The briefing

About this game

In Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns, Strider is called to save the people of planet Magenta. Equipped with a Gyro laser and matter converter, he battles through a forest, ruined city, underground colonies, rooftops, and the prison ship holding the Megantan leader.

Gameplay

The action centers on running, jumping, and attacking. Strider can fire the laser while standing still or use moving sword attacks, with the two weapons working together. Collecting enough tokens transforms him into a robot for encounters with end-of-level enemies.
