description Raiden II Overview
Raiden II is a 1993 vertical-scrolling arcade shooter developed and published by Seibu Kaihatsu as the sequel to Raiden. It preserves the original game's fighter-based combat while expanding the arsenal with the Bend Plasma, a lock-on weapon that tracks enemies and deals sustained damage, and the Cluster Bomb, which deploys quickly over a broad area. It is intended for arcade players who want a traditional power-up shooter with distinct weapon choices and two-player support.
