Strider is a side-scrolling action-adventure developed and published by Capcom for the NES — a Metroidvania distinct from the arcade game. Players control the ninja-like Strider Hiryu, slashing enemies with his Cypher sword and using acrobatic wall-clinging moves to explore seven global locations, collecting keys and data disks to unravel a conspiracy behind the ZAIN Project.
