The briefing

About this game

In Kishin Douji Zenki: Battle Raiden, Chiaki and her demon servant Zenki face another threat after previously saving the world from darkness. Guided by a vision of five cloaked figures, they set out to confront the demon leaders.

Players control Zenki through platforming stages and combat encounters. In his powered-down form, Zenki can punch, jump, and dash. When Chiaki enables his transformation, he gains greater strength and an expanding selection of attacks, including an energy pillar, an electrified punch, and a dashing strike.

Scrolls allow Zenki to unleash the screen-clearing Rudora attack, though using it also damages him. During platforming levels, hidden stone monuments can be destroyed to reveal items, change the stage, or remove obstacles. Each stage structure includes a midboss after the first platforming level and a main boss after the second.
