Run Saber, released in 1993 for the SNES, is a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Horisoft. Often compared to Strider, the game puts you in control of one of two cybernetic warriorsโAllen or Sheenaโtasked with slashing through mutant hordes to save Earth. It stands out with its fluid movement, wall-climbing mechanics, and intense boss battles.
How to Play
Your objective is to reach the end of each stage by defeating enemies and taking down the boss. You can slash with your energy sword, double jump, and cling to walls or ceilings to navigate the terrain.
- Move / Climb: Arrow Keys
- Jump: Z
- Slash / Attack: A
- Hyper Bomb: S
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Your character can cling to almost any surface. Use walls and ceilings to dodge enemy fire and drop down on foes from above.
- Save your Hyper Bombs for tough boss fights, as they deal massive damage and grant brief invincibility.
- You can attack upwards or downwards while jumping, which is crucial for dealing with aerial enemies or attacking safely.
