Play Raiden Fighters Jet Online

Raiden Fighters Jet came out in arcades in 1998, developed by Seibu Kaihatsu. It was part of that late 90s wave of shooters where developers were really pushing the hardware, packing the screen with enemies and complex bullet patterns. This game sits comfortably in that era, a direct sequel that built on what its predecessors did without trying to reinvent the wheel.

You control one of several fighter ships, each with unique primary and secondary weapons, and your goal is to survive through seven stages of increasing intensity. The signature mechanics include a slave system, where you collect floating options that mirror your shots and can be configured for focused or spread fire, and a medal chaining system that rewards you for quickly destroying enemies to build a multiplier. The pacing is relentless; you are constantly making micro adjustments to navigate dense bullet patterns while managing your resources. It feels like a tense, high stakes puzzle where every movement matters.
