Item Description
Super Turrican 2 is one of those games that reminds you exactly how hard the Super Nintendo could push when developers really knew what they were doing. Released by Ocean in 1995 and developed by Factor 5, the studio that had already shown a deep understanding of the SNES hardware with the first Super Turrican, this sequel arrived as a showcase of technical muscle and kinetic run-and-gun action that left a mark on everyone who played it. The scrolling is buttery smooth, the sprite work is sharp and detailed, and Mode 7 effects drive some of its most striking sequences, including rides on a desert dune buggy, a space motorcycle and an underwater jet.
The Turrican series carved out a fierce reputation in Europe, where the original Turrican was a major hit on home computers in 1990, before making its way to American living rooms. The SNES entries gave composer Chris Hülsbeck a new sound chip to work with, and his Turrican music is some of the most celebrated of the 16-bit era. Super Turrican 2 continues that tradition with a soundtrack that ranges from pulse-pounding action themes to atmospheric passages, mixed for Dolby Pro Logic surround sound, which gives the game an almost cinematic quality.
You play as the lone survivor of a United Freedom Forces assault squad, shipwrecked on a devastated dune world in his Turrican assault suit and facing the returning villain known as The Machine. The stages are packed with enemies, environmental hazards and a satisfying spread of weapons, from a flamethrower to a laser, that rewards aggressive play. The major addition is a grappling beam for swinging between platforms and grabbing power-ups, and the action is more straightforward than the sprawling levels of the earlier Turrican games, closer in spirit to Konami's Contra. The controls are tight, the difficulty has a fair but unforgiving edge, and the sense of speed and power is thrilling. Screen-filling bosses and explosive set pieces still hold up as examples of the SNES doing what it did best.
A late-era release that didn't get the mainstream attention it deserved, it has earned serious respect among enthusiasts in the decades since, and IGN ranked it among its Top 100 SNES Games of All Time. It remains one of the clearest examples of the technical artistry Factor 5 brought to 16-bit hardware at its peak.
