Raiden

The game uses a top-down vertical-scrolling view. Players move their fighter through multiple stages, firing standard weapons and limited bombs at air and ground targets. Certain enemies drop weapon items that change shot type and increase firepower. Getting hit usually costs a life and reduces your weapon strength. Each stage ends with a large boss that tests positioning, route knowledge, and careful bomb timing.

The advanced combat aircraft controlled by the player, equipped with multiple weapon types and bombs.

Commit to the weapon type you handle best and stay around the lower half of the screen so you can read incoming fire. Memorize the placement of ground turrets and destroy them early before air enemies create crossfire. Do not hoard bombs; use them when a boss opens a dangerous pattern or when you are trapped. After respawning, focus on survival first and rebuild weapon power safely.

Tips and tricks

• The blue laser is excellent for focused boss damage, while the red shot is better for crowd control.
• Memorizing fixed enemy spawns in each stage greatly improves survival.
• Avoid staying too high on the screen, or fast bullets may become impossible to dodge in time.
