Raiden vs Raiden IV OverKill

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.

Raiden IV OverKill returns the classic arcade shoot'em up experience to modern platforms, adding a ruthless Overkill mode that pushes firepower to the limit. Players blast through waves of enemies, earn high scores, and strive for the Master Ace title. Available on PlayStation 3 and PC, the game offers both single‑player and cooperative play, letting friends team up to dominate the battlefield. Developed by MOSS Co., Ltd. and published by UFO Interactive Software, it delivers fast‑paced action with polished graphics and tight controls.
