Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive is a vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up developed and released by Seibu Kaihatsu (along with Fabtek in the North America release) for arcades (using their Seibu SPI hardware) in 1997.
The sequel to Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2 revamps the aircraft roster while introducing the Hybrid Attack (where both players can combine their charged attacks into an invincible super-powered energy beam).
Similar to the rest of the series, it was included in two compilations: the 2019 Raiden Fighters Aces and the 2012 Raiden Legacy.
The game includes 15 playable aircraft, each with their own performance and weaponry. Eight of them are available by default:
The remaining eight aircraft are hidden, normally requiring a cheat code to access. Seven of them are made available without cheat codes through specific arcade configurations.
In addition, through a special cheat code, players can play as a hidden "Slave" variant of their currently selected aircraft. While they share the same appearance as the ship's companions (and thus have a smaller hitbox) and share the ship's maneuvering speed, all variants have the same weaponry (based on the companion ship's high-powered shots, with no sub-weapons or charged attacks).
