Kishin Dōji ZENKI: Battle Raiden Overview
Kishin Dōji ZENKI: Battle Raiden is a platforming action game where the player controls the demon Zenki. His companion, Chiaki, can transform him from a basic form with limited moves into a more powerful state with expanded combat abilities.
Progression involves navigating platforming stages, which are interspersed with boss encounters. The journey is structured with a midboss after an initial platform segment, followed by a second platforming section leading to a main boss. The game's pacing could be considered fair, as stages incorporate environmental puzzles where destroying specific monuments can reveal items and change the layout to allow forward movement.
Combat evolves as Zenki gains new techniques like energy pillars and electrified strikes. A high risk option is the screen clearing Rudora attack, activated by collected scrolls, which also inflicts damage on Zenki himself. The narrative context involves Chiaki and Zenki embarking on a new quest to confront five cloaked figures foreseen in a vision.
