Raiden X is one of those classic shoot-'em-ups that just nails the arcade feel. It's a remake of Raiden II, but honestly, it holds up way better than you'd expect from a Flash game. Eight levels of pure bullet hell, with those satisfying power-ups that make your ship go from pea-shooter to screen-clearing monster in minutes.
First thing you'll notice? The controls are dead simple—Z to shoot, X to nuke everything (except you, thankfully). But don't let that fool you—some of those boss fights get brutal. I remember hitting level 3 for the first time and realizing I should've saved my bombs better. Pro tip: the spread shot upgrade is your best friend early on.
Best part? You can save after each level, so no starting from scratch every time. Perfect for when you just wanna squeeze in a quick run between things. The music’s got that classic arcade vibe too—loud, fast, exactly what you want when dodging a wall of enemy fire.
If you miss the old-school shooter grind, this one’s a solid way to kill an afternoon.
