Play Strider (usa, Europe) Online

Capcom released Strider for the Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Drive in Europe, in 1990. It arrived during a time when the console was establishing its library with fast paced action games. This version was a home adaptation of the arcade original, bringing its distinct style to a new audience.

You control Hiryu, a high tech ninja armed with a plasma sword called the Cypher. Your mission is to traverse a futuristic world, moving screen by screen to defeat the Grandmaster and his army. Your primary tool is a fluid sliding attack that lets you cut down multiple enemies in one swift motion. You also use a robotic panther companion to reach higher platforms and a variety of grappling hooks to scale walls and navigate environmental hazards. The game moves quickly, demanding quick reflexes to handle its constant enemy assaults and tricky jumps. Successfully chaining together slides, jumps, and special moves creates a satisfying rhythm of movement and destruction.
