Is RAYSTORM legit?
🤔 The RAYSTORM app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
This game is amazing. Played since h was 6 years old. Always played it on hard mode. The game comes with 2 modes thank god. The original version is the exact same which is amazing! I love it so much! But the new iPhone version is completely dumbed down to a point where anyone can do it. One of the things about this game I loved was being one of the only few to ever clear it, even on easy mode. But now, even people that put in no effort will clear it. It's a real shame. Don't waste you time with the iPhone mode, play the integrated version. :) have fun! :)
No iPad support
Bought this to play on my iPad unfortunately no full screen support and limited options, very expensive for the age of the title there better and cheaper titles available, update for IPad required.
Can't recommend unfortunately.
AAAA++++
TAITO, please bring all the cool games over here! I love it! - AAAA++++
Love this PSX classic!
I don’t get the hate for this game. The remastered the graphics are fitting and it’s such a fun SHMUP. Cool bosses and I love the way the levels twist around your ship. I love all three in the series.
WHY WONT IT "TOUCH TO START"? IM DONE!!! HELP ME TAITO! FIX THIS!
When I open RAYSTORM, It obviously goes through the Taito™ Logo and then goes to the Touch to Start screen aka the Start Screen. So I tap to start the game. And it won't work. The words "Touch To Start" just stay there and then fade out and come back and fade out again. You know what I mean but. Anyways, I just stay there tapping my screen so hard that I'm sure that I was on the brink of breaking the iPad Screen. So I played RayForce... Which is not included in this review because this is my review about RAYSTORM, So RAYSTORM wouldn't startup. So I just want Taito™ to fix this. They either fix this with an update or they give a refund.
5 Stars!
This last update is just so awesome! I love the graphics update and the controls update. I'm so glad I spent money on this amazing game! Works great on my iPhone 6s+ running iOS 10.3.2
REALLY????? AMAZING PORTS!!!!!
When I found RAY STORM and RAY FORCE in the App Store, I was very skeptical about buying these games.
I bought them and find I'm forcing myself to quit playing these games.
I quickly forgot about the $15 I spent for RAY STORM and RAY FORCE. Very happy and satisfied.
Please add MFI support for these great games.
Cool port but.....
Nice port of a ps1 classic but needs the option to change the screen orientation to get the longer vertical view(portrait) like a true shmup should have. It deserves a 5 star review but this small problem keeps it from getting that perfect rating. I just don't understand why Rayforce had the good view but this one doesn't :/ still a great game though, and a steal at 3.99. Playing on iPhone 6s Plus version 9.2 operating system.
What about the 3rd
I remember a third game in the ray series called raycrisis. Why didn't they remake that one
One of the most beautiful Japanese shooters ever
Ever since I first played this game in the late 90’s, I was completely mesmerized — by the gameplay and the production values. And I’m glad that I can relive those memories again — right in the palm of my hand.
One thing, though: I would like to see an update for the screen to be expanded to fit the 4-inch display of the iPod Touch 5th generation and later iPhones. I believe that would create an even more immersive experience for owners of these devices.
Also, I hope an iOS port of RayCrisis is in the works. I will get it for sure :)
Keep the awesome games coming!
