Gain Ground adapts Sega's tactical arcade shoot to Master System with historical units facing armies across eras. The top down view and innovative tactical mechanic appeal lastingly despite simplified animation. Excellent for 8 bit strategic shoot fans.

Is Gain Ground still worth playing in 2026?

An original crossover between strategy and action from Sega, Gain Ground asks you to lead a troop of characters with varied abilities safely through trap laden arenas, rescuing fallen units and exploiting their complementary strengths. The blend of tactical thinking and real time action, spread across historical eras, stays rarely clever and is best savoured in co-op. The learning curve is steep. For a retro tactical action fan or someone curious about a singular concept, the title keeps a striking depth and originality.
