Raystorm now available on the App Store
Taito's classic pew-pew-pew space shooter, Raystorm, is now available on the Apple App Store, for iPhone and iPod Touch. The 1996 arcade classic has been recreated for iOS with a pixel-perfect arcade mode, but there's also a new iPhone mode that brings new enemy attack patters, and updated graphics and sound. Manual and automatic weapons are selectable, and played will be able to control both the R-GRAY1 and R-GRAY2 fighters. To celebrate Raystorm's release, its prequel Rayforce is on sale for a limited time. Square Enix has dropped the price to $5.99 (regularly $11.99) from now through July 6. Raystom is available now, priced at $8.99. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)God I loved that game on Import Sega Saturn. I never knew what they were saying but the game was incredible. I still have it! Hey! I was just playing Raystorm on my Playstation! I used to have the demo for it when I was a kid and would play it ALLLL the time. It still disturbs me that the iPhone has a better shmup library (especially in the US) than the 360. And come on people, as far as Squeenix's ludicrous prices that they know their moron fans will pay go... This is extremely tame, and it's a pretty fair price nonetheless, assuming it isn't half-assed. 6:00 AM on 05.24.2013 Tetris Blitz now out, free for iOS and AndroidTetris Blitz is now available on iOS and Android for free.
