About this product

Product Information

While the Sega Genesis is home to many space shooters, Truxton by Toaplan stands out. A combination of high-quality graphics, award-winning sound, and a challenging level of difficulty make this a popular shooter game for the Sega console. The storyline for this game is simple and gives you all the background you need to know. The evil Dogurava is the leader of the Gidan army. He sets his sights on conquering the planet Borogo by smashing five asteroids into the world's surface. As the sole survivor of the initial wave of attacks, you steal a ship and take the fight to Dogurava. Originally released as an arcade game in Japan, Truxton was released on the Sega Genesis in 1989.This version of Truxton retains all the features of its arcade counterpart. The music, levels, and graphics are the same between the two games. Like other games in this genre, Truxton is a vertical scrolling game. Your ship is in the bottom half of the screen, and the screen will continuously scroll upwards. Your ship is outfitted with two weapons: a cannon and a stack of bombs. One button on the Genesis controller will shoot the gun, while the other will shoot a bomb.Your default weapon is a three-way shooter that destroys enemies directly in front of you. As you play the Genesis version of Truxton, you'll encounter items that allow you to power-up your weapon. Collect four of these icons to advance to the next power level. For example, your three-way cannon now becomes a deadly five-way cannon when powered up. In addition to powering up your base gun, Truxton offers two additional weapon types. One weapon type will allow you to shoot a green arrow in front of your ship. This arrow pierces through enemies, destroying numerous foes at one time. The other weapon type is a stream of lightning that will home in on your enemies. Lastly, there is a limited stock of bombs you can use. Each bomb will deal massive damage to all enemies on the screen and destroy all bullets. You can collect more bombs as you play by destroying enemy troops. There are also speed increases available, which make it easier to maneuver around enemy bullets.You'll need all the power-ups you can get, as Truxton is a challenging game. It's so difficult that developer Toaplan has given it the alternate name Tatsujin, which means "expert." Like most Sega games in this genre, it only takes one bullet to destroy your ship. While this Sega Genesis game does feature checkpoints, you lose your upgrades when destroyed. Once your lives are gone in Truxton, the game is over and you must start again from the beginning. If you're finding the difficult too hard, Truxton offers multiple difficulty modes. The Easy mode makes the enemies move more slowly and fire less often, while the Hard mode makes everything faster.The Genesis version of the game features five stages divided into two sections each. You'll first play through an outer space level, followed by a level that involves attacking the asteroid itself. This retro game isn't over after the credits roll either. Truxton restarts from the beginning after completing the last level, earning players a different ending if they can win again. While this title has no official rating, it features intense action gaming. It is considered suitable for gamers of all ages.

Fun shooter, decent port of an arcade game
This was an early Genesis title, so one can't fault it for being fairly simple, but for what it is, it is an enjoyable distraction. There aren't a variety of options and no multiplayer, but that's fine, because this is a great port of a decent arcade shooter. There are difficulty levels, and on the easy difficulty level you have infinite continues. You get less on normal and the least on hard. If you compare this to the arcade game, you'll note subtle uses of color, shading, and a little more depth in the graphics, but those who did the port did a great job of preserving most of the image information. In fact, unless you're putting them side by side or have been playing the arcade version a lot lately, you may not be able to tell the difference! The game itself is your standard vertical ... This was an early Genesis title, so one can't fault it for being fairly simple, but for what it is, it is an enjoyable distraction. There aren't a variety of options and no multiplayer, but that's fine, because this is a great port of a decent arcade shooter. There are difficulty levels, and on the easy difficulty level you have infinite continues. You get less on normal and the least on hard. If you compare this to the arcade game, you'll note subtle uses of color, shading, and a little more depth in the graphics, but those who did the port did a great job of preserving most of the image information. In fact, unless you're putting them side by side or have been playing the arcade version a lot lately, you may not be able to tell the difference! The game itself is your standard vertical scrolling space shooter, with three types of armaments you can have for your ship (which explodes in one hit): Normal shots (a spread of red bullets) Thunder Laser (big green bolts) Truxton Beam (a blue lightning bolt that spans the screen and can home in on bigger ships to do continuous damage) You also have large skull themed bombs that can be dropped to blow up a cluster of enemies who fly into it, deal massive damage to bosses, or, more commonly, to save yourself from enemy bullets when you're about to be hit. Finally, the real strategy in the game is picking up the "P"'s. These P's, when accumulated, upgrade your weapon, so you fire more shots, beams, bolts, etc. It's a real annoyance then, when you get wasted and lose all or most of your progress. The sound is adequate for this type of game, and you may find it stuck in your head over time, but nothing too memorable. The controls are easy enough, with one button firing your limited bombs, one firing your shots, and the other a "rapid fire" button, which is handy if you don't have a rapid fire controller (and your fingers WILL get tired after awhile, especially if you don't use the Truxton Beam exclusively). Start button pauses, and you can move your ship in eight directions.

Truxton!!!! Very well crafted vertical shmup, high fun output.
Ever wanted to feel like a rock-star spaceship pilot / shooter? Thanks to Toaplan's quality title Truxton, that pleasure can become a reality in your very own home. Truxton is a challenging yet very fair and rewarding space ship shooter with elements of strategy including red, blue and green weapons that change fire type (don't underestimate the Truxton beam!) as well as ship upgrades and bombs that eliminate on-screen fire. There is some brief memorization to the levels but Truxton is manageable thanks to an amazingly comfortable / functional controller, multiple checkpoints and player chosen difficulty that affects the number of credits allotted to the player (one could potentially see the whole game through playing on easy). To top it off, the soundtrack to Truxton is well composed, ... Ever wanted to feel like a rock-star spaceship pilot / shooter?

If you like space ship shooter games, don't deny yourself the pleasure that is Truxton on the Sega Genesis.

Truxton...Why?
I don't know why I keep coming back to TRUXTON. Never since the METROID games have I ever been so infuriated and frustrated. It is asinine and unfair how enemy crafts come at you from the side and *behind* you, yet you can only shoot *forward*! Plus the bosses are hard enough, but the game also expects you to contend with dozens of turrets atop the giant mechanical monstrosities. And when you destroy them, that's still not the end of the stage! There's another barrage of lesser enemies to deal with, and should you die you have to defeat the boss *again*! TRUXTON does everything in its power to piss you off, yet provides enough satisfying shooter action to keep you coming back.I don't know why I keep coming back to TRUXTON.

Truxton Review
Awesome game, if you like shooters then this is a must have for your collection, it's the same game as Truxton in Japanese and you don't need to know Japanese in order to play it.
