Play Mirai Senshi - Lios (Japan) Online

You play as a futuristic warrior slashing robots with a sword that feels perfectly weighted, grabbing power-ups that totally change how you fight—like tossing a boomerang blade just to watch it return. Later levels throw brutal platforming at you, but nailing a mid-air charged shot never gets old.

Game Overview

Mirai Senshi - Lios is one of those NES games that makes you wonder why it never made it outside Japan. You play as this armored future warrior slicing through robots and jumping over bottomless pits—standard stuff at first glance, but the way your sword swings just feels right, like the developers fine-tuned the arc of every slash.

What hooked me was the upgrade system. You start with a basic blade, but halfway through the first stage, you’ll stumble on these floating power-ups that change your weapon entirely. First time I got the boomerang sword, I just stood there throwing it at walls like an idiot, amazed it actually came back. The levels get brutal later, but nailing a perfect jump over a spinning sawblade while sniping an enemy with your charged shot? Pure NES satisfaction.

It’s got that Mega Man vibe but darker—more industrial, with these eerie synth tracks that sound like a robot funeral. Definitely worth tracking down if you’ve got a soft spot for forgotten 8-bit action.
