Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider release date set for January, new trailer

Publisher The Arcade Crew and developer JoyMasher today set a final release date for Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider. The game will be appearing on Switch starting January 12, 2023.

Alongside the release date news, a gameplay trailer has come in for Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider. The video highlights the lethal talents of a cyborg ninja named Moonrider, a state-of-the-art warrior has turned on its creators while defying its original purpose in a relentless quest of revenge.

Here’s the new video:

Danilo Dias, co-founder of JoyMasher and art director on Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider said: “From using traditional audio recording techniques from the 90’s to limited color palettes that’d feel right at home on a SEGA Genesis, we wanted every aspect of Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider to faithfully pay homage to the formative era of games which ultimately inspired us to create our own. The classic simplicity of action platformers continues to influence game design to this day, and Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is a tribute to where some of the best retro experiences originate from as well and our interpretation of how they can still evolve going forward.”

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider will be sold as a digital download on the Switch eShop.
