Play Strider Hiryuu Online
You flip through neon-lit streets slashing mechs with a crackling plasma sword, bouncing off walls like gravity’s just a suggestion. That first snow level with the Soviet towers? Pure Genesis magic.
Game Overview
Strider Hiryuu on the Genesis is one of those games that makes you feel like an absolute ninja badass from the first second. You're this acrobatic assassin flipping through a cyberpunk future, slicing robots in half with a plasma sword that makes the coolest sound effect when it connects. The speed is insane—you'll be wall-jumping, sliding under lasers, and taking down mechs twice your size before the first level even really gets going.
What I love is how fluid everything feels. Hiryuu moves like he's on springs, and the levels are designed to let you just flow through them if you're quick enough. That first stage in the snow with the towering Soviet architecture? Pure 16-bit atmosphere. The music's all synthy and urgent, pushing you forward even when you're getting wrecked by some of the tougher enemies (because yeah, this game doesn't hold your hand).
It's the kind of game where you'll die a bunch at first, but each run feels faster and smoother until you're practically dancing through the levels. That moment when you finally beat the giant gorilla mech boss without taking a hit? Chef's kiss.
