The shooting, moveset, and powerup system feel nice enough, but those garish graphics and that annoying, somewhat mazelike level design...it seems like so many European computer games are like this. Of course, this is a Genesis port, but this is markedly inferior to other Genesis run-and-guns such as Gunstar Heroes, Contra Hard Corps, and Alien Soldier. It's still not bad and the music at least rocks out, but I was just underwhelmed by this one after playing other, much better games in the same genre on the same platform.

Güzel bu oyun. Hem de baya güzel. Lineer olmayan ama oynaması oldukça rahat olan harita dizaynı, dengeli zorluğu, keyifli ve zorlayıcı platform ögeleri run n gun gibi kısır bir oyun türünü bile eğlenceli kılıyor.

One of the most underrated shooters on the Sega Genesis. Factor 5 did everything in their power to make sure it was pushing the hardware limits at all times. Fantastic music and graphics, fun gameplay, a must play for enthusiasts of the genre

I appreciate the music and tech behind how the rendering works a lot but damn this game is like really hard. it's like really really hard, especially that second area man. WOW

like all other factor 5 games it looks and sounds pretty good and is doing some really wacky, wildly impressive stuff under the hood, like straight up black magic. unfortunately, being a factor 5 game, it is still designed by europeans

The best Turrican and one of the best run and guns on the Sega Genesis.

Turrican vets tend to dislike this one due to its more streamlined approach to level design, but I found its pacing to be just right. Although it's more of a left-to-right affair compared to its predecessors, there is still enough phony walls and secrets to discover in each stage. That being said, the last few stages do increase in scope and feel more like something that would have come out of the original.

The music, of course, is peak Genesis and just screwing around with the Bionic Commando style grappling hook is a lot of fun. This is one of few Genesis games I went out of my way to complete on the hardest difficulty, and I enjoyed every minute of mastering it for RetroAchievements.

Es una gran mejora con respecto al de SNES. Tiene mejor level design, hay mas jefes y son mas dinámicos, balancea la dificultad, un mejor posicionamiento de objetos y enemigos (aunque el penúltimo nivel presenta el mismo problema que el de SNES), entre otras cosas.
En ves del ataque especial que congela a los enemigos, ahora utiliza una cuerda para impulsarse en las plataformas, el cual, considero que esta mecánica no esta bien pulida, ya que, a veces, su uso es algo limitado (salvo en el penúltimo nivel). Ojala que estuviera bien hecha como en el primer jefe, ya que, debió a sus ataques, la cuerda te ayudara a esquivar los proyectiles.
Pero en general, me pareció un buen juego.
