I didn't remember that the old Strider games were so Hard Core like this huh!? Capcom Quest of Strider Returns: Journey from Darkness, or just Strider II form U.S Gold... I explain better this meme in the post.
This time the game was not by Capcom, but Tiertex. Just take a look in how many platforms it was released, of course each one has its graphic style, but on the research that I did, the best port was the Genesis version.
Capcom left the development from this episode in other hands, including having accepted as a sequel, in the next few years, they changed that idea, and makes its own sequel. But it doesn't mean that this Old School game isn't great!
Another very challenging one, in that style we already know, hard enemies, the jumps have to be precise, you need to attack and avoid fast, few HP, few continues and still have Time Out!
About the time out, it's more worrisome on the labyrinth stages, for obvious reasons. You even get more time if you defeat some sub bosses, but until you reach them and figure out the right way, you will die a few times.
There are many parts with lasers in everywhere, and you have to calculate the exact timing to not take damage. Unfortunately I don't have much patience on this and I took a lot damage, which made me stay some time on the final boss battles, who appears twice in the same way.
I almost beat the game on stream and the power went out! Thankfully, the game has codes to move forward trough the stages, which is very interesting. You have to make 2.000 points and write "ENIREHTAK" on the ranking. This will allows you to use Cheat Mode. And after saving the lady, is game over!
Back to Bed xD
