"Classic"
The piloted tank is seen from above and its turret pivots independently of the chassis, an animation detail that structures the entire reading of the screen. Around it, ruined cities, industrial zones and underground bases are drawn in metallic greys lifted by rare bright colours for the important targets.
The JP/USA Rev A of Granada is the corrected version of the Wolf Team/Renovation game, released in an extremely limited print run for both markets. Its collector value comes from this double geographic rarity and from the cult status of the Wolf Team tank-action game among Telenet/Renovation fans.
Is Granada still worth playing in 2026?
A multidirectional shoot by Wolf Team, Granada offers top down action where you command a future tank in tactical missions. The dark art direction, precise handling and progressive difficulty make this title an overlooked genre reference on Mega Drive. The fire system independent from movement direction brings real depth. For anyone fond of demanding multidirectional shoots or wishing to discover a quality Wolf Team title, a warm recommendation still valid today on the machine here truly indeed for any returning fan now even.
