    Rübezahl, von vorne bis in die Haarspitzen, man spürt Turrican durch und durch, der Soundtrack ist populär.

    No GOAT material but an exceptionally well executed homage to the Turrican series from the 90s.
    Most details are inspired from those games, like the mechanics, looks and sounds. The composer of the soundtrack just should've oriented himself even more to the SID (C64) and Paula (Amiga) sound chips to amplify the nostalgia factor. Still, his soundtrack's nice and very electronic too.

    One of the improvements over the originals is that in this one here you can reboot the game from the last level you've seen.
    Overall a pleasant game and basically a must play for fans of Turrican.    … Expand

    Gamers may not remember Turrican. Thankfully, Gunlord X is here to fill that gap inside everyone's soul, which only fast-paced 2D action can fill. Not since Sonic Mania has a throw-back retro style game been pulled off with this much panache and style. While it may not be lengthy, it is hard to let go of the controller because playing as Gunlord just feels so good and the wake of destruction he can leave feels so satisfying.

    Gunlord X shows everyone else what the hardcore fans already knew: the NG:DEV.TEAM is fully capable of delivering an authentic, white-knuckle, retro-shooting experience. The action is constant but not overwhelming, and your arsenal feels varied, with none of the weapons ever feeling useless. The boss fights are fun, while the level design mixes in a good deal of exploration. Really, the only complaint is that there's nothing to bring you back once you finally beat the game, but considering how enjoyable the journey is, that isn't a big deal. Shooting fans are going to have a really good time with Gunlord X.

    Gunlord X, although at times seeming difficult, is still a fun run ‘n’ gun game. The variety of weapons and stages is a warm welcome, making it worth the asking price of $9.99.
