This is a side-scrolling action game where you control Hiryu through a sequence of stages filled with enemies, hazards, and bosses. Movement is fast and acrobatic: Hiryu can jump, cling to walls and ceilings, and attack in midair to maintain momentum. Progress is stage-based, with each area leading into a boss fight. Success depends on timing, mobility, and learning enemy patterns rather than on heavy resource management.

Strider Hiryu

The protagonist, an elite ninja agent known for speed, agility, and close-range combat.

Grandmaster Meio

The main antagonist, a tyrannical ruler seeking world domination.

Learn wall-climbing and aerial movement first, since they are essential for dodging fire and crossing tricky terrain. Use short, controlled attack strings against regular enemies so you do not get trapped in narrow spaces. In boss fights, wait for safe openings instead of rushing damage; the game rewards pattern recognition and positioning more than button-mashing.
