Now fast-forward to 2014, and we have UFO Interactive’s PS3 enhancement Port, Raiden IV: OverKill.
Ultimately, this resulted in a game not being experienced by as many people as it maybe should have been. This was unfortunate, though, because what Raiden had to offer was actually quite mechanically sound. $40 was just far too high of a price point for anyone outside of the hardcore shoot’em up fanbase. But, when it fizzes into life, it's also a lot of fun.The problem with Raiden IV when it first debuted here in North America back in 2009 on the Xbox 360 was simply that it was overpriced for the amount of content it offered. It's skittish and often sloppy, and sometimes it'll make you want to mash your face into a table. This is a a shooter with absolutely no brains. But it's not too unfairly skewed, and there's still a lot of dumb shooty action to enjoy. There's no energy system here, but Overkill 3 is clearly balanced to make you spend. There are annoyances, especially when it comes to the accuracy rating stat which often means you're blasting away at the air around a bad guy instead of hitting your perfectly aimed shot, but they don't drag the game down too much. The levels don't last more than a few minutes, but they look reasonably pretty, and there's a nice destructive heft to all the shooting and explosions. You can toss grenades, swig health packs, and use special weapons like rocket launchers and air strikes with a few taps as well. Reloading ducks you behind cover, and there's a button that lets you aim down your sights for better accuracy. You aim with a stick in the left of the screen, and fire with a button on the right. Your shaven-headed grunt stands next to some cover, and you proceed to shoot everything that moves. The game is an over-the-shoulder third person cover shooter. It's just a slippery mess that'll make you smile while you're playing it. It's certainly not a classic, and it's still a bit of a slippery mess. There are currencies galore, adverts slightly-less galore, and lots of identikit goons to slaughter. It's colossally stupid, to the point where high-fiving the protagonist at certain points can earn you extra XP, but there's a woo-yeah-big-explosion beat to the play that's kind of infectious. Overkill 3 is a step in the right direction for the series.
