Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider

Moonrider is a cybernetic super-soldier created to defend an authoritarian regime. After rejecting its purpose, it turns against its creators and fellow guardians. Across side-scrolling stages, players slash enemies, dash, jump, and navigate hazards. The action also includes special attacks and platforming challenges. After the opening stage, the other stages can be tackled in different orders. Defeating bosses unlocks their special abilities, while hidden modifier chips provide upgrades; two chips can be equipped at once.

A rogue cybernetic guardian battles its creators in a side-scrolling action platformer built around swordplay, jumps, and boss powers.
