Mystic Warriors Arcade Archives Intro & Playthrough as Yuri on PlayStation 4 Sunset Riders follow up
5Full gameplay longplay, playthrough walkthrough and guide to Mystic Warriors: Wrath of the Ninjas the little known follow up to Sunset Riders. Which after 30 years has finally received a home version in 2023 thanks to Hamster corporation. In many way Mystic Warriors is pretty much a direct sequel to Sunset Rider just swapping out the western setting and Cowboys for modern day Japan and Ninja. The gameplay remains the same run and gun format as before, this time round the heroes throw and endless supply of shurikens.
Supporting up to four players Mystic Warriors sees Spyros, Keima, Kojiro, Brad and Yuri, taking on the Skull Gang in a clever twist the plot has you trying to rescue one of your team. As after you select your player characters the game picks one at random or the unselected and has then captured by the Skull Gang. It's a very well made game, but just doesn't quite reach the heights of Sunset Riders. Which gets a nod to in the opening stage with a drive in cinema showing a film version of the western classic. The villains just aren't as good there is nothing really interesting about the skull gang and many of them look very generic and lack a ninja feel to them. The game is somewhat harder, but can still be mastered once you learn it.
It's still a very good game in it's own right, but was largely ignored by arcade owners on release. Our team only ever saw the cabinet once in the United Kingdom and never again. Which likely explains why it is rarely talked about. Now thanks to Hamster more people will finally get the chance to play it and if you enjoyed Sunset Riders then Mystic Warriors will be right up your street, give it ago.
