Raiden X
About Raiden X
A classic Flash-based vertical scrolling shoot 'em up heavily inspired by the legendary arcade series, featuring intense bullet-dodging gameplay and multiple weapon upgrade paths.
How to play Raiden X
Control your fighter jet through vertically scrolling environments, destroying waves of enemy aircraft, tanks, and stationary turrets. Use the arrow keys to navigate the screen and dodge incoming enemy projectiles. Press the Z key to fire your primary weapon and the X key to deploy a powerful bomb, which clears the screen of enemy bullets and deals massive damage to all targets in range.
Collect floating power-up items to enhance your offensive capabilities, cycling between the red vulcan cannon for a wide spread, the blue laser for concentrated forward damage, and the purple plasma beam. Grab missile power-ups to equip homing or straight-firing secondary missiles. Focus on gathering gold medals dropped by enemies to maximize your score while saving your bombs for tense boss battles at the end of each stage.
