Thank you for playing Radiant Silvergun. We would also like to thank you for your feedback. This update addresses the following issues. Update We identified an issue in a specific boss battle where, under certain conditions, unintended behavior could occur and allow players to continuously earn score. This update adds a safeguard to ensure the process ends correctly, preventing unintended infinite score farming. We have also implemented this fix in a way that minimizes impact on the existing gameplay feel and replay data as much as possible. If you have any concerns after updating, please We apologize for the inconvenience, but please contact us with a bug report or support. Thank you for your continued support of Radiant Silvergun.

And if you've never played before you wouldn't have a clue how...

Replayable, beautiful art and music, amazing level design, and the chaining system allow for a lot of care and improv in your routing. Oh my God, don't even get me started on the music. Hitoshi Sakimoto (of FF Tactics fame) completely understood the assignment. He delivers a wonderful score that encapsulates all the colors of the...
