Defunct Games reviews Turrican Flashback, a new collection featuring Turrican, Turrican II: The Final Fight, Mega Turrican and Super Turrican. Available January 29 on PlayStation 4 and Switch.
By combining the best elements from Contra and Metroid, Turrican won over an entire generation of run 'n gun fans in the 1990s. Now it's back, thanks to Turrican Flashback, an exciting new compilation that features the iconic original, as well as Turrican II: The Final Fight, Mega Turrican and Super Turrican. This is a slick package that has thought of just about everything, including a rewind button, cheat codes and save states. Sure, it's missing some games and the difficulty can be punishing at times, but Turrican Flashback is a fantastic collection that shows us why this franchise is beloved by so many people. If you love run 'n gun shooters, then Turrican is for you.
