game offers several weapons to unlock and master.
Modes include OverKill, with new mission stages and a revised scoring system; Additional Mode, with two new stages; Score Attack; and Arcade Mode with Light and Original difficulties. World rankings, replay data, a gallery, and a secret mode unlocked by clearing the game are also included.
The supplied reviews describe the shooting as satisfying, with one player especially enjoying the purple plasma weapon. They also praise the imaginative enemy and boss designs; another reviewer highlights the classic upward-scrolling shoot ’em up format.
