Gynoug

"Gynoug is an experience. The gameplay is fine, it does the job and has just enough added gubbins to keep it feeling mostly fresh. The star of the show, however are the visuals. This game comes from a time long …"

"Wings of Wor; oops, I mean Gynoug... is a solid shoot &s;em up from the golden age of the genre with a clever magic system, stand-out bosses, and there are now interesting cheats to help modernize it all. So, if …"

"Gynoug is a memorable shoot &s;em up that is a must play for anyone who loves this genre, especially with a retro look. This game will definitely work your eyes to the max, so I recommend playing earlier in the …"

"The return of Gynoug is a great choice, treasuring an excellent title from the golden age of games. However, all the mystique from that age needs to be explored with the due effort that fans wish and deserve. Even so, …"

"I was someone who missed out on Gynoug the first time around, and while I am glad I got to experience a “new” Sega game, I wouldn’t say this is a must-have unless this was something from your childhood you’d …"

"An old classic. Gynoug is a game that should be experienced by anyone. Especially fans of the shoot &s;em up genre."

"Gynoug is a fairly average horizontal shooter, even if it’s nowhere near the same exciting level of action that Gleylancer provided. Still, the QOL options here are very welcome, and just like with that game I feel that this port …"

"Gynoug is a side-scrolling shmup, a.k.a. shoot’em up, which was first released as Wings of Wor way back in 1991 for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. The game tells the story of the angel Wor who must come to the rescue …"

"If you put on the invincibility, players can take down the final boss in maybe 35 minutes. It’s a quick playthrough but altering the cheats or challenging myself and trying to power through it all without cheating could result in …"

"Gynoug is a relic from the past that I had an absolute blast playing in the present. It took me back to a simpler time of gaming. One where you don’t need excessive plot and gaming gimmicks to impress. Just …"

"At the same competitive £4.99/$6.99 launch price, Gynoug&s;s a great 2D shooter companion to Gleylancer. Therefore, if Ratalaika&s;s setting its sights on Mega Drive horizontal shmups, then hopefully Hellfire could eventually blast onto modern consoles, as it was also partially …"

"The Switch has really seen a strong run of more obscure retro console shooters of late, and while the gameplay of Gynoug may be a bit more generic than its brethren there&s;s no doubt that its general looks, enemies, and …"

"Gynoug should be a fun trip for anyone looking to see what one of the oldest shoot ‘em ups has to offer. The game is punishing but newly added options make it so anyone can see it though to the …"

"Gynoug hasn’t quite got that special extra spark that turns a great game into a spectacular one, but even so it’s still a unique and thoroughly enjoyable thirty-year-old shmup capable of standing proudly next to any other sold on the …"

"Gynoug is not going to win any accolades for originality or for doing anything that is especially exciting but what it does, it does well. It has a good learning curve as well as being technically excellent and enjoyable to …"

"While I don’t think there’s anything here that’ll dethrone a current favorite, it’s still fun, and that’s more than I can say for some. It ain’t Ikaruga, but it’s a solid game for seven bucks, and definitely worth your time."

"Gynoug is not one of the most common 16-bit games that we see getting a re-release these days, but this 30-year-old 2D shooter deserves to be more known among today&s;s gamers. With the typical punishing difficulty of its time and …"

"The gameplay is faultless in what it does, but Gynoug doesn&s;t do anything to stand out. If you are nostalgic towards the game or those alike, you&s;ll get much more out of this than someone brand new to Gynoug. Unfortunately, …"
