Latest Games Reviewed: Ikari Warriors

Author: Maddie - Published: 13 June 2025, 2:08 pm

Ikari Warriors is a vertical-scrolling shooter coin-op created by SNK and published in 1986. It was ported to many home platforms, including Commodore 64, Apple II, NES, and Amstrad CPC. The Amiga version was released in 1988, and it was published by Elite.

Created by the team behind SNK's military-themed arcade games, Ikari Warriors puts players in control of commandos Ralf and Clark as they infiltrate enemy territory armed with machine guns and grenades. The arcade original featured innovative rotary joysticks that allowed players to move in one direction while firing in another, creating dynamic combat scenarios as soldiers could strafe and retreat while maintaining offensive pressure. This control scheme became a defining characteristic that separated Ikari Warriors from other top-down shooters of the era.
