Retro re-releases falling outside the familiar safety of the M2, Hamster, or Code Mystics stables are usually one thing and one thing alone — a plain ROM bundled with some inoffensive but unspectacular emulation options. It’ll work, it’ll be official, and... that’s about it. If those bland goals had been all this new port of Gleylancer had aimed for, it still would have been more than welcome as in its retro-tastic physical form the game is expensive even by import-only Mega Drive shmup standards. In many ways, even just a cheap and convenient alternative would have been a definite improvement.

The SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive is home to a lot of good shoot-'em-ups, and GleyLancer belongs on that list.

The good:

  • Solid 16-bit graphics, music, and gameplay
  • Lots of modern quality-of-life features, such as save states
  • Priced right

'

I can't think of any real complaints, though I do understand why this probably would have been a better fit for the SEGA Genesis Online collection rather than a stand-alone title.

Recommended for shmup fans of all skill levels.
