Description

THE LEGENDARY SUPER FAMICOM CULT CLASSIC IS BACK.

 

Developed by Manfred Trenz (creator of the Turrican series) and published by German software powerhouse Rainbow Arts®, this game was originally released in 1995. Originally slated to come to the West as Targa, the game ultimately ended up as a Japan-only title, with only 10,000 copies printed, making it one of the most sought-after collectibles in retro gaming.

 

You are the Rendering Ranger known as Double R, a special forces soldier who must defend the Earth from a devastating alien invasion. Through nine levels of action platforming as well as blisteringly fast horizontal shooter stages, Rendering Ranger: R2 is one of the greatest technological showcases ever seen on the Super Nintendo!

 

FEATURES:

 

  • Faithful emulation of Rendering Ranger: R² and its unreleased PAL version Targa with rewind and save features
  • Gut-wrenching side-scrolling action with sprawling stage design and cinematic presentation
  • Mind-blowingly fast horizontal shooting stages unlike any seen before on Super Nintendo
  • Upgradable weapons, tons of enemies, dynamic on-scene mayhem at nearly every turn
  • Gigantic bosses in sprites converted from pre-rendered 3D models
  • Timeless 16-bit action at its best from legendary game creator Manfred Trenz

Echo of the past

Nice Run'N'Gun shooter, a bit too arcade style for my taste. I prefer what was designed for western marked home computers of the time. Don't expect something like Turrican 2 here or even Gunlord X (btw, we need a PC version for that one), even if some gameplay elements are definitly inspired by the masterpiece. The music of the trailer is not like the ingame music which for arcade or SNES standards is not bad, but also not great. One of the tracks sounds neat, the rest is mediocre. Controls are just what you would expect from a 90s Run N Gun game, no surprises here. I was actually thinking of giving three stars, because over the decades I have played several shooters that were better. But I set for four, because it's really not a bad game and good for a trip down memory lane.

The game doesn't launch on Windows 11

Unfortunately, the game doesn't launch at all on Windows 11. Tried reinstalling, compatibility mode, running as admin — no success. Contacted support, followed all steps, still no result. Requested a refund. Hopefully this gets fixed in a future patch
