Developer: Treasure
Release: Fall 2005
Gunstar Heroes™, one of the most critically acclaimed 2D games of all time, is finally
receiving a sequel, and it’s being developed by Treasure, the legendary team
responsible for the original.
Red and Blue, the stars of Gunstar Super Heroes, must once again keep a stone of
great power from falling into the hands of an evil empire intent on resurrecting the God
of Ruin. Both characters take on the same adventure using different paths, effectively
creating two unique play-through experiences. And depending on the chosen difficulty
level, the story changes, making for a total of 6 different story paths. Using four different
types of weaponry – Rapid Fire, Machine Gun, Laser, and Explosive – players will tackle
six wildly inventive levels and take on gigantic bosses that fill the entire Game Boy
Advance screen.
Intricate platforming, precision gunplay and brilliant visuals combine to create a
revelatory experience for newcomers and a major gaming milestone for hardcore fans.
This is Treasure doing what they do best, and they’ve clearly had a lot of fun during the
game’s development process. Playful references abound, such as the appearance of an
original Gunstar Heroes level beautifully retooled, After Burner music playing during an
aerial sequence, mini-bosses from classic SEGA Genesis games popping up midgame,
and a bevy of other fan-tailored treats.
Releasing just in time for the 10th Anniversary of Gunstar Heroes, this highly anticipated
sequel is sure to be talked about by gaming enthusiasts for years to come.
Features:
• A true sequel to the SEGA Genesis classic Gunstar Heroes, expanding the
Gunstar world with all-new levels, bosses, and weapons.
• Two different paths for gameplay, depending on the hero you choose to play as
at the outset of the game. Depending on difficulty you are playing in, the story
changes, so there are in total 6 types of gameplay you can enjoy.
• A reasonable difficulty curve that will satisfy fans and newcomers alike.
