About This Game
Raiden Fighters does not wear its story on its sleeve—the clearest account of events comes from the opening prologue of its sequel. A guerrilla uprising, driven by a ruthless dictator, has torn apart a region of eastern Asia; mission briefings position each sortie over maps depicting China and Japan. A squadron of combat pilots is tasked with putting the uprising down, mission by mission, until the dictator's forces are dismantled.
