Strider is a 2014 revival of Capcom's 1989 ninja action game of the same name, with Double Helix taking on development duties in a partnership with Capcom. Taking its gameplay cues more from the open-structure of the NES version than the more linear arcade version, the new Strider is an exciting, fast-paced game with a fun world to explore, plenty of cartoonish robots to fight, and wonderful feeling movement that just gets better and better as more abilities are unlocked. While it hits a few snags, Strider's a good example of a long dormant franchise revived and done justice.
