Radiant Silvergun is a vertical scrolling Shoot 'Em Up by developed by Treasure, released exclusively in Japan for the arcades (on the Sega Titan-Video hardware) and on the Sega Saturn in 1998. It was ported to Xbox Live internationally on September 14, 2011. Roughly 11 years later, a Nintendo Switch port of the HD version was released on September 13, 2022; a physical edition, including limited editions thereof, was available in early-2024 by Limited Run Games. Finally, a PC version for Steam was released on November 2, 2023.The game-play is rather unique, allowing various combinations of three buttons to fire any of seven weapons at any time, as well as a powerful charged attack. The game eschews Power-Ups found in other shoot 'em ups: instead, weapons increase in strength as you score points with them, and destroying a chain of enemies that have the same color gives higher and higher bonuses as the chain continues. Thus, players will need to use a variety of attack methods to level up each weapon evenly, as well as NOT destroying enemies of other colors as to not break the chain. Failure to do so results in a near Unwinnable scenario against the Final Boss, as under-leveled weapons are ineffective and rendered useless. The game is designed so that there is almost always an optimal weapon for any situation. Like previous Treasure games, Radiant Silvergun concentrates heavily on boss battles that are designed so that they have multiple parts and segments which, if all were to be destroyed before the "core" of the boss, will reward players with point bonuses. Being able to apply the right weapons against any of the game's many bosses is key to obtaining these bonuses. The infamous boss warning screen appears about two dozen times and bosses take numerous different forms to try to annihilate players.The story is rather bleak and depressing for a Shoot 'Em Up: on July 14, 2520 A.D., a strange crystalline object called the "Stone-Like" is found in the ruins of an ancient city, which then proceeds to kill everyone on Earth. Players take control of a pilot in a small crew that escaped the Stone-Like's explosion, helming the eponymous Silvergun and returns to the planet to discover the secrets behind the artifact. Things are just getting worse from this point on.See also Ikaruga, the Spiritual Successor to Radiant Silvergun. Not to be confused with Radiant Historia or Radiata Stories. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Although Story Mode's Stage 1 dialogue appears to be the memories of humanity heard throughout time, possibly being played back by the Stone-Like itself, it's implied by game director Hiroshi Iuchi that it's intentional symbolism about the video game industry - the meddling between game retailers, developers, and publishers, with hardcore gamers caught in the middle. | |

Where It All Began: Two instances: The return to the Earth Defense Army Headquarters during Stage 5, where the Stone-Like unleashed its Depopulation Bomb in Stage 2. A broader one happens in Stage 1, where the protagonists are sent back in time 100,000 years by the Stone-Like. Not so coincidentally, this is roughly when modern humans, genetically speaking, first appeared. | |

All There in the Manual: There's additional back-story in Secretary Igarashi's journal, which puts more focus on the researchers' findings. As it turns out, in addition to the Stone-Like and C.R.E.A.T.O.R. 00104's fossilized torso, the prehistoric layer contained what appears to be ruins that seemed too technologically advanced for the time period. Coincidentally, the EDA headquarters is built right on top of it. | |

| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_18c4c279 | comment |
The arcade version of Stage 5 only consists of a single boss fight preceded by a very small level portion, though the fight is a Level in Boss Clothing to compensate. Story Mode adds a second boss to the level. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Common action game logic would dictate you kill every enemy you see. Not so in this game, where due to the system of rewarding destroying enemies of one color, you'll have to let roughly half of the enemies live in order to optimize your score and weapon levels. However, if playing with Ikaruga scoring, the player can destroy most enemies due to being able to switch colors after every chain, but they still need to be careful since they have to shoot groups of three same-colored enemies. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The Boss Subtitles actually do provide useful information about the boss you're about to encounter, but it's intentionally made so cryptic the average gamer won't figure it out before the fight...or even far after the fact, that is, until the Final Boss, where its clues are three easy-to-follow hints: As an example, take the boss DAN-564, which is a giant pillbug. One of the items listed is a move name, "6464-q". The Japanese often use numbers (and letters, here) to represent certain words or sounds: "64" is shorthand for "mushi" or "bug"; "q" in this case means "kyuu" or "ball". You know it's coming, but do not taunt Bug Bug Ball. | |

Adam and Eve Plot: After the complete annihilation of humanity and the Stone-Like goes dormant, C.R.E.A.T.O.R. 00104 creates clones of Buster and Reana in the far past to restart humanity once again. His name alone makes the allusion even more blatant. | |

Adaptation Expansion: In the home ports, "Saturn"/Story Mode not only makes the player go through all stages as opposed to a mutually-exclusive choice between Stage 2 or 4 in arcade mode/version, but also expands upon Stage 5 by adding the SBS-33KI boss after SBS-130 and Stage 6 by adding a gauntlet of bosses before engaging the Final Boss, Xiga. | |

