Love the creativity of the boss patterns, but they look like a real pain to deal with. Also wasn't expecting the design of the pilots to look that cartoony based on the designs of the bosses, that was a surprise.

Always entertaining to watch. 👍 Imported RSG just a few months after release...when prices weren't utterly nonsensical. Also, enjoyed this one a lot more than Ikaruga.

[@daneyal7162]

Thank you very much for bringing this game to my attention, Shadowserg. Not only are most of these bosses pretty neat, but the final boss, Xiga, is really cool. I wasn't expecting such a dynamic final boss fight in a space shooter game, and Xiga's towering design and theme music make the fight even more epic. In fact, I decided to make a lego moc of Xiga, and it's going well so far 🙂. Also, I could be wrong, but when I checked other videos of the fight against Xiga, the fight went faster than in here. I believe that the reason for that is that you want to give the bosses enough screen time for each to show everything that they can do, so you don't use weapons that can damage them faster. I thank you for that, because without that, I wouldn't have known so soon that Xiga has more abilities than what is shown in some of the other videos on KZbin that show this boss. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to more games for you to share here with us all! 😁

[@AnthonyFlack]

It depends on how strong your weapons are. It shows the weapon strength next to your score (eg A:15 B:11 C:11)

The arrange soundtrack/soundtrack+ isn't very good, never was.

Thank you Shadowserg for this gameplay, to be honest I suck at shoot 'em up, maybe I can absorb some of your greatness by watching you play. I'm watching the first two bosses this is insane, I need a Shadowserg podcast on your opinion on how did you tamed this beast of a game, omg. Nasu reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus. I was looking into retro achievements and this masterpiece has no achievements. Well this is too much my head can process and yeah I'll definitely see the Thunder Force V video.

[@Cutie_Bunny_Gal]

"(No Damage)"? There's no damage system here son, one hit and that's it, you're done for. That should either be "(No Miss)" or "(No Deaths)" Either way, awesome gameplay there! =3

Nice playthrough, makes me want to bust out my GameCube copy of Ikaruga & play that again.

[@glassdrago3144]

Same universe, just that the stone reset the whole thing. Lucky for us(not the pilot of the ikaruga) In the game Ikaruga, we get to finish what the radiant silver wing couldn’t do: stop the universe from resetting.

[@nintendogamer3227]

@@glassdrago3144 I always thought that Ikaruga could make a great action movie. Not sure who'd play the female (black) pilot, but the ingame image of the white pilot reminds me of Johnny Depp. He could have a look like he did in Edward Scissor Hands or Sweeney Todd but with heavy white make-up. I'd love to see crazy ship battles in a movie version of this game.

Behold: The world of bullet-hell SHMUPs and their tiny hitboxes

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

Most SHMUP ships and characters have tiny hitboxes around their cockpit/heart instead of the entire sprite/model. It's especially vital in the more difficult ones like Touhou, Mushihime-Sama and Radiant Silvergun, as the tight and fast bullet patterns would make them unplayable if they had bigger hitboxes.

I love this game so much. I learned the scoring routes too. A little odd to see someone playing on hard and not playing for score but no less entertaining. Most of the routes I know of for don't play on hard because the patterns kind of screw with scoring. Some of the enemies get revenge bullets, which really sucks.

@@xendakakorva3267 Revenge bullet is a SHMUP term where when you destroy a small ship it shoots a bullet or group of bullets at you. This can get out of hand when there's a lot of enemies on the screen.

Be attitude for gains...

[@dudesinashoe7812]

The heck does the “be attitude for gains” mean? It feels like it should be hints on how to fight the boss but actually reading them is gibberish. Maybe its just there to look cool?

[@jackylee5850]

That's just your typical Japanese Engrish, but it's not too hard to interpret. Attitude here can be interpreted as it's personality, as in how it acts, and gain can mean advantage. So it's basically a vague way of saying: These are the 3 main points on how the boss behaves, take note of them to gain the upper hand Same goes for the tips, they are kinda vague but they give you a rough idea of their meanings. Take the first boss for example, plain shoot/evasion tech means normal shooting and dodging will suffice, and tiny valor means it's not very challenging

[@dudesinashoe7812]

@@jackylee5850 oh you know what that actually makes a ton of sense 🤔 i figured it was SOME sort of idk stylized hint system but for the life of me i could not understand some of them (due in part to me being pretty stoned when i made this comment) Thats pretty clever. Do you know of any other games do something similar? I wanna see more of these odd engrish tech tips, and more weird shmups. Another weird thing i’ve noticed as an aside; alot of these games end up being like… weirdly existential? Ones with mechs and such like evangelion, this and xenogears come to mind that they start with beeg robots and for some wild reason end with the MC killing God which for that same wild reason is a robot?

Xiga sounds like Ultraman Tiga

[@LumanareM]

Given his(?) appearance, and the fact Ultraman Tiga aired from September 7th, 1996 to August 30th, 1997, it wouldn't be too surprising to find out Xiga is a reference to Tiga. Edit to include some info: Radiant Silvergun first released in Arcades in Japan on May 28th, 1998, with the Saturn port coming out on July 23rd that same year, which helps further the idea it's a reference to Tiga. I honestly wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to find out Xiga's design and attacks are a reference to Tiga, given the time frame between Tiga's airing and Radiant Silvergun's initial release.

Did any former Irem employees work for Treasure? Is that why they added Gallop here, which by the way looks nothing like the Peacemaker from Cosmic Cop, but more like the R-9C from R-Type 2 You defeated Penta too quickly. After using the enlarged radiant sword 4 times if the boss is still alive the two silverguns will disconnect from their umbilical cables and charge towards you in a suicide run, erupting into a massive explosion when they get close enough Also, are you sure you didn't enable some kind of invincibility? At 35:55 several pieces of those radiant sword fragments covered your ship, that would have been a death right there

It's one of many things that inspired Zer0Ranger. The "main" motivation if anything is Buddhism in general, especially the concept of the cycle of reincarnation, and Eboshidori's own older Fraxy series more than anything honestly. Radiant Silvergun did inspire the true final boss sequence of Zer0Ranger though.
