How to Play Raiden X Online

Control your fighter jet through vertically scrolling environments, destroying waves of enemy aircraft, tanks, and stationary turrets. Use the arrow keys to navigate the screen and dodge incoming enemy projectiles. Press the Z key to fire your primary weapon and the X key to deploy a powerful bomb, which clears the screen of enemy bullets and deals massive damage to all targets in range. Collect floating power-up items to enhance your offensive capabilities, cycling between the red vulcan cannon for a wide spread, the blue laser for concentrated forward damage, and the purple plasma beam. Grab missile power-ups to equip homing or straight-firing secondary missiles. Focus on gathering gold medals dropped by enemies to maximize your score while saving your bombs for tense boss battles at the end of each stage.

How to Play Raiden X Online

Press Play Now. The game opens in a new tab and starts in your browser – nothing to download or install.
On a computer, play with the keyboard or plug in a USB or Bluetooth gamepad. Open the player menu to see or remap the keys.
On a phone or tablet, use the on-screen buttons. Turn the device sideways for a bigger screen.
Use the save state option in the player menu to keep your progress between sessions.

Tip: a gamepad makes special moves and long combos much easier than the keyboard.
