If you’re a shooter fan who has collected every shmup in the Cave collection among other available titles, RayStorm will fit right in your collection - right alongside its prequel, RayForce. Deep space is particularly my favorite, as you can obliterate ships from a distance with lock-on lasers while still contending with forces right in front of you.

What they lack in the high-definition polish that most Cave shooters have these days, they make up for with well-restored graphics from the original game, as well as good-looking explosions and an array of backgrounds to fly through. Still, RayStorm retains every bit of its retro-flavored splendor, especially in the graphics. Sadly, that’s about it on extras, and for a game that sells for around nine bucks, that may be a bit much to ask for. The game also supports GameCenter, so you can post your best scores to compare with others and unlock Achievements for certain areas of the game. These not only have their own settings and stage select screens, but completely different Zuntana soundtracks, including a sweet remixed one. In addition, the company has thrown in a slew of options, including separate Arcade and iPhone Modes. That’s for the better, as you’ve got more room to maneuver your ship that way. Taito has modified RayStorm to work with touch-screen gameplay, and it’s very responsive, though you have to hold your device in wide-screen format to play it. (We recommend saving it for bosses, as they can be tough hombres.) Furthermore, you also have a special attack that you can charge up, obliterating all targets on-screen with very little effort. It’s a variation of the Xevious process, but the lock-on lasers for both models work more effectively than Namco’s game did. Your attacks are divided between blasting enemies in the skies and locking on to targets below.

In the game, you’re a lone spaceship (out of select models available) fighting against the nasty Secilia Federation, who have plans for Earth.

It made its way to Xbox Live Arcade months ago in high-definition format with good results, and now it’s available on the Apple App Store for iPad and iPhone models, the latest in Taito’s retro releases.

Since that time, RayStorm has seen a pair of re-releases. Arrives by Mon, Oct 3 Buy Operation Raystorm 2219 PC CD - The Arcade Classic from Japan comes to your PC w/ All New Enemies, Stages & Game Options at. First released on the PS One long ago (through Working Designs), the game’s grown on me with its Zuntana-produced soundtrack, strong 3D graphics (running at 60 frames-per-second - no small feat for such a detailed shooter) and plenty of action on two levels of play.

This did not make my legitimate installation from the Empire Interactive portable as the game stores some installation information in the system registries and prevents it from running if the game's installation is moved elsewhere. Tested an imported European version of the game with English region and Unicode settings.ĭespite obtaining the hglcore.ini file from a Warez site, using this file on my own legitimate copy of RayStorm after installing it from the CD worked on it as well. Tested RayStorm under Windows 8.1 64-bit which caused the game to run at half speed.
