TAITO is famous for arcade shooting games, and the RAY trilogy is one of the most beloved series!
Ever since the 1993 release of the trilogy's first installment, RAYFORCE, fans have been thrilled by the game's cinematic visuals and gorgeous layered raster scrolling graphics. RAYFORCE became a 2D shooting instant classic, and now it's available for Android!
*Two Game Modes: Remix Mode and Arcade Mode!
The Remix Mode provides a new, smartphone-optimized experience with simple flick-style controls.
For the hardcore, Arcade Mode is a faithful touchscreen recreation of the original arcade game.
*Two Shooting Methods: Auto and Manual!
Auto Mode provides automatic, button-free firing for both the standard weapon and lock on laser, allowing players to take on this challenging game with a single finger.
Manual Mode adds weapon controls (a toggle for the standard shot and a fire button for the lock on laser), providing a more arcade-like play experience.
*Support Bluetooth controllers for Android!!
Key configuration is also possible!
*Google Play Compatibility!
Individual rankings have been prepared for each stage and for each game mode.
*Two Display Types: Zoom and Original!
The Zoom display enlarges the play area, filling the entire smartphone screen with dynamic visuals.
For the purist, the Original display mode delivers a pixel-perfect rendition of the arcade game's screen.
*Difficulty Modes Added!
A total of 8 difficulty modes are now available, ranging from Very Easy to Very Hard.
*RAYFORCE's gorgeous graphics and striking raster scrolling, perfectly recreated!
RAYFORCE owes much of its unique look to the arcade technology of the time, and no expense has been spared replicating those visuals for the smartphone edition of the game.
*RAYFORCE's enchanting soundtrack is back!
One of the highlights of the original RAYFORCE experience was its sound design, perfectly replicated here under the supervision of TAITO's ZUNTATA sound team.
*Added a arranged BGM by SHOHEI TSUCHIYA(ZUNTATA) on Area1!
Using Option setting,you can choose Original BGM or Arranged BGM!!

The arranged music for stage one almost made me return the game it was so bad. Thankfully it can be switched in the menu from arranged to original. The touchscreen controls are pretty nice combined with auto fire which I heavily suggest of you do not have a controller. Also make sure you play the remix mode to activate the good touch controls. If you select arcade mode the touch control is extremely unresponsive and you'll die quickly. I'm glad Taito decided to go with a reasonable business model and charge one reasonable price for the entire game unlike all my favorite Psycho shooters like Strikers 1945 and Gunbird 2 which are freemium titles that lock out 75% of the game's features to pressure you into spending way more than the game is worth. I won't spend a single penny on those games. I have no problems paying up front for a good game. Rayforce is one of my favorite shooters of all time. Two things that knocked a star off. 1.The game needs to run smoother 2. Sound effects flake out sometimes Not a knock against the game, but the exit screen is still in Japanese.

Reminds me of the many shmups I had for my Sega Saturn in '95... this game was the first of many I had with the Japanese version (called Layer Section there). Now if we could get a port of Darius Gaiden for android, that would be sweet! Thanks for the love, Taito and Zuntata!

I was so excited to see this game appear on the Play Store, it even has the ability to use physical controls. I highly recommend using a controller as the speed of your ship cannot keep up with your finger. Still fun with touch though

Love RAYFORCE!

Seems like a great port so far. Please add in the option to remove the on-screen buttons if you happen to use a physical controller and I'll bump this up to 5 stars!
