News::Retro Refined- Strider Review I HeyPoorPlayer

HeyPoorPlayer's Francis DiPersio writes- Capcoms agile azure assassin is back courtesy of developer Double Helix. For the first time in 15 years Strider Hiryu, the scarlet scarf sporting ninja has found his way to the console front to once again wage war against the evil, mechanized forces the nefarious Grand Master Meio. However, this supercharged reboot eschews the arcade classic series by the numbers stage progression in favor of a Metroidvania-styled adventure full of hidden passages to explore, upgrades to nab, and robots to turn into piles of twisted metal. All of this sounds good in theory, but does this reinvigorated reboot of the beloved Capcom franchise have what it takes to bring the cypher-swinging hero back from the the dusty annals of arcade history?
