Strider — About this game
Hiryu is ordered to eliminate his captured comrade Kain, but the investigation leads toward the ZAIN project. This NES adventure uses Blue Dragon as a working base: transfer to a location, explore for keys and message disks, then return to analyze the information and open further destinations. New boots and learned abilities also make previously unreachable passages accessible.
Fighting with the Cipher is only part of the route. Some doors require a matching numbered key, and revisiting an earlier area can reveal the next step. Health and attack energy are separate resources; acquired tricks spend the latter. The PASSWORD option at the base provides a code for your progress, supporting an adventure built around clues and return trips.
