Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
A cool shmup with a system that's very similar to Psyvariar, but instead of the Buzz/Risk mechanic allowing for survivability, it increases firepower and the actions available.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Boasting an outstanding gritty pixel-art style with a decidedly retro style of sci-fi space opera ship designs, Risk System has a certain 90's anime flavor to its presentation that along with this new and fast-paced brand of shmup action makes the whole thing pretty irresistible .
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Solid voice acting and nice music add onto that to make a quality game overall.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
5 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Again, I have not finished the game yet but I am intrigued to see where the story goes.
