Raptor: Call of the Shadows Overview
Raptor: Call of the Shadows is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up. Its gameplay involves navigating through levels filled with diverse enemy types, which include ground, air, and sea targets. The visual presentation is built on smooth VGA scrolling graphics.
Progression is structured around completing levels, after which players can spend credits to enhance their ship's capabilities. The available upgrades include a range of weapons, some specialized for specific target types and others effective against all. Among these is an auto-track mini-gun, noted for its broad effectiveness. The game's approach to difficulty is made more fair by allowing saved progress between stages and the optional purchase of extra shields for defense.
A later release from 2010 offers enhanced graphics and adds support for several higher screen resolutions, while still providing the standard graphical mode as an option. The game also features an original soundtrack.
