19XX: The War Against Destiny vs Raiden

Developed and published by Capcom in 1995 (released 1996), this title is the fourth entry in Capcom’s WWII shooter series, blending historical themes with sci‑fi twists as the conflict escalates toward a nuclear apocalypse. Players can tackle the campaign solo or team up in co‑op mode, mastering power‑ups and massive boss encounters.

In the year 2090, humanity faces an alien onslaught from the Cranassians. The World Alliance Military deploys the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter, a captured alien craft turned weapon, to turn the tide. Players pilot this craft through eight vertical scrolling missions, dodging enemy fire, destroying robots, buildings, and aircraft while collecting bombs, missiles, and medals for high scores. After defeating the Stage 8 boss, the mission loops back to Stage 1 with faster enemies, rewarding players with a million points per loop. The game offers both single‑player and cooperative modes, delivering classic arcade action on the PlayStation 3.
