I finally got around to playing Earthion today and had a blast running through it on a Sunday afternoon. After getting my ass kicked on Stage 5 on medium mode, I decided to take a run through the game on easy mode. Gotta love the Yuzo Kushiro music, but how could you not?
Now I have to buy the damn soundtrack!
Played on a Sega Genesis Model 1 system via SCART on a RetroTink4k.
Jump back into the golden age of the Sega Genesis with Earthion, a brand-new shoot-’em-up developed natively for the 16-bit system by Ancient Corp., with music by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro. Play as Azusa Takanashi, a starfighter pilot defending a dying Earth across eight action-packed levels.
Originally released digitally on modern platforms on July 31, 2025, the physical Mega Drive cartridge version arrives in 2026. Features include CRT-style scanlines, multiple difficulty modes, password save system, a music player, and more. Don’t miss this next-level retro experience!
