Play Raiden Fighters 2 - Operation Hell Dive Online

Bullets fill the screen as you weave between enemy fire, switching ship types mid-battle when that slow bomber suddenly becomes a zippy interceptor. The AI actually adapts this time—expect smarter foes and chaotic moments where survival feels like dumb luck.

Game Overview

Raiden Fighters 2 cranks everything up—faster ships, smarter enemies, and way more chaos on screen than the original. At first glance it’s classic Raiden: dodge bullets, collect power-ups, and try not to crash into the scenery. But then you realize the CPU’s actually fighting back this time, and those "unique time-release" ships? They’re not just gimmicks—each one changes how you play halfway through.

What I love is how it still feels like an arcade cabinet game—no frills, just you versus an absurd number of enemy fighters. The new airships add some wild variety, like swapping from a slow tank to a nimble speedster mid-stage when you least expect it. And yeah, the difficulty’s brutal (of course it is), but in that satisfying "one more try" way.

If you’ve played any Raiden before, this is that, but dialed to eleven.
