The game emphasizes the acrobatic skills of the protagonists, allowing them to perform balletic moves in mid-air while jumping and effortlessly climb walls and grapple across ceilings, similar to <a href="/strider-hiryu/3005-53/" data-ref-id="3005-53">Strider Hiryu</a> in the Arcade and Genesis versions of Capcom's <a href="/strider/3030-26410/" data-ref-id="3030-26410">Strider</a>.</p><p>Run Saber was published on the Super Nintendo in the US and Europe only, receiving no Japanese release. </p><h2>Critical Reception</h2><p>Electronic Gaming Monthly's Mike Weigand gave the review score of 8 out of 10. He wrote, "...This is nothing more than Strider for Super NES except with the added option of two-player simultaneous play and the option to play as a woman warrior... The game could have been longer, but it's still a great trip! The warrior color change is a big plus".</p>
