What does it have to do with Yar's revenge?

[@GameVaultHQ-5]

Yars Rising is actually a modern reimagining of the classic Yars' Revenge from Atari, but with a fresh twist. The original was a shoot-'em-up where you played as a Yar, a bug-like alien, taking down enemies. In Yars Rising, you play as a hacker, and the game shifts into a Metroidvania with exploration and hacking mechanics, but it still pays homage to the original. For example, the hacking mini-games are directly inspired by the classic gameplay of Yars' Revenge, with references to Atari’s iconic style and characters throughout. It's a blend of old-school nods and new-school gameplay!

Doesn't look good. Why do so many (seems like the majority) of new platformers have weak looking female main characters

[@irpanfauzi1160]

Because Females its Synonyms with Feminine and Male with Masculine, And Strong and Feminine Female Character Seem its Risky move especially because Media love Strong Female Character and Forgot Feminine Side
