OH MY GOD. This soundtrack has to be one of, if not the most underrated OST on the MD/GEN. I grit my teeth at that opening theme every time. The way it starts out sounding like machine gun fire and then into the most incredible and chaotic pop-synths melody is just masterful. AND THAT BASS

@MaidenHell1977 Год назад

@philmason9653 Год назад

I absolutely adore this game, and would love a physical copy some day. But it's worth noting that Ratalaika released absolutely stellar digital versions of this and Gynoug/Wings of Wor for Switch last fall with an English translation, a mode that lets you control the movers directly with the second stick, multiple save state slots, rewind feature and an option-laden CRT filter mode that's one of the most impressive I've ever seen. So a straightforward physical release is going to have a tough time providing a better overall playing experience for non-purists. Lovely shelf piece either way though.

@danielrecommends Год назад

Yeah I was going to mention this too. The Switch version is fantastic and was my first intro to the game and I love it.

@LeeONardo Год назад

I always remember this game for being reviewed in Mean Machines. They did not rate it very well at all (essentially a 4/10 I think) and yet it goes on to be this HIGHLY sought after title. Funny as well just as you mentioned, I recall for a long time thinking it was a mega cd title due to it's presentation. I also couldn't find the game for years on the net as I searched "gReylancer" lol.

@Marcus_K Год назад

1992 was a very competitive year for shooters, with Thunder Force 4, Contra 3, Last Resort, Axelay, Space Megaforce and Cybernator. Gleylancer isn't even close to the quality of those games. 4/10 was too low though, it should've been a 6 or 7.

@SegaLordX Год назад

4/10 is a joke score. While it doesn't top the likes of Thunder Force IV or Gaiares, Gley Lancer sure as hell isn't a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. Mean Machines was notorious for low rating a number of classic shoot'em ups. I still recall their travesty of a score for Whip Rush and Arrow Flash. Neither top tier, but they made them sound like some of the worst games on the Mega Drive.

@stargazerlaurent6780 Год назад

THESE are the games I miss. Not made up by a committee with woke points. Or some lame narrative. A lot of these classic games were made up of small teams and were based on some Doujin artists idea and they told the music person to go nuts. It was a Wild West era that led to occasionally led to crap but mostly led to young, hungry artists who wanted to share their imagination with you. I’ve played shooters just for the music and artwork a lot of times. I miss those days. Support your local indie guys trying to bring this back

@Marcus_K Год назад

Not one of the A-list Genesis shooters in my view, but it's a solid B-tier shooter. The parallax-scrolling visuals are the best thing about it. The soundtrack is pleasant, but not amazing. Sound effects, weapons and gameplay lack the punch of the best shooters like Thunder Force. Gley Lancer's lack of originality is also a problem.

@@tom11zz884 "Compared to games like Soldier Blade, MUSHA, Final Soldier, Lords of Thunder? I'd say it was below average for sure." You have a very strange definition of "average". Just because it doesn't stack up to the top 5% of 16-bit shooters, doesn't make it "bellow average". It makes it "bellow truly great". Anyway, it's hard to compare horizontal and vertical shmups. IMO, they are different genres. As I said before, this game is not on the level of the 16-bit hori top hitters like Thunder Force 4, Eliminate Down, Gaiares or Gates of Thunder, but it's way above the average throw-away shmup of the era.
