I was gonna say. Other than the final boss which wasn’t even hard so much as the gravity controls made it awkward nothing really stood out as crazy.
Fucking christ I hate the term Metroidvania. It doesn’t even really apply here, this game has 0 RPG mechanics.
If you think those reviewers are bad, just wait until you see IGN’s review. Dude was complaining about the lack of regenerating health. Yes, he wanted health regen in a freaking platformer.
facepalm
I actually kinda agree with a lot the reviewer had to say. Although ya deff to harsh. I think the game coulda used a seekrit level or something. The game doesnt keep the cool factor like in say strider 2. You get to fight hien on the dragon that sorta thing. The boss fights just get more boring. And the environments are cool but I woulda liked if it had a optional old strider jungle hide out like strider 2 as well. Or even the castle. Even if its option for some sorta random power up. Just something to break it up a bit. Kinda sucks cuz game is obviously a retelling sorta just like strider 2 was. But its missing some of those old stages which I think would have been cool.
Also fuck the game for not having no new game plus, and only one save. That is really retarded. Because once you get all the items your already at the end of the game, so you dont get to enjoy it really. To bad.
This game is frustrating as hell i can’t find a damn health upgrade I only found 1 and I already fought Pei Pooh. I suck at finding shit.
Gotta level up your +exploration skills. Sometimes I make mental notes of places to backtrack to after getting new skills after playing so many Metroidvania’s over the years.
Yeah, that’s my only gripe, could have used more locales like the Hidden Waterfall, Castle and Amazon stages.
Also a bit disappointed that when you get the Fallen Strider stuff, they just costumes, despite having descriptions of the Striders and some badass sounding variants of the Cyphers for them, Would have been cool to see them as bosses, like PS2 Shinobi where you were fighting corrupted versions of your ninja clan
It’s definitely more Strider 2 than Strider 1, and while I enjoy playing it as really long Strider 2, it’s missing some of those signature moments that made Strider 1 so unique for it’s time(Amazon w/dinosaurs, Snowy downhill run,which this has but he moves same speed, The Graviton hurling you around) Even miss those little robot guys with the Davy Crockett hats.
Yea… I really hope there is some sorta DLC(that I dont have to pay for lol)that adds some of those fun stories… cuz off hand I just dont see them making another strider game for awhile. Since it seems pretty obvious every game is just going to be a sorta remake. So will have to wait another 5-10 years before another one which will be another just re imaging sorta vibe. So id rather they go all out just for one game.
There won’t be DLC for this game. Amazon bought out Double Helix, and because of that, it’s the reason we got all the content we did without having to pay for DLC(costumes, customization, etc.)
I just got bullet deflecting+orbs. Game’s so damn easy, there’s only one boss so far to bop me, though once I learned his patterns/how to evade his attacks he was free.

Had the game crash on me once so far(PC.)
I just find it sad. Double Helix was FINALLY hitting their stride after a mediocre lifespan…and then they get bought out.
1 Good game with Capcom development assist isn’t exactly what I’d call “hitting their stride.”
He’s talking about KI as well. The other good game they did.
Fuck. I’m missing a single health upgrade and it’s driving me insane.
DISAGREE, GOOD SIR
Anybody found a map of everything online? I still suck at travelling around, randomly moving from zone to zone looking for my way.
Finished it on hard last night, well worth the $15. I have a couple minor issues, but I still loved it. The survival challenges are lots of fun too.

Disagree all you want sir, the game is fine. However, this isn’t the time or the place to discuss such a thing. This is Strider’s time.
FInally found that goddamn health upgrade. Only last boss left.
Man, I knew there was no New Game Plus, but they could have at least let you keep the damn unlockable costumes…
This game is legit hard on hard. Dunno bout normal haven’t touched it yet but bosses are stompin my nuts in. I just finished the Balrog section and fuckin hell man the boss in there downed me a good 10 or so times. Boss before that 5 or 6. Game is legit. I’m missin so many collectables, but I can’t decide if i want to go find them or just head into Meio’s Tower and finish up. I’ll be playin through again and could be more thorough then…I dunno, i can’t decide.
