Strider Releases Today
February 18, in the year
of our Lord 2014 -- The original assassin returns as
Strider officially releases across North America today as a
$14.99 digital download title on PSN (PlayStation 4, PlayStation
3), with versions on Xbox Live (Xbox One, Xbox 360) and PC
(Steam) available on February 19.
Strider features the same franchise hallmarks of fluid,
lightning quick side scrolling combat and free-flowing traversal
through the expansive interconnected metropolis of Kazakh City.
Perform breakneck acrobatic jumps and mid-air flips while
slicing through Strider’s varied enemy types with Hiryu’s
indestructible ‘Cypher’, a plasma charged weapon that can take
on a number of properties. Alternatively, use the climb sickle
to gain the high ground, and hit enemies with a surprise Kunai
attack or call on support companions for some extra muscle when
the going gets tough. Strider is developed by Double Helix
Games, in conjunction with Capcom.
Once players have mastered the art of performing breakneck
acrobatic jumps, mid-air flips and sliced their way through
hundreds of enemies there’s plenty more fun for the ultimate
ninja hero to have. Players can put their skills to the test in
Beacon Run – a “speed run” race style mode that gives players a
white-knuckled experience challenging them to hit consecutive
checkpoints while slicing through enemies in the shortest amount
of time. Survival Mode tests players’ combat skills with a
variety of different item and ability load outs, as waves of
progressively difficult and diverse enemies converge on Strider
Hiryu.
