OVERpowered, OVERswarmed, OVERthrilled.



<span class="bold">Raiden IV: Overkill</span>, a frenetic vertical scrolling shooter, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with a 30% launch discount.

In the days of yore when coin-ops ruled the Earth, top-down shoot-'em-ups were the best method of making humans deposit their hard-earned cash into the bellies of our rattling mechanical overlords. Coinops are nearly extinct now, but vertical scrolling shooters are here to stay, and Raiden IV: Overkill is the living, breathing, over-addictive proof! Clear screen after screen of swarming enemies with your formidably overpowered weaponry - leaving heaps of floating space debris in your wake. And be sure to gear up for the epic boss fights, because these oversized devils are going to take all the firepower and skill you can muster.

Collect weapons and power-ups, pump up your ship and try the all-new Overkill game mode, in which you'll earn points for eliminating enemies the moment they appear on screen. And all that with an impressive 3D coating that makes every bit of Raiden IV: Overkill look spiffier than ever.



Blow up scores of space-hoodlums and look cool doing it in <span class="bold">Raiden IV: Overkill</span>, now DRM-free on GOG.com. The launch discount will last until February 17, 1:59 PM GMT.


Note: Raiden IV: Overkill does not currently include Global Leaderboards and Replays, so the base price has been lowered to reflect this. The game's price will return to normal once these features are added. Owners of the game will not have to pay extra.

ReynardFox: 3. There's no way to disable the graphical borders, while this doesn't matter to everyone it annoys the shit out of me. I find every one of the included 'themes' visually obtrusive.
Thanks and I agree, I hate those too!
Been waiting for this.

Secret Gamemode. Not file. It's probably just a NG+.

Thanks for your reply. Looked like something downloadable, but a NG+ gamemode would make sense.

Huh. That's odd. I didn't notice that while looking at the gamecard. Maybe there's anime babes?

From the Raiden IV wiki:

INH has also offered a special PDF file DVD by preordering from their site. Named Raiden IV Secret File, the disc contains player ship specifications, enemy combat data, strategies for the game and concept art.
Nice to see this here. Just bought it. Thank you!
Ah finally a shooter. Was almost going to buy on Steam yesterday with the sale, but this is cheaper too.

BTW. Looks like some fans of Mushihimesama here are not aware of the existence of Eschatos, which IMO was the far more interesting PC release of 2015.

Could be had for Steam on Green Man Gaming for %50 + some additional coupon discounts at the moment, see the front page.

Nice, thanks! :)
Instabought, Raiden IV is a much better follow to Raiden II than III was and to have it DRM-Free? Amazing, great to see this and just another shmup on GOG.
WOW, did not expect this to happen. Gotta get this game soon!
I'm wondering if the GOG version of this game has the same music looping problem that the Steam version does. From Stage 2 on, right where the music is supposed to loop, there's either a pause for a half second, or it cuts in too early and cuts off the music. The game was patched on Steam, but that patch didn't fix anything, and I think made the looping problem worse in ways.

So, is the problem on the GOG version too?

Do you have a video or something where I can see this bug in action? I'd like to check on this, if you don't mind :)
What is NG+ and what is a strange fairy doing in a space shmup?
