Target Earth is the NTSC edition of Telenet/Renovation's game, US version of Japanese Juusou Kihei Leynos.

Is Target Earth still worth playing in 2026?

A mecha action by NCS Masaya, Juusou Kihei Leynos or Target Earth in the west offers a science fiction adventure where you pilot a robot in tactical missions with weapon choices and equipment progression. The detailed mecha art direction, precise handling and ambitious storyline make this title an overlooked gem of the Mega Drive catalogue. For anyone fond of serious mecha games or seeking an original tactical action experience, a warm recommendation still valid today on the Sega console truly indeed here for any genre fan now.
