\"\"<\/a>There were many 2-D shooter games on the SEGA Genesis, but some of them didn\u2019t even leave Japan.\u00a0 One of those was Gleylancer, but now you can play it as a downloadable re-release on nearly every current console and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Gleylancer plays like any other horizontally side scrolling 2-D shooter.\u00a0 Hold down the fire button to blast anything that moves.\u00a0 Some craft will leave behind power-ups.\u00a0 You\u2019ll first get two side ships that you can choose their formation before you start the game.\u00a0 Some of these formations include ones that follow you, track nearby enemies, rotate around you, etc.\u00a0 After you get those two side ships, you can get other power-ups that change your shots, like a laser, flamethrower, bullets that bounce around, or a spread shot.\u00a0 Change your speed with the L and R trigger buttons.\u00a0 You\u2019ll tackle nearly a dozen stages.\u00a0 There is a story with pretty decent anime looking cutscenes from time to time, but you can skip those if you like.<\/p>\n

This modern re-release adds a few new features.\u00a0 Most notably a rewind button (God bless it).\u00a0 Thanks to that rewind feature, I was able to beat the game and get all the trophies!\u00a0 You can also play the game in Original mode if you don\u2019t want that rewind feature tempting you.\u00a0 Only problem I had is that if you press pause and then accidentally hit the R trigger button, the game resets itself.\u00a0 And that\u2019s really easy to do, let me tell you!\u00a0 Gleylancer is an all right shooter, a bit generic, but still good.\u00a0 You know what Genesis shooter I wish they\u2019d re-release?\u00a0 Gaiares.\u00a0 Man I loved that one.\u00a0 Catchy music, fast gameplay, and you could take on the skills of any enemy ship, kind of like Kirby!<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gleylancer is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You shoot spaceships that explode when defeated, but that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 I grew up with games like this and I turned out OK.\u00a0 Thanks to the rewind feature and selectable difficulty levels, players of any skill should be able to enjoy this re-release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