Arrange Mode | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_2b50986a | comment |
Arrange Mode: In the Saturn Mode added in the Sega Saturn version (renamed Story Mode in the later HD ports), instead of choosing from Stage 2 or Stage 4 after completing Stage 3, players do both Stage 2 and 4 in a row. This mode also allows access to a New Game Plus mode where the Silvergun's weapon levels are carried over to another playthrough if one desires. On the downside, there are limited continues (or, in the HD ports, none at all). The Xbox 360 and Switch ports have an unlockable "Ikaruga Mode" which switches up the scoring system to its spiritual successor; the Steam version also has this mode available right from the startnote Sets of three enemies don't have to be the same color to continue the chain, but the combo score Cap is 25,600 instead of 100,000. | |

Out of Order: In-Universe example - in the scene where the Stone-Like's explosion destroys the world, it occurs at exactly 9:38 PM according to one scene in the game. However, in Stage 2 (which takes place on the same day), the player does not reach the beginning of Stage 2E until 9:58 PM, exactly 20 minutes AFTER THE EXPLOSION SUPPOSEDLY TOOK PLACE. The player still has a little ways to go by this point until the end of the stage, too. | |

Homing Projectile: The Silvergun has three types of homing weapons - a standard homing shot that fires very fast, but deals low damage, plasma lasers that lock onto targets and repeatedly electrocutes them, and spreading lasers that strike enemies within range of the Silvergun. While rare, enemies also have access to homing projectiles and they tend to be some of the most dangerous attacks in the game. | |

"Everybody Dies" Ending | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_55cd4012 | comment |
"Everybody Dies" Ending: The game starts with a cutscene showing all of humanity getting wiped out apart from the main characters, and things don't get any better from there. Those still alive die in the end as the Stone-Like releases another wave of light and worse, they are now stuck in a time loop of this happening over and over again.. | |

Easier Than Easy | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_56df9ba7 | comment |
Easier Than Easy: The console ports have a "Very Easy" difficulty...on their own terms, anywaynote Yes, this is the easiest difficulty of the game. It does simplify or remove a lot of hazards and boss attacks, but a lot of the major obstacles and challenging melee attacks remain. | |

| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: The Hyper Sword is of the "collect" type - after swiping away 10 pink bullets with the Radiant Sword weapon, its next usage is a Hyper Sword attack which sweeps two massive blades across the screen and makes the Silvergun invincible for its duration. | |

Nintendo Hard: Oh lawd, is this game TERRIFYINGLY hard. If one isn't a hardcore gamer, setting the difficulty to Very Easy is a must, and even then, the game shows no mercy. In most shoot 'em ups, players tend to use their first continue by the time they reach the second stage. In this game? By the time most players come out of Stage 3, the digit in the score that tracks the number of continues used might already be maxed out! Let's not get started on the chain scoring system... | |

| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_637ef67 | comment |
New Game Plus: Over the course of the game, the Silvergun's weapons level up as more points are earned. Saturn Mode in the Saturn version (or Story Mode in the HD versions) of the game saves these levels and lets players start the game over again with them. Eventually, one will be able to start the game from the beginning with maxed-out weapons. On the downside, there are limited continues (initially none at all), but more can be unlocked by playing Arcade Mode (the HD version changes this to no continues at all, with playing Arcade Mode giving more lives on a single credit, instead). | |

Marathon Level | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: What the game lacks in terms of number of stagesnote In Arcade Mode, there's only four full-bodied stages, three of which a mandatory due to a mutually-exclusive choice, and two Boss Only Levels. Saturn Mode, on the other hand, makes Stage 6 much longer and makes players go through all six stages, it makes up for by making them very long. For context, Stage 3, the first stage in the game, takes about ten minutes to complete, while the longest stage in the game, Stage 4, takes twice that long. | |

The Scourge of God | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_9521acf7 | comment |
The Scourge of God: The Stone-Like, but it's also very close to a "Gaia's Avenger" because after everyone else dies, C.R.E.A.T.O.R. tells the player that not only is the Stone-Like the guardian of Earth, it is the Earth. For those who think the Stone-Like's actions are hypocritical, keep in mind that it's said to be the guardian of Earth, not the guardian of humanity. | |

Evolving Attack | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_abc66b07 | comment |
Evolving Attack: The crux of the game-play involves leveling up each of the three weapons through scoring and chaining enemies effectively. The weapons and their respective combinations not only deal greater damage, but their unique properties also evolve as they become stronger (e.g. Vulkan's single fire becomes bigger while the rapid shots widens its spread, Homing fires larger bullets, Spread leaves larger explosions). | |

Die Laughing: The AKA-O's spastic movements implies that it is laughing at the player's attempt to stand up against the Stone-Like as they encounter it early into Stage 3, and it continues to do so all the way through the boss battle proper. Even after it gets destroyed by the player or it self-destructs, AKA-O is still yakking it up while it's being blown to smithereens. | |

