Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is a running, jumping and fighting game like 90s classics Shinobi and Hagane: The Final Conflict. You play the Moonrider guardian that was created to defend a totalitarian state, racing through levels, attacking enemies and avoiding getting hit in a mission to find and defeat your creators.

Although the warrior you play was created to keep a dictatorship government in power, they reject this purpose and set out for vengeance against their creators. This sets up a classic run-and-gun challenge as you work through a series of side-scrolling levels.

Play is hard-hitting, snappy and responsive in the way of the classic games it draws inspiration from. As you progress you collect modifier chips that enable you to customize the Moonrider’s fighting style with killer advantages and abilities.

The result is not only an action-packed way to revisit classic games of yesteryear but a demanding experience in its own right.
