History VideoGame / Radirgy

''Radirgy'' was later followed by several sequels, such as ''Radirgy Noa'', ''Radirgy de Gojaru!'', ''Radirgy Swag'', and ''Radirgy 2''. Like the first game, ''Noa'' was originally released for arcades before receiving console ports for the Wii as ''Radirgy Noa Wii'', the UsefulNotes/Xbox360 as ''Radirgy Noa Massive'', and a lesser-known UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows port. It also notably brings back Ruki Mishima, [[PromotedToPlayable now as a secondary playable character]] following her HeelFaceTurn at the end of the first game, and also included voice acting for the characters. The game also has a spiritual successor in the form of ''VideoGame/{{Karous}}''. ''Radirgy 2'' is set for release on December 7th.

* LighterAndSofter: ''Radirgy'' is this to ''VideoGame/ChaosField'' and the former's own spiritual successor, ''VideoGame/{{Karous}}''. Where as the latter two games have dark post-apocalyptic setting with a bleak or dark storyline, ''Radiry'' features bright, color anime-styled visuals and a lighthearted story.
