📖 介紹
Pilot the Raiden fighter in this seminal 1990 vertical shooter. Master the dual-weapon system, dodge dense bullet patterns, and face massive bosses in the game that defined the bullet-hell genre.
Released in 1990 by Seibu Kaihatsu, Raiden is the seminal vertical-scrolling shooter that established the template for the bullet-hell genre. Its fast-paced action, challenging boss battles, and innovative mechanics set a new standard for arcade shooters and influenced countless titles that followed.
Players control the advanced Raiden fighter, switching between the rapid-fire spread shot and the powerful piercing laser. The game features a strategic bomb system to clear screens of projectiles, destructible enemy bullets, and a wide array of power-ups to customize your weapon loadout.
Set against a backdrop of military conflict, the game features distinctive mecha-inspired enemy designs and large, detailed boss ships. While the plot is minimal, the intense atmosphere is driven by a soundtrack blending military marches with synth-rock and realistic explosion effects.
Raiden's legacy is cemented by its iconic rotating cabinet, which allowed the monitor to switch between horizontal and vertical orientations. It spawned a successful series of sequels and remains a must-play classic for fans of precision shooting and dense bullet patterns.
