Radiant takes you back to the golden age of arcade gaming. Battle through over 100 levels against hordes of alien invaders and massive boss ships. Between levels, you can upgrade your ship with a vast arsenal of weapons and gadgets. With its distinct neon art style, humorous dialogue, and classic 'shmup' gameplay, Radiant is a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern mobile action.

Our Expert Score

82/100

Radiant is a neon-soaked love letter to Space Invaders and Galaga, but with a modern upgrade system. The retro aesthetic is spot-on, featuring vibrant colors and a charmingly sarcastic storyline. It captures that 'one more go' feeling perfectly.

What sets it apart from simple clones is the weapon variety and the boss fights. You can customize your ship with various lasers, missiles, and shields, which adds a layer of strategy to the arcade action. It’s lighthearted, fast-paced, and looks fantastic on a mobile screen. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it polishes the classic shoot-'em-up formula to a mirror finish.

SoirEkim: My challenge to all players…
Sat Oct 01 2022 SoirEkim

Well, it’s more like a challenge for myself… I wanted to see if the missions could be completed using only one weapon. After I complete all missions each with a unique weapon I’ll update this review… Love that this game is compatible with both Microsoft’s X Box One S and Sony’s PlayStation 4 wireless controllers through Bluetooth connectivity. May also be compatible with iOS wireless controllers but why buy that when I have two others to chose from? Would love to see more missions released to continue the story line even though… (Sorry, No Spoiler) …you’ll just have to play to see what happens. Great way to burn time. Especially for those who grind to advance on the leader boards. See you there…

Brings Back memories

The first time I got this game was when it first came out which was in 2010. And I still remember the memories and the fun time I had playing this game. Thank you so much for updating it, so I can still use it on my newer devices. Keep up the good work and please try to add some new levels or new features in the future.

An IOS true classic!

Perfect game

I’ve had this game on every smart phone I’ve ever had, so at least 15 years now. It’s so satisfying to play! The sounds, the colors, and especially the blissful lack of ads. Thanks for keeping it updated all this time!

Great Time Killer

I’ve had this game for years now and I view it as a staple in my game apps. The graphics are beautiful with that classic feel and the game play itself is always fun and addicting. Seriously give it a try if you need a game that is fun but challenging in it’s own right.

Favorite Game on my iPhone 8

I've had this game since it released on the app store seven or eight years ago and the developers have maintained it to perfection. Hilarious, gorgeous, and absolutely fun, I'll be playing Radiant for years to come.

Still amazing in 2020

Got this game many years ago and saw it again in the App Store today! One of the best games I’ve ever played and glad to see it still here today.

When's the next update?
