Raiders 1941

Raiders 1941 is a vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up set across Europe during the fight against the Axis. You choose one of two top-secret experimental planes and battle through five levels, with each level ending in a boss fight.

Planes and combat

The Sparrow is faster and fires a narrow regular shot; the slower Hawk fires a spread-shot. Using your focus/power shot gives you extra firepower, but slows your plane and narrows its shot. Levels are difficult traversals through enemies and obstacles, including tanks, planes, ships, trains, turrets and artillery, followed by a challenging boss. Your mission ends in Berlin.

Game modes

Arcade mode is the main story mode, with five levels and bosses. Training Mode lets you select a level or boss to practise.

Difficulty and settings

You can play on Easy, Normal or Hard, choose a 60hz or 120hz framerate, and use a “Tate” rotated-view option. Steam Leaderboards let you compare your skill with players worldwide. The game also features an energetic soundtrack focused on Rock and Metal.
