In Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider you might just be the bad guy. You have Metroid-inspired traversal abilities, a Mega Man X sword, and a platter of six levels and bosses to pursue in any order you choose. But are you doing the right thing? The important thing is it feels good to play and is incredibly reminiscent of the 16-bit era of video games in the best way.
Join We LeBlanc and I as we play through the game’s first level and admire its playability and H.R. Giger-esque visuals. Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider releases January 12 on Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC (which is the version we are playing below).
