I played the original Raptor many years ago—and then kept playing it for years after that. It was one of my favorite games, and it holds a very special place in my memories. So when I saw that Raptor had two versions on Steam, I thought: “Hey, why not relive some of that childhood nostalgia with a newer, supposedly improved version?” Oh, how naive I was. Enter the 2015 edition. This version somehow...

I kinda hate shmup games. Most are way too hard to really be much fun. I am 45, I don't have reflexes like a cat, and I don't want to memorize every single enemy spawn just to have a chance at finishing this game. Which is why I love this game. Its totally beatable by the average gamer, you don't need to be a shmup freak. I also love that it is has an upgrade store. Not frantic upgrades you die trying to get, and...

I played this the first time as kid on my father's PC via a demo on the PC magazine CD. So much good memories and my first touch point with vertical Shoot-’em-up games that then I later played a lot on arcade machines. All just to point out that wouldn't the game been a good representer of its genre, I wouldn't spend many more hours on the genre. I loved the over the edge military scenario, weapon and enemy variety,...

Fun game, but achievement hunters beware. There's numerous instances of people talking about specific annoying achievements not popping and i have one myself i've multiple times attempted which has failed to pop for at this point hours of attempts. Game itself is enjoyable, though.

Know how satisfying it is to smash bubble-wraps?? Well, Raptor C.O.T.S. is the 'bubble-wrap smashing for me! I go through it again and again and again.

A bit better version of the classic shoot'em up. This time game runs at 24 FPS instead of 15 FPS on DOSBox. Controller is working fine, just make sure to manually save after each mission or risk losing progress as there's no autosaving feature. Game is missing also some CRT filters to make it feel more nostalgic. Gameplay is good and controls responsive. Take on 4 different locations with a few missions each. After...

Found this game on an eGames Galaxy of Games Red Edition disc near 2000-2001. top down scrolling shooter with 32+ missions between 3 sectors and 4 difficulties, money you earn after every mission to buy weapons, shields etc. This is obviously not a traditional arcade shmup, this has depth, likely more than most in this catagory which is commendable for a low budget mid 90s game that was only on PC. besides the dated...

I liked the original game, but this version is terrible, poor screen aspect ratio, unexpected crashes, you save your game and never know which version is the last one.
