ESP Ra.De. adds to the dense-shooting formula characteristic of Cave a science-fiction narrative about psychic powers and a biomechanical invasion over Tokyo in the year 2018, with a cast of pilots providing variety of weapons and play styles. It's one of the most beloved boards in the studio's early catalog.
It's especially remembered for its soundtrack and for a pattern design that, without reaching the extremes of later Cave titles, already showed the technical rigor that would make the studio synonymous with quality within Japanese shooters.
