Play Raiden Fighters Jet Online

Game Overview

Raiden Fighters Jet is that last arcade shooter in the Raiden Fighters spin-off series, and it’s basically a love letter to fans. The whole premise is weirdly meta—you’re not even fighting a real war, just running combat simulations. But who cares when the action’s this good?

You’ve got all 14 fighters from the previous games to pick from, each with their own quirks. I usually end up sticking with the Raiden mk-II because old habits die hard, but some of the newer ships have wild shot patterns that make the screen explode in bullets. The usual drill applies: dodge a ridiculous amount of enemy fire, scoop up medals for points, and take down screen-filling bosses. But here’s the kicker—if you want to see the real final mission, you’d better not hit continue. It’s brutal, but that’s the charm.

If you’ve played any of the other Raiden games, this feels like coming home—just with more chaos crammed in. It’s in the Raiden Fighters Aces collection, so no need to hunt down an arcade cabinet.
