Riot Riders

Swing from a chopper while your bro pilots in a co-op physics-driven aerial bullet hell, using a wild “Swing-to-Aim” system to unleash BIG guns, dodge swarms of fire, and prevent another WORLD WAR.

About the Game

  • In RIOT RIDERS, you and your Bro are founding a private supranational paramilitary group, racing side‑by‑side to stop warmongers from turning the Cold War into a full‑scale global catastrophe. As a two‑man squad, one of you takes the pilot seat, wrestling with chaotic physics to keep your helicopter in the fight, while the other literally hangs on for dear life, swinging beneath the chopper to bend their firing arc into the thick of the action.

  • You are War Heroes mastering an innovative, absurdly dangerous combat system built around “Swing‑to‑Aim” — a physics‑driven aiming mechanic where every swing, drift, and dive of the helicopter reshapes your gunner’s line of fire.

  • You are Reckless Idiots with BIG guns, fighting through non‑precise yet intuitive, skill‑based co‑op aerial bullet hell stages that demand tight coordination between pilot and swinger to survive swarms of enemy fire and screen‑filling bosses.

  • You are Old Friends chasing high scores together, daring each other to pull off ever more ridiculous stunts —last‑second dodges, and perfectly timed barrages — to prove who’s the true leader of the group.

  • You are RIOT RIDERS, a duo of Determined Misfits whose synchronized piloting and swinging is the last thing standing between the world and another WORLD WAR.
