Trailer: January’s Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider looks like it just launched for the Genesis

A game that looks like it could easily have been a Genesis classic, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider brings side-scrolling action this January.

Slice and dice

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider recalls the best classic action game elements in the laser-precise sights of its starring ninja, keeping combat snappy, responsive and challenging. Powerful modifier chips are guarded and hidden throughout the adventure, allowing the cyborg super soldier to customize its fighting style while gaining killer advantages and abilities. The game’s gorgeously desolated world expertly recreates the 16-bit era through intricate pixel art and crunchy audio, building a striking, compact gauntlet across eight deadly stages. Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider revels in top-notch, refined platforming action for a tight, focused experience that never lets its blade get dull.

The Arcade Crew press release

Waging war against a brutal totalitarian regime, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is set to release for PlayStation consoles, the Switch, and PC this January 12th, 2023.
