Kishin Douji Zenki: Battle Raiden

Game Details:

This game is adapted from the popular 90s Japanese anime "ZENKI," inheriting the original work's refreshing combat and unique character designs. Players control the protagonist "ZENKI," switching to a powerful demon god form through a transformation system to face increasingly stronger enemies. The game adopts a side-scrolling platformer format, with challenging level designs that integrate action and puzzle elements. Each level's boss battle is highly distinctive, requiring familiarity with attack rhythms and skill combinations to successfully clear. In addition, the game's visuals are impressive, and the music is explosive, perfectly recreating the combat atmosphere of the original anime.

Editor's Recommendation:

If you are a loyal fan of 90s anime or enjoy side-scrolling action games with transformation systems, then "ZENKI: Battle Raiden" is a must-play. Compared to similar action games, the biggest highlight of this game is ZENKI's "demon god transformation" mechanism - after transforming from the normal form into a powerful demon god form, not only does the attack range greatly increase, but the skills are also more gorgeous. In addition, the plot closely follows the original anime, providing a strong sense of immersion for fans. Although it is an old game, its compact level structure and smooth operation still make it a classic action platformer worth revisiting.

Game Guide:

One of the key gameplay elements of "ZENKI: Battle Raiden" is the transformation system and the rhythm control of BOSS battles. Here are some practical guide suggestions to help you clear the game more easily:

1. Familiarize yourself with basic form skills and transformation mechanism

In the game, ZENKI is in his basic human form most of the time. He can transform into Demon God ZENKI by accumulating specific energy or triggering the story. In the transformed state, the attack range is larger and the skills are stronger. It is recommended to save the transformation opportunity as much as possible before BOSS battles or dense enemy areas.

2. Pay attention to the enemy's attack rhythm

The enemy AI design is relatively simple, but the attack frequency is high. For BOSSES in particular, maintain a medium to long distance to observe their movements, and then look for opportunities to counterattack. Repeated probing is the key to clearing the game.

3. Make good use of items and skills

Some levels hide health replenishment or skill enhancement items, so it is recommended to observe the walls, ground, or corners. There are also some temporary invincible items that are extremely useful in difficult areas.

4. Mastering platform jumping rhythm

Game platform sections sometimes require precise control of jump timing and direction. It is recommended to master the take-off height and landing point judgment to avoid unnecessary falling damage.

5. Memorize BOSS weaknesses

Most BOSSES have specific attack blind spots, such as behind or below. Pay attention to observe their attack movements, and quickly output when their skills end or expose their weaknesses.

6. Save System

This game does not natively have save states, so it is recommended to use the instant save function that comes with the emulator, which can greatly reduce the pressure of replaying levels.

This game has a tight rhythm and is full of challenges, especially the later BOSS battles are extremely oppressive. Making reasonable use of transformations, items, and attack timing will allow you to experience the exhilaration of defeating enemies.
