Description

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is a side-scrolling action platformer that channels the golden age of classic 16-bit action games in a full-throttle quest for revenge.

Revenge of the Moonrider



In the oppressed world of Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, humanity finds an unlikely hero. After building an army of super soldiers as weapons of war, the authoritarians unwittingly seal their own fates by bringing online the ninja warrior known as Moonrider. Conceived as a tool to preserve the totalitarian state, the Moonrider instead rejects its intended purpose and wages a relentless battle for vengeance against its creators and fellow super soldiers.

Gear up and prepare to battle your creators


The design of Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider puts the best classic action-game elements in the laser-precise sights of its starring ninja, ensuring snappy, responsive combat that’s supremely challenging.

Powerful modifier chips are hidden and guarded throughout the adventure, allowing you to customize the Moonrider’s fighting style while gaining killer advantages and abilities.


Beautiful pixel graphics complemented by an incredible soundtrack


The gorgeously desolated world of Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider flawlessly channels the halcyon days of the 16-bit era through intricate pixel art, inspiring a striking gauntlet across eight deadly stages. From start to finish, you’ll enjoy seamless platforming action for a tight, focused experience that never lets its blade get dull.

Complementing these beautiful pixel graphics is an incredible soundtrack with a timeless, nostalgic vibe. The result is the quintessential retro experience.

Good Old School Cyberpunk Ninja Action

Kind of reminds me of Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden. Controls feels a little loose for some of the fights. A few of the sub bosses are VERY frustrating. Overall a great game, but I'm not sure its worth the full asking price. If you see it on sale, grab it.

Game looks fun but not optimized

This is the 2nd time I bought this game & the second time I'm getting a refund. First from Steam, now from GOG. From the videos I've seen online, the game looks fun to play and seems like a mash-up of MEGA MAN X and SHINOBI 3, which is how I like it. It is a shame then that the game refuses to properly install into my hardrive, and while the executible will run, it does so without any sound. Plus according to some sources, there is some weird DRM nonsense involved when you install the game - this is why I tried buying the GOG version, which promises to be DRM Free. I don't know if that promise was fulfilled, as every attempt to install the GOG version was listed as "FAILED" (despite the game being included) and they keep trying to add this GOG File into my hard drive. I may ask GOG for support, but don't bother calling the publisher - I emailed them and they never responded back. The developers are worse: they pretty much abandoned this game 2 yrs ago. I really wanted to play something reminicent of SHINOBI 3 and MOONRIDER seemed like the right game, but I can't keep trying to install a faulty game.
