  Why would you compile a 'new port', call it a '2015 edition', then release it in a worse state than your previous one? 24fps lock, max res of 1280x800, and trash sound quality. If you want to play this, just get the '1994 classic edition': https://store.steampowered.com/app/358360/Raptor_Call_of_the_Shadows_1994_Classic_Edition/

  Sound doesn't work well, and the mouse is buggy, and saves don't overwrite, so it's easy to run out of slots if you're not paying attention. Nostalgia value only,

  As a small heads up, there are a few shortcomings with this game compared to the original 1994 DOS version: 1) Saves do not overwrite, which means you'll usually have to manually delete a bunch of old saves. 2) Music is low fidelity compared to the crisper sounding 1994 edition. 3) All Sectors achievement is bugged, completing all sectors will not grant you the achievement, unless something weird occurs. These takeaways greatly detract from the gameplay experience, especially the first one, but compared to the DOS version this one is more "low-end PC friendly" as it is a native application rather than an emulated DOSBOX program, greatly increasing the overall performance. As for the game itself, it is rather enjoyable as a nostalgia trip, definitely worth checking out especially now that it is on sale.

  I played this game when I was a kid growing up all the time. So when I saw it released today. I HAD to buy it. Its an instant classic. But god damn I don't know how I did it when I was a kid, but this game is HARD. If you like old school bullet hell games. That you need to act fast and move fast and shoot fast, this game is for you. Takes skill and hand and eye coordination out the ass to perfect it. The money system is based off how much shit you blow up, and how many enenmys you kill. Earning money at the end of missions takes you back to the hanger where your able to buy and sell a nice selection of items. If you grew up with this like I did, BUY THIS GAME 10/10

  Just finished Bravo Sector after something like 20 years and I must say: It is so lovely to have my favorite shoot 'em up on Steam now! And with Achievements! You'll see pixels, although there is a "high resolution" kind of mode, but if you've played it years ago you won't care for the graphics anyway. Only minus from my side is the missing full support for the buttons of the Xbox-Controller. But I found a workaround to make it work somehow (see my forum post called "Xbox Controller"). I'm happy!

  It doesn't matter if you're 10 years old or 30, this game is still just as fun as it was 20 years ago. All that Steam needs now is Jazz Jackrabbit to go along with Doom and Rator and my childhood is complete.

  Holy hell, I did not expect to ever see this game on steam. Its one of the long lost classics of the 90s. Its amazing, the game itselfs is extremely long, with an amazing upgrade system to go with it. Missiles, rockets, laz0rz's, everything. Manage your currency and make sure to save your game! you will loose your progress if you dont. However, for a "2015 edition" its extremely lackluster. There is literally no new features in the game, it plays like its exactly as it was 15 bloody years ago. Is that a bad thing? hell no! but i expected at LEAST 1080p 60fps support. According to my steam meter, its running at 24fps. The way this game runs however, you dont feel it. Its easily playable, and for $5 this classic is a steal, I reccomend anyone looking for a nostalgic, or oldschool experience, grab this game!' I also need to mention the save system. Each save doesn't overright your last, it creates a new one. Tracking saves becomes a chore. This really is a lazy port, I really hope these issues are patched soon.

  The 1994 gem, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, is a great game! It's classic, vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up fun with a cool arsenal of weapons. It's not particularly difficult, but knowing which weapons to use at what points to rack up maximum damage makes for some fun strategy. And the music was great, too! Still gets me pumped! This 2015 update of an old gaming staple, though, is lazy and improves absolutely nothing about the game. Graphically, the game is unchanged. The game is still locked to a low FPS rate, and though the resolution is configurable via the game launcher, there is no option for 1920x1080. There IS an option for a "smoothing filter" though this does nothing more than muddy the whole appearance of the game. This version also still rocks the classic, midi tunes that made my young boy heart thump in anticipation of my airborne battles. However, the tracks don't loop seamlessly as I recall them doing in the original iteration. There seems to be a brief pause of silence at the end of a track before it picks up again from the beginning and it's quite annoying. Onto gameplay. At its core, this version of Raptor is excatly as the original. Controller support has been implimented, but it's sub-par. I still have to grab hold of the mouse on menus to know what I'm doing. On that note, though, when I do use the mouse, the on screen cursor will hit these mysterious vertical and/or horizontal "boundaries" past which cannot navigated without first giving the mouse shaking about the mouse pad. This I can't explain, but I've not had any similar issue with any other application on my PC. Lastly, what has proven to be MOST troublesome about this half-assed release is the completely unintuitive management of save profiles. I'm a gamer who saves often, and it wasn't long before I discovered that every time you save in this game, it does NOT overwrite the previous save, but instead creates ANOTHER save affiliated with the same name. Additionally, there's a very limited number of available save states, so if you forget to go back and delete previous saves from the main menu, you could came back to the hangar after having completed a mission only to discover that you CAN'T save your progress, and you can't delete previous saves without navigating back to the main menu, meaning that all progress from the previous save is inherently lost. It's the sort of thing that makes you wonder if the developers every bothered to play their port before releasing it to the public. I would NOT recommend this port to any person wishing to experience Raptor: Call of the Shadows. I would instead tell them install DOSBox and run the original version- it's actually a bit better.

  I didnt expect Raptor to be on steam, and when I saw it, I was amazed. After so many years, I remember myself playing the shareware episode all over and over, blasting through the Bravo Sector alot. Raptor is one of the best shoot'em'ups ever made, along with Tyrian (Which was my first game that i ever played, damn, so many memories.) I blasted through Bravo Sector once again, I blasted through Tango Sector (which was pretty hard), And I blasted through Outer Regions, which is my favorite episode from the game. Bought the twin laser, destroyed almost everything. The music in this game is really good. An experience that I will not forget. Its only 5 bucks, again, buy it! you will not regret.
