Description

Raiden Fighters puts you in the cockpit of seven high‑powered aircraft, including the iconic Raiden MkII and Judge Spear, across three intense missions. Each mission offers multiple stages that can appear in varying order, delivering replayable arcade action on PC. The game blends classic vertical‑scrolling shooter mechanics with single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑operative modes, letting you battle a guerrilla uprising over an Eastern Asian backdrop.
