Raiden consists of eight vertical scrolling missions where the player maneuvers the Raiden craft dodging and destroying enemy robots, buildings, ground targets, and aircraft. There are bombs and missile powerups as well as collectable medals which add to the score. When player dies, the fighter's fragments become projectiles that damage enemies.
After defeating the Stage 8 boss, the mission is completed, and player receives 1 million points for each completed loop. Afterwards, it will start back to Stage 1. This time around, enemies shoot faster and at a more rapid rate.

TOUGH
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
This game is chewing on sandpaper while walking across broken glass barefoot in 130 degree weather tough. I love shoot 'em ups, but dang, this is punishing and brutal. If you think video games are getting too easy, spend the 7 bucks and grab this from arcade archives.

Sat down with a friend and we played the heck out of this early bullet hell game. Had a blast and it’s good for what it is. It’s gonna eat your quarters and wreck your thumbs.
