Gunlord is a "Eurostyle" action-platformer originally released for the Neo Geo MVS and AES in 2012 by NG:Dev.Team . It is widely considered a masterpiece of modern homebrew development for SNK's 24-bit powerhouse, serving as a spiritual successor to the legendary Turrican series. History and Development

The MVS (arcade) version launched on March 26, 2012, followed by the AES (home console) version on April 25, 2013.

Players have access to seven weapon types and a 360-degree beam weapon used for crowd control and finding secrets.

Each stage culminates in a boss fight, though some players find the platforming challenges more difficult than the bosses themselves. ROM and Hardware Versions

Set after the events of Last Hope , players control Gordian as he searches for his wife, Vanessa, on the planet Chyros 2 while battling the villainous "Master". Gameplay Mechanics

Gunlord deviates from traditional Neo Geo run-and-guns like Metal Slug by focusing heavily on exploration and non-linear level design.

An enhanced version titled Gunlord X was released for Nintendo Switch in 2019, featuring widescreen support, new bosses, and extended stages. Performance and Technical Details Gunlord 1st release English AES by NG:DEV.TEAM
