Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R

About

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R is a beat 'em up and adventure game from 1993 that lets you play as one of five Sailor Soldiers. You and a co-op partner tackle four main levels split into two sub-levels each, battling waves of enemies and bosses inspired by the Dark Moon storyline. A special button triggers a screen-clearing attack that weakens bosses, but you can't use it often. Collectible food items and breakable objects restore health, and the game offers a simplified Chibiusa Mode for easier fights. Standout features include Chibiusa Mode's near-invincibility and the bonus 1v1 fighter in Battle Mode, which doubles as a training tool. The game sticks close to the anime's Dark Moon arc, translating its villains and stages into side-scrolling brawls. With tight co-op and a roster of iconic characters, it's a niche pick for those wanting a challenge or a trip down memory lane.

Storyline

Loosely based on the Dark Moon arc of the Anime. Players take control either of the five original Sailor Soldiers across four stages, each one set in a different location, and fight against an assortment of enemies and villains from the series in order to defeat Prince Demande and the rest of the Dark Moon Clan.
