Journey from Darkness - Strider Returns — About this game
Journey from Darkness - Strider Returns pairs sword attacks with a search for the right path through hostile scenery. Progress usually leads right, but a blocked route can demand a climb, a drop or a return to an earlier platform. Keep the timer in view while checking these alternatives. Use a controlled jump to choose your landing instead of rushing into a gap, and clear enemies that threaten the next foothold. Collected shurikens extend your attack options. Begin on Easy to learn the route and the movement rhythm, then use that knowledge to make later attempts more direct.
