Developed by Capcom, Strider arrived on the PlayStation as an action game. This PS1 release is a port or adaptation of a game that first appeared in 1989. It blends action and platformer elements.
It is part of the Strider series. The series also appears on other systems with Strider (Genesis) and Strider (NES). Capcom also made Street Fighter Alpha, Mega Man 6 and Dino Crisis 2 for the PS1.
Strider supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.
Pick it if…
- you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you have a friend to play against
- you've played the PS1 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you prefer slow, thoughtful games over reflex tests
What playing Strider is like
Action games test reflexes and nerve. Expect fast enemies, tight controls and stages you clear by reacting quickly and learning enemy patterns.
Tip for newcomers: Retro action games are often short but tough. Treat early deaths as practice runs; every attempt teaches you where the next threat comes from.
