Welcome to Hagane, one of my favorite games on the SNES, released in 1994! It's a true hidden gem in the SNES library, but also quite rare and infamous for its difficulty. You play as the mystical steampunk cyborg ninja(!) Hagane, trying to stop a rival ninja clan from triggering Armageddon.

The gameplay can be described as a mix between Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man and Street Fighter. Hagane is armed to the teeth with all kinds of weapons from melee to explosives, but can also unleash devastating martial arts moves and perform spectacular acrobatics, as you'd except from a mystical steampunk cyborg ninja.

The learning curve is pretty steep and the controls are rather unintuitive, which is probably the reason why it's considered so difficult. It's certainly not easy, but once you unlock only half the potential of Hagane's arsenal, you will breeze through the levels, oneshot bosses and feel like a true mystical steampunk cyborg ninja! Ammo drops are also plentiful, so you can always experiment and find your own solutions.

The movement is so overpowered that you can skip large portions of the game, making it an interesting game for speedrunners as well. However, I wanted to showcase the entire game in a more casual way, killing most of the enemies, showing all the secrets and utilizing the whole arsenal.

I do cheese some bosses tho, so the run isn't entirely lactose-free. There's also lots of flashing lights. Be warned!

No cheats, savestates, etc.
