Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Run Saber is a SNES Platform Game developed by Horisoft and published by Atlus in 1993. The game is best known for being an obvious Expy of Capcom's Strider (Arcade), having a bunch of shared elements (wall and ceiling climbing, sliding, a very similar Laser Blade), though not without adding its own spin to it.It's the year 2998, and the Earth is hopelessly polluted, to the point it threatens human life. All hope for a recovery falls on the technology created by one Dr. Gordon Bruford, which will clease the world by harnessing a new universal energy source known as Fusion. But, in order to do that, the Earth's atmosphere will be subjected to lethal doses of radiation, so humanity has to evacuate into space colonies and wait a full year to return. This, however, was exactly what our good Doctor wanted, as he stayed behind and mutated himself into a monstrous being. The new Dr. Bruford then proceeded to engineer an army of mutants and parasites to rule over the planet.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })World scientists watched in horror as this happened, and decided to put forward Project Run Saber: the creation of highly skilled cybernetically-enhanced warriors with element-based Laser Blades and immunity to the mutant parasites. Three Run Saber units are created: the Americannote Chinese in Japanese promotional material-developed Thunder Saber, Allen; the Russian-made Ice Saber, Sheena; and the German-produced Flair Saber, Kurtz. The three are sent to Earth to recover the planet; however, Kurtz suffers a malfunction and is possessed by a parasitic mutant, becoming one of Bruford's followers. Allen and Sheena must now face him and the other mutants and complete their mission.You can play as either Allen and Sheena, the game supporting both solo and 2-player co-op gameplay. Both characters have the same abilities: they can swing their Sabers to attack, do acrobatic jumps and climb up any wall or ceiling. Their repertoire of techniques include a sliding kick attack, a dive kick engulfed in energy (which allows the character to bounce from enemy to enemy) and a spinning aerial Sonic-like saw attack. Both characters also possess a full-screen attack that eliminates everything on sight; these are stocked by finding special pickups in the stages.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Alternate Company Equivalent: It's a very blatant copy of Capcom's Strider, with the same climbing mechanics allowing the player to cling onto anything, a very similar attack animation for Allen, the same items and 5-stage structure with a few similar settings even (a jungle filled with prehistoric animals? An oriental city and seat of power? check!).

 Run Saber (Video Game) / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an S: The in-game intro briefly shows the main characters' names as Alon and Senanote though the low-resolution font's 'N' is easy to mistake for a 'W', causing many to misread the names as "Alow" and "Sewa". The game's Japanese promotional flyer lists the Run Saber units' codenames a「アロン」(Allen / Alon / Aaron),「シェナ」(Shenanote with a short 'e' sound, not "Sheena"), and「カルツ」(Kurtz / Kartz). It's debatable whether Kurtz is intended to be Flare Saber or Flair Saber given his elemental affinity and fighting style. The US manual and packaging use Allen, Sheena, Kurtz, and Flair Saber, respectively.

Hitbox Dissonance: There's a small case of this concerning Allen's aerial forward attack. While, for the most part, the game does absolutely fine in differentiating between Allen's and Sheena's saber ranges, there's a noticeable extended amount of vertical reach on Allen's saber when attacking during a jump: not only does the usual range count, there's an area below the saber's animation that also hits, that you wouldn't know going just off of the visible sprite.

comment
Moveset Clone: Allen and Sheena are alike in every way in terms of abilities; able to cling to walls, dash, perform a Super Metroid-ish 'screw attack' jump, and more... except... Their actual main attack, the sabers. In its base form, it seems like they don't differ all that much save for how they swing them, but the saber upgrade puts emphasis on that small detail. Allen (who pulls back and swings forward) gets a longer horizontal reach, while Sheena (who swipes upward) gains more of a vertical swing on her attack. This gives Allen a better chance of hitting enemies safely out of attack range, and adds a very small curve above his head to protect from projectiles that somehow make it past the saber, but Sheena's swing actually becomes a wide crescent that can hit high and low in front of her, making not only for a better defense against forward projectiles but also giving her the chance to hit enemies without being adjacent to them. The different ranges can really make a difference to some players. Hitbox Dissonance: There's a small case of this concerning Allen's aerial forward attack. While, for the most part, the game does absolutely fine in differentiating between Allen's and Sheena's saber ranges, there's a noticeable extended amount of vertical reach on Allen's saber when attacking during a jump: not only does the usual range count, there's an area below the saber's animation that also hits, that you wouldn't know going just off of the visible sprite.

Shout-Out: A likely intentional nod to Strider Hiryu that got Lost in Translation: Allen's Smart Bomb attack ("Thunder Dragon" in English) was named "Fei Long Thunder" in Japanese previews. Fei Long just happens to be the Chinese reading equivalent of Hiryu's name ("flying dragon").

Fake Difficulty: Quite a bit of difficulty is due to the floaty jumping and the hero's reluctance to let go of walls.

Expy: Of Strider. If the gameplay mechanics, slide kick and wall-climbing aren't obvious enough, Allen's slash animation is pretty much a dead-ringer to Hiryu's, and he even has an item that extends its range in very much the same way.
