You are First Space Sergeant Max Blaster, fighter pilot and archenemy of evil space creeps everywhere. Sharp-witted with even sharper reflexes, it's up to you to dodge asteroid fields and decimate aliens attacking from the top of the screen. Blast forward and take a stand against the odious Supercreep and his synchronized hordes to stop them from destroying all humans in this challenging, colorful space shooter.
Radiant HD gives you arcade shoot 'em up goodness the way you like it, blending retro tropes like limited movement (right and left only) with modern takes on the genre such as upgradeable weapons and on-screen power-ups.
Battle on one of three difficulty settings through a three-part story with over 100 levels. Collect power-ups, upgrade an impressive arsenal, and dodge your foes to stay alive. Destroy over 10 huge bosses like the Planet Cruncher, the Hunters, and the Supervisor. The challenges may be steep, but the power at your disposal is staggering.
Blasting asteroids, groups of baddies, and larger enemies can reveal credits in 25, 50, and 100 increments. Collect these and every few stages you'll get a chance to spend them on upgrades to your guns. Each weapon can go up to level 10, and the rate of fire and number of rounds fired with each shot will improve as you buy upgrades. Invest wisely in each of these interchangeable extensions like you would in a role-playing game to smooth out your weaknesses and prepare for any challenge that may come your way. They include:
- Vulcan Cannon, a traditional blaster that fires rapidly but is fairly weak
- Bio Blaster, a small, slow shot that deals enormous damage upon impact
- Plasma Gun, a well-rounded weapon with moderate speed and firepower
- Disruptor Laser, a powerful but slow laser that carves through hordes of enemies
- Seeking Missiles, homing rockets that steer toward the nearest creep
- Smart Gun, small, rapid shots that fire straight then curve toward the nearest enemy
Radiant HD doesn't just ask you to dodge rocks and return enemy fire; it rewards you for your destruction and smooth moves with helpful power-ups. Like collecting credits, other power-ups may appear when you destroy your enemies. Unlike credits, though, these goodies will sate your need for instant gratification. They include:
- Energy Shield, a guard that covers the front of your ship and absorbs painful projectiles
- Megablast, a screen-clearing blast that wipes out all visible enemies
- Time Freeze, a convenient time stopper that lets you gun down your foes while they sit helpless
- Various gun power-ups, an instant increase to the level of the weapon indicated on the power-up icon
