Play Raiden DX Online

Game Overview

Raiden DX is that classic arcade shooter where you're zipping through the sky in a fighter jet, dodging bullets and blowing up everything in sight. It feels like the old Raiden games—same satisfying weapons, same "oh crap" moments when enemy fire fills the screen. You start with a pea shooter, but wrecking buildings and enemies drops power-ups that turn you into a flying death machine.

What's cool is the three difficulty routes: Practice (just one level to get your bearings), Novice (five levels of solid challenge), and Expert (eight levels, including remixed versions that'll test your reflexes). Every stage ends with a big, screen-filling boss that takes a ridiculous amount of firepower to bring down. The music's got that classic arcade energy too—loud, fast, and exactly what you want when you're weaving through missiles.

It's pure arcade chaos, the kind where you'll lean into the screen without realizing it. Perfect if you miss the days of quarters on the cabinet.
