Riot

About

Riot is a 1992 arcade shooter where you alternate between targeting enemies in the background and foreground using separate buttons. Each of the six stages layers chaotic action across multiple planes, requiring quick reflexes to take down waves of foes and wild bosses. The split-second timing and dual-focus gameplay make it a technical challenge, with co-op play letting two players share the chaos. The game’s co-operative mode and fast-paced design stood out for its time, offering a niche but intense experience. While its 90s-era visuals and difficulty curve might feel old school, fans of precision shooting games still praise its tight controls and creative level design.
