Cyborg Hunter is a sci-fi action game on Master System in the Metroid line, with space base exploration and cyborg combat. The semi open structure and cyberpunk atmosphere appeal despite high difficulty and sometimes confusing sprites. Solid for 8 bit action exploration fans.

Cyborg Hunter (Master System) price, value & rarity
A Sega action platformer where you hunt criminal cyborgs in a dystopian future, blending exploration and progression in an interconnected world. Its desirability rests on a more ambitious design than average, close to a metroidvania before the term, and its place among the console's most accomplished action-adventures. Collectors seek this European edition for its original structure.
An underrated gem
Long before Metroid-style exploration became a standard, Sega tried the experiment on the Master System, mixing vertical infiltration, weapon unlocks and close combat. Stiff and showing its age, it can disconcert today with its rigidity. But its ambitious structure and dystopian mood will reward the curious willing to forgive its rough edges.
