About this game

Take to the skies in River Raiders, a modern tribute to one of the most iconic top-down shooters of the classic console era. Navigate the River of No Return, strike enemy forces, manage your fuel, and push your skills to survive farther than ever.

Your mission is simple: fly fast, shoot straight, and stay alive. Enemy tankers, helicopters, jets, fuel depots, and fortified bridges crowd every stretch of the river. Precision flying and sharp reaction time are the difference between a clean run and a fiery crash.

Every section of the river is a new challenge. Tight channels, shifting terrain, scarce fuel, and increasingly aggressive enemies make each run unpredictable. As you improve, the river tests you harder. Only the best pilots make it deep into enemy territory.

Gameplay Overview

Master the fundamentals of arcade flight. Bank left and right through twisting river paths. Time your shots to take down enemy aircraft and destroy bridges for high-value points. Fuel drains constantly; when your gauge runs low, finding a depot becomes a race against time.

As you advance deeper, depots become rare and enemy formations tighten. Smart flying—dodging as much as destroying—becomes essential. Study the river, learn its patterns, and refine your route for maximum survival.
