Battle Bakraid is a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game by Eighting released in 1999. Players control one of nine fighter jets and shoot enemies, collect power-ups, and defeat bosses to advance through the game.
[edit] Gameplay
Battle Bakraid has four play modes:
- Training - Ideal for beginners; there are less enemies and bullets, and the player's ship will automatically use a bomb to escape death (should one be available.) However, the game ends after only four stages.
- Normal - A mode of medium difficulty, which can last up to six stages.
- Advance - All eight levels can be played, at the expense of larger and faster arrays of enemy firepower.
- Special (Only Boss) - A mode comprised of the game's twelve bosses fought consecutively. Difficulty is roughly identical to that of Advance mode.
Training, Normal, and Advance mode are available from the start; Special can be unlocked either by inputting a special code at the title screen or clearing the Advance game.
There is a medalling system, where the player picks up medals from downed enemies. These medals gradually increase in value, but if you miss one medal you will break the chain with the player having to start collecting the lowest value medals again. There is also a multiplier system. Whenever the player destroys a large enemy a score multiplier starts. Killing enemies once this has been initiated will get huge scores, however the multiplier will run out if there are no enemies destroyed within a short time. When your medal value and score multiplier starts to increase, so does the rank.
Similar to Armed Police BatRider, Battle Bakraid has a very large selection of secrets to choose from.
