Raiden Korea is the official Korean arcade distribution of the legendary 1990 vertically scrolling shoot ’em up by Seibu Kaihatsu. You pilot the Raiden supersonic attack fighter to defend Earth from the alien Cranassians. Known for its intense difficulty and satisfying weapon upgrades, the game tasks you with battling through increasingly frantic waves of enemies and massive bosses.
How to Play
Pilot your fighter through enemy territory, dodging fire and destroying ground and air targets. Collect colored pickups to upgrade your primary attackโchoose between the widespread Vulcan cannon (Red) or the concentrated Laser (Blue). You can also equip secondary missiles. Use your limited bombs to clear the screen of incoming fire and deal heavy damage.
- Movement: Arrow keys
- Fire: Z, X, or Space
- Bomb: Shift or C
- Insert Coin: Right Shift (or 5)
- Start: Enter (or 1)
Tips
- Stick to one weapon type: Collecting the same color power-up repeatedly increases its power. Switching colors gives you the new weapon at its base level.
- Pre-fire your bombs: Bombs have a slight deployment delay before exploding. Trigger them just before you are trapped, rather than waiting until the very last second.
- Point-blanking: Getting up close to larger enemies and bosses allows all of your spread shots or lasers to hit simultaneously, taking them down much faster.
