Super Turrican 2: Special Edition

About

Super Turrican 2: Special Edition is a side-scrolling shooter that throws you into fast-paced combat across colorful, chaotic levels. You’ll zap through platforms, dodge enemies, and unleash a arsenal of weapons from a standard gun to over-the-top plasma spreads. The controls snap to attention, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, demanding quick reflexes and precise jumps. Each stage mixes platforming challenges with bullet-hell sequences, keeping the action tight and unpredictable. This edition bundles a physical SNES cartridge with a printed manual for a retro fix. Factor 5’s work here feels like a love letter to 90s action games, and fans of pixel-perfect shooting often cite it as one of the system’s best. With no modern updates or extras, it’s pure nostalgia in a box. The game’s 4.5/5 Metacritic score from classic reviews still holds up, though new players might find the learning curve steep. Strictly Limited Games’ run sold out fast, making it a collector’s item for SNES enthusiasts.
