Super Turrican is the next generation installment of the famous Turrican series. Once again it is up to the U.S.S. Freedom Forces to get into their Turrican Assault Suits and drive back the forces of "The Machine". The story revolves around stopping an evil force that threatens the world.
The gameplay in Super Turrican features large levels that are packed with secrets, which can be explored freely and in any direction. Turrican has three upgradeable shots: a spreadshot, a powerful laser, and a rebound that bounces off walls. Additionally, there is a Freeze-Beam that can be used to temporarily freeze enemies, making it easier to discover hidden secret capsules. These capsules contain powerups and often lead to secret areas.
Turrican also has the ability to transform into an energy wheel, which allows him to lay mines and makes him invincible for a short time. The game's unique blend of exploration, combat, and transformation gameplay makes it a thrilling experience for players.