Scoring Points | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd | comment |
Scoring Points: Killing three enemies of the same color results in "chain" bonuses, which get higher as players score more successive chains. However, unlike Ikaruga and its mercy of allowing a change of colors between chains, shooting a single enemy of a different color will result in losing the chain entirely (unless players are attempting to hit the "secret" chain.note Hit one or more red(s), then a blue and a yellow in succession to earn 10,000 points; continue this chain with only yellow units to increase points by 10,000 until the maximum 100,000 There are also other ways to earn extra points. Players can graze their ship's hitbox towards obstacles or oncoming fire (indicated by sparks flying off from the Silverguns) that rewards a steady stream of points overtime. Each of the Silvergun's seven weapons have a unique Weapon Bonus that rewards 10,000 points by performing certain feats with the respective weapons (e.g. 200 successful shots with the Vulkan, locking onto the same enemy for 10 seconds with Homing Plasma). Hidden throughout each Stage is MERRY, a hidden dog that rewards extra points of varying amounts (from 10 points to 200,000 points) when discovered by using the Lock-on Spread. Finally, the game grades players based on their ability to destroy the bosses and each of its destructible pieces, with a 100,000 points rewarded for a 100% "PERFECT" destruction rate. Ignoring this trope is not recommended as the Silvergun's weapons need points to level up; score poorly and damage output from its arsenal become underpowered by the later stages. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Most bosses in Radiant Silvergun are a reference to something else. It goes hand-in-hand with the Eternal Recurrence and Subtext commentary on the state of the gaming industry; some of these bosses are implied to both be man-made creations from previous cycles as well as other gaming titles. The Gallop you face off against in Stage 3C is a direct reference to the R-Type series. The name references Armored Police Unit Gallop, which is set in the series and takes place around R-Type Delta. Gallop itself has three Attack Drones that behave just like the Force Device and Bits (and that includes launching the "Force" at you!), as well as a Wave-Motion Gun like the R-Type fighters. Final Boss Xiga is, oddly enough, Ultraman. Guy has more than a passing resemblance to another hot-blooded similarly-named Gai who also gets himself killed. | |

| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_d15c1086 | comment |
Boss-Only Level: The arcade version of Stage 5 only consists of a single boss fight preceded by a very small level portion, though the fight is a Level in Boss Clothing to compensate. Story Mode adds a second boss to the level. Stage 6 (in the arcade version) is nothing but a fight against the Final Boss, while Stage 1 (in every version) is a "fight" against the Stone-Like, but players only have to avoid its attacks for a full minute. | |

For those who think the Stone-Like's actions are hypocritical, keep in mind that it's said to be the guardian of Earth, not the guardian of humanity. | |

High-Pressure Blood | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_dc0d80ee | comment |
High-Pressure Blood: When Buster was mocking Reana's theory about the identical C.R.E.A.T.O.R. robonoid found in the excavation site as its twin, she responds by clocking him in the nose, with an eruption of blood shooting through his nostrils while he collapses as a result. Buster is later seen on the floor unconscious with a pool of his blood from his injury. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: The HD versions of Radiant Silvergun features the ability to play the game with the original ST-V/Saturn graphics (in nearest-neighbor scaling or bilinear filtering) or the remastered HD graphics (with optional bloom lighting) as well as using either the original mesh transparency effects or true alpha blending effects, an alternate HUD that keeps track of weapons experience and color chains, remastered anime cutscenes, a new Training Mode where players can practice previously cleared stages, online multiplayer, online leaderboards with shareable replays. In addition to the above, the Xbox 360 version also features ability to play the game with the scoring system used in Ikaruga if the player has at at least one achievement unlocked in that game on the same account; the Switch versions also has it as an unlockable for beating the game, while the Steam version has it available from the start. The Steam version also offer the ability to play the game in either "CLASSIC" (11:7) or "MODERN" (4:3) aspect-ratios. Unfortunately, the secret Options+ menu (which let players make hitboxes visible or alter the Silvergun's speed) was lost in the mix. Another issue in the HD versions is the game being presented in a 16:9 pillarboxed screen; even on non-16:9 displays, this results in a significantly reduced game window — a problem for players who don't have HDTVs or want to play on a CRT. | |

Boss Subtitles | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_e1aed0a9 | comment |
The Boss Subtitles actually do provide useful information about the boss you're about to encounter, but it's intentionally made so cryptic the average gamer won't figure it out before the fight...or even far after the fact, that is, until the Final Boss, where its clues are three easy-to-follow hints: | |

Goroawase Number | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_e23cfd5c | comment |
As an example, take the boss DAN-564, which is a giant pillbug. One of the items listed is a move name, "6464-q". The Japanese often use numbers (and letters, here) to represent certain words or sounds: "64" is shorthand for "mushi" or "bug"; "q" in this case means "kyuu" or "ball". You know it's coming, but do not taunt Bug Bug Ball. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Radiant Silvergun (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: The Xbox 360 version introduced by outright removing credits for its Story Mode whereas the Sega Saturn version previously had them in the Sega Saturn Mode, which also carried into the later Switch and Steam ports. The latter versions however does mitigate this (somewhat) by giving players extra lives for every ten minutes of playtime in Story Mode instead of every hour in the Xbox 360 version. | |
