publishing label for PlayStation 4. This version includes a number of exclusive additions such as an easier difficulty setting and the ability to play with two aircraft simultaneously in single-player. Reception and legacy According to Yuichi Toyama, Sorcer Striker did not perform poorly. In Japan, Game Machine listed it on their August 1, 1993 issue as being the seventh most-popular arcade game at the time. Richard Löwenstein of German magazine Amiga Joker drew comparison with Truxton. The X68000 version was met with positive reception. GameSetWatchs Todd Ciolek noted that the game "didn't quite stand out as much as the Aleste series had". In a 2010 interview, composer Manabu Namiki regarded Sorcer Striker as one of the shoot 'em up games he enjoys the most. Hardcore Gaming 101s Kurt Kalata regarded it to be "an excellent game, though one that tends to be forgotten in favor of Raizing's more innovative and ambitious titles". Famitsu gave the PlayStation 4 version an overall 25 out of 40 score. Sorcer Striker was the first entry in the Mahō Daisakusen trilogy. A sequel, Kingdom Grand Prix, was first released for arcades in 1994 before being published on Sega Saturn in 1996 by GAGA Communications as a Japan-exclusive release. A third entry, Dimahoo, was only released for arcades by Capcom in 2000. Gain, Chitta, Miyamoto and Bonum would re-appear as guest characters in both Battle Garegga and Armed Police Batrider.
