By the year 2090 A.D., after generations of people died in countless world wars, a world-allied government was established, and the people of Earth live peacefully. Unfortunately, that calm was cut short by the threat of an alien invasion. The forces of Carnass launched an aggressive and deadly approach, with the Earth's annihilation being the primary goal. The creation of the Raiden fighter bomber is the one chance to eliminate the threat of ultimate destruction. As an expert pilot, you've been selected as the planet's last hope against the alien menace. Strapping yourself in behind the control of Raiden, you'll have your hands full as you go into battle as a one-man army against a horde of mechanical maniacs. This top-down action-fest will throw all kinds of enemies at you, and only your quick reflexes and split-second decision making skills will do, as you fight to save your home.

Like most shooters, in Raiden Trad you have a top down view over the country side as you move your plane across the screen and strafe shots at the enemy. The levels are pretty standard with a rural setting, a cityscape, a harbor installation, leading up to a final confrontation in outer space. You start off with a pretty standard selection of enemies: kamikaze jumpjets, tanks that drive in off screen or from behind obstacles, and big brown bombers. When you destroy a bomber, it releases a powerup that will float around the screen for you to collect. In later levels the variety of enemies increases, like the appearance of patrol boats on level 3 (the water level). At various spots through the level you'll come across some mini bosses. Usually a semi-large tank or two that spray shots at you and aren't too hard to beat. And of course there's a boss waiting for you at the end of each level.
