User guide
"Your engine's turbines roar as you scream out of the sky. Startled troops look up just in time to see your wing cannons blaze. You feel the plane buck slightly as your missiles streak towards their targets. A flash in the distance tells you that they have done their job and so have you.
The Mega-Corps pay well, for those good enough to survive. They call you into the shadows with dreams of wealth, and you answer, the only way you know how."
Raptor: Call of the Shadows is a 2D vertical scrolling shoot 'em up single player game, set in a futuristic world, where you assume the role of a mercenary flying the high-tech Raptor. Your main task will be undertaking interplanetary missions to take down MegaCorp's top competitors.
