Being the spirtual successor to Radiant Silvergun, I was pretty hyped and greatly anticpated its release. I bought it on the Dreamcast when it was first released, too. Since it was under 1,000 yen on Steam, I bought it again. It&#8217;s weird seeing it in English. The game&#8217;s text can be switched to Japanese though. I appreciate how this game supports 4:3 aspect ratio monitors like my own. It runs perfectly on my Linux desktop through the Proton utility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a0d281cee0df&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\"
