🔫 Final Zone II (TurboGrafx-CD) – Cybernetic Chaos with a CD-Quality Punch! 💥 🦾
Today we’re diving into Final Zone II, a 1990 top-down action shooter for the TurboGrafx-CD that delivers futuristic firepower, anime flair, and CD-powered presentation. Developed by Wolf Team and published by Telenet Japan, this title is a follow-up to the original Final Zone on computers — and while it’s rough around the edges, it brings plenty of charm for fans of 16-bit sci-fi action.
You play as a member of Unit Black Cobra, an elite squad of cyber-enhanced warriors battling through enemy-infested cityscapes, jungles, and labs. Featuring multiple playable characters, Final Zone II mixes fast-paced 8-directional shooting with dodging, positioning, and a good helping of anime-style cutscenes and voice acting to drive the story.
🦿 Why Final Zone II is worth checking out:
Multiple characters with unique weapons and playstyles
CD-quality soundtrack with pumping synth and high-energy tracks
Voice-acted anime-style cutscenes that push narrative for its time
Fast, arcade-like gameplay with a unique angled perspective
Stylish enemy mechs and bosses with a gritty 80s sci-fi tone
A cult classic for fans of Cybernator, Metal Storm, or Assault Suits Valken
While the gameplay can feel stiff and the hit detection isn’t perfect, Final Zone II’s personality and presentation make it stand out in the TurboGrafx-CD library. It’s loud, stylish, and unapologetically early '90s — a time capsule of when CD gaming was still finding its footing.
