Game: Granada
System: Sega Genesis
Version: (US)
This is the longplay of the game Granada, a shooter game released for Sharp X68000 and Mega Drive/Sega Genesis in 1990 in Japan, United States and Brazil, developed by Wolfteam. The game was published in Japan by Wolfteam, in the United States by Renovation Products, Inc. and in Brazil by Tectoy.
The game takes place in Africa, in the year 2016, which is portrayed in a futuristic manner. A full-scale Civil War began due to disputes between nations over mining rights for rare metals. This war escalated rapidly due to the development of a new advanced type of tank called the Maneuver Cepters. A mysterious Maneuver Cepter of unknown origin called "Granada", has been destroying heavy mobile weapons of the northern and southern factions.
The protagonist of the game is a mercenary named Leon Todo, who accepts the task of an agent of the company that takes him to Japan. Leon takes control of the Grenade war tank and needs to use its heavy artillery to end the war once and for all.
In the game, we control the Granada tank in an overhead view. The object of the game is to destroy all targets marked in red on the map and face the boss (which is a flashing red target) before time runs out. The tank has a machine gun with rapid fire (Button A) to destroy small enemies and a super powerful missile shot (Button C), which can destroy enemies with a few or even a single attack, in addition to being essential against bosses, however this requires precision as well as pushing back and requires caution to avoid falling into traps when using it. Button B, when held down, serves to lock the tank in a single direction when moving.
The tank can shoot in 16 different directions and also has support items, which are:
- Reflector (a rotating square, which when hit by the Granada cannon, ends up shooting shots in all directions and chasing enemies),
- Epalet (which adds the ability to fire guided missiles)
- Paul Bunyan (attaches a plate-shaped shield to the front of the Grenada. It is launched forward when the Grenade fires a missile with C, which causes it to spray bullets in multiple directions before returning to the Grenade)
- Chromleck (which adds metallic balls that rotate around the tank when firing a weapon, useful for attack and defense)
- Hidden (a kind of flare, which when hit by the Granada missile , ends up causing a powerful attack against nearby enemies).
The game has Easy, Normal, Hard and Mania levels. The difference between them is that if you choose Hard or Mania, the life bar and the time to finish the stage drastically reduce, in addition to more aggressive enemies. The game is quite challenging. Unfortunately, there are no items to recover life or extra lives, so precision in controlling the tank is crucial.
Granada is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "XGranadaX" or "Granada X" because of ambiguity in the design of the logo. The soundtrack is awesome and was composed by Masaaki Uno and Motoi Sakuraba (same creator of music from Valkyrie Profile). Is a good shoot-'em-up, with graphics very well made and very underrated. That game was also planned to be released in Europe under Ubisoft publishing, but was canceled for unknown reasons.
The video was made in Normal mode (I had already made a video in the Mania level, published on World of Longplays). Hope you like it.
