Is Gunlord still worth playing in 2026?
An independent production from NG:DEV.TEAM, Gunlord is a Turrican styled run and gun, blending exploration of maze like levels, all directional shooting and a rolling ball transformation. The generous pixel art and sustained action recall the heyday of 16 bit. The whole stays a touch stiff and uneven, though, without the precision of the models it draws from. For Turrican nostalgics and collectors of late Dreamcast runs, it offers a sincere, hearty tribute, more appealing for its mood than for its balance.
