The Kraken, named Long Leg (ロング・レッグ Rongu Reggu) in the Japanese version,[note 1] is a colossal boss robot in Razing Storm.
Overview[]
The Kraken has four robotic tentacles each equipped with an anti tank cannon, and a long robotic body equipped with numerous weapons, including missile launchers (they are only used in the Aracde Mode to shoot down the Alpha team helicopter and for massed firing with most of the fired missiles not hitting the player), laser turrets, laser irradiator "segments" (most of them fire pulse lasers while the top most segment fires a sweeping laser), and an even more powerful main laser cannon. In the Arcade Mode, the main laser cannon appears after the Kraken has taken sufficient damage and does so by extending the cannon barrel. In the Story Mode, the main laser cannon is used to ambush the player, is retracted when the Kraken's weak point is hit and is extended after the Kraken gets up. While a powerful weapon, the main laser cannon requires time to charge for an attack.
Weakpoint[]
The Kraken's weakpoint is the joint on one of its leg, which can be shot by a rocket or missile to immobolize for a while. However, the main laser cannon must be destroyed to effectively destroy it.
In-Game Appearance[]
The Kraken appears in Stages 1 and 2 of Razing Storm Arcade Mode, one each in Stages 1 and 2 of the story mode. One of its kind is first seen in the Arcade Mode intro cutscene, with this same one shooting down the Alpha team helicopter. Then it appeared in the hallways using its robotic tentacles releasing two Raptors. In the Story Mode, one appears in Mona Darta/Stage 1 but cannot be damaged by the player. Another appears in Almada Penitentiary/Stage 2 which guns down Mark when he got exposed by a searchlight and cannot be damaged by the player. Subsequently, the same one ambushes the player just before the S.C.A.R. operatives reach the tower, forcing them to destroy it.
