Classic shmup Radiant Silvergun will arrive on PC this month after 25 years

I’m going to play this on a Steam Deck

Radiant Silvergun, widely considered one of the best shoot ‘em ups ever made, is finally coming to PC. Developed by Treasure, who are perhaps best known for Silvergun’s successorIkaruga, it’ll arrive via Steam on August 18th with local co-op, online leaderboards and downloadable replays.

Radiant Silvergun is a vertically-scrolling shmup that gives you seven weapons to play with right from the start: three primary attacks, three secondary attacks created by combining them, and a sword. The fun and the challenge come from using each of your weapons for the situation to which they’re best suited, and much like marginally better-known sorta sequel Ikaruga, the colour of your enemies matters, here providing bonus points if you kill three of the same colour in a row.

Also, it’s bound to be perfect for Steam Deck. You’ll find theSteam page here.
