Strider

Strider, known in Japanese as Strider Hiryû (ストライダー飛竜), is the fifth entry in the Strider series. As with previous Strider games, it is a 2D side-scrolling action platformer; however, this game introduces a semi-open world and exploration elements. The game was developed by Double Helix Games, while working closely with the Capcom team in Osaka, including the designer of Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts and the enemy artist from Strider 2 (Koji Oda and Sho Sakai, respectively).

The game was released through digital distribution in February 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and on PC via Steam. In 2018 it was added to the subscription service PlayStation Now, making it available for play in PlayStation 5 as well.

Strider is said to be a retelling of the "classic Strider story", the basic setting used in both Strider and Strider 2 centered in the battle between Hiryu and Grandmaster Meio, but intended for a modern audience. Although often called a reboot of the franchise, the developers at both Double Helix and Capcom didn't intend for it to be one nor for it to replace any of the previous games in the franchise, instead treating it as another entry in the series with no direct ties to its predecessors, just like Strider 2 and the James Bond film franchise.
