The Revenge of Future Ninjas! MitsuriZX
This is what happens when you mix Ninjas and modern games,you get...Strider 2! I should probably say,this game is an improvement over the first one in every possible way.
The story is about a Ninja called Strider Hiryu,who has to protect humanity by killing evil robots,somersaulting above skyscrapers,and collecting information about a super evil secret organization that wants to see the world enslaved. The gameplay mechanics are a little complex,but i'll try my best to explain them.
You have a jump button,a slash button,and a special button. By using the special button,you can power up yourself,and then your slashes will become homing slashes! You can grab walls and ceilings by simply jumping at them. You can still attack while you're grabbing the walls and the ceiling,so that's a nice extra touch to the game. By pressing a directional twice,you will dash.If you hold down,then jump,you will slide. I knew there was going to be somenthing related to Megaman in here...oh well,Capcom is just like that.
Well,nevermind,let-me continue the explanation. You have a selection of three missions that must be completed in order to access the end of the game. You will face a big variety of bosses,and then you will face a really hard boss at the end of the mission. You can acquire other kinds of power-ups during gameplay,which will hopefully make the game much easier. There are life upgrades,power upgrades,and the like. However,if you die,you lose those upgrades,so be careful! The rest,as they say,is history.
All you have to do is slash through enemies,while hearing a bit of overkill sound effects. The soundtrack in this game is a little repetitive,but it's nothing your ear can't handle. Oh,Wait! This game has no soundtrack...how come? Now,the graphics...they are really innovative. It feels like a 3D game,but it quite isn't. This kind of graphic reminds-me of "Prinny : Can i be the Hero?",which is a game that has graphics similar to those in Strider 2.
But meh,those games were made by totally different people. So it's just a coincidence. The only way to truly know how ti feels to be a future ninja is by playing the game. So get to it. And remember,since this is the arcade version of the game,you have infinite coins! So good! I probably wouldn't play this game if it wasn't for this lone,valuable feature...
