About This Retro Game
Baraduke introduced a novel perspective system where players see both a side view and overhead map simultaneously, requiring strategic movement through complex alien bases.
The game was one of the first to feature a female protagonist in an action game, predating even Metroid's Samus Aran.
Despite its innovations, Baraduke remains one of Namco's more obscure titles, though it did receive a Japan-only sequel called 'Bakutotsu Kijuutei'.
