Description

Raptor Call of the Shadows 3DS (Raptor3DS) is a reversed-engineered source port of the DOS game Raptor: Call Of The Shadows (also known as Mercenary 2029). The game sees a mercenary flying the advanced Raptor, sent on interplanetary missions to destroy top competitors of MegaCorps. Enemies are destroyed purely for money. Most enemies move in pre-determined paths. Some enemies will try to crash into the player. Turrets also aim to hit the player. There are no obstacles to avoid (except the enemy ships themselves).

While flying enemies are the most numerous, many ground targets (buildings, ships, vehicles, turrets) can be destroyed as well. Bosses appear at the end of each wave or even halfway through the later, more difficult waves. In the Outer Regions, most but not all of the bosses at the end of a wave are ground bases where the player has to take out their various component weapons. For each target destroyed the player earns credits. The amount of credits earned per enemy destroyed is usually proportional to how tough or dangerous it is, with some of them dropping additional credit bonuses.
