### 4/5 — Great setup. No co-op

*2026-07-04, version 1.9*

No buddy love. Would like to have a partner for boss battles. Pc and steam has local multiplayer support. 🙃 just saying. Have a nice day

### 4/5 — Great Games But…

*2026-04-16, version 1.9*

It works fine on my iPad Air 3 with a Bluetooth controller. On my iPhone 14 Plus full screen looks a little squished. Window works
👍😁

### 3/5 — Raiden II

*2026-01-11, version 1.9*

Please add Raiden II.

### 3/5 — Fast game play

*2025-11-10, version 1.9*

The game is just built too fast compared to the really game I used to play a long time ago. The bullets are coming twice as fast

### 4/5 — 楽しい

*2025-10-31*

アーケードで遊んでたゲームがスマホでできる…自分の様な3面エンドなヘボでもやってて楽しいゲームになっててありがたい。ただ、左右にフリックして振り切った時ゲーム画面がウィンドウ選択になっちゃうのがちょっとおしい。でもすごいBGMでこのSTGが遊べるのにはただただ感謝しかないです。

### 3/5 — Needs controller support

*2025-08-03, version 1.9*

Can’t really enjoy the game using the touch screen. Please add

### 3/5 — Great setup. No co-op

*2025-05-29, version 1.9*

No buddy love. Would like to have a partner for boss battles.

### 2/5 — Video

*2025-03-30, version 1.9*

La velocidad del touch con la del avión no coinciden, la escala de imagen debiera ser más pequeña.

### 3/5 — No Sound

*2024-12-19, version 1.9*

Sound does not work at all half the time.

### 2/5 — Overclocked

*2024-11-10, version 1.9*

Great game and series but this needs some updates. The game runs at like 4x speed and becomes impossible to play

### 2/5 — 買わなくて良かったかな…

*2024-09-19*

雷電1目当てでしたが、画面がやや縦長になってしまっていてちゃんと移植されてない印象を受けました
だからといって、ウインドウモードでやればいいって話では無いですよ

### 2/5 — Viel zu schwer

*2024-05-17*

Auch in leicht , die Level sind viel zu schwer, die schießen viel zu schnell , sehr schwer auszuweichen, habe, ganz anders im Erinnerungen.

### 3/5 — Time to upgrade

*2024-01-27, version 1.9*

1 Allows for level of difficulties setting
2 Allows for save and load at different stages
3 Allows for dual players
4 Allows for playing thru’ game pad 
Looking forward to see these happen

### 4/5 — Consistent stuttering on otherwise great ports

*2023-12-29, version 1.9*

The controls,sound,graphics are all done perfectly but the games stutter consistently, almost as if it’s running at 59 or 61 FPS.

If that issue if fixed these will be the definitive way to experience Raiden, short of getting an arcade machine.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2023-09-30, version 1.9*

Honestly, it works well on the iPhone 14 Pro. Go for it!
