Continuing the trends of newer games coming to older consoles, we have Gunslugs, a new Sega Genesis game.

Gunslugs promises to deliver action-packed run-and-gun levels, as well as a permadeath system.

Here’s a brief blurb on the game, plus an official trailer:

Gunslugs is an action-packed, fast-paced run-and-jump game with a rogue-like permadeath element that centers around the escapades of a group of slugs aiming to uncover the secrets of the enigmatic Black Duck army and halt their war efforts.

The game, released for the first time on Sega, offers physical copies with a box, a full-color manual, and a cartridge.

Gunslugs was originally released for Microsoft Windows (through Steam), and Android, subverting the trend of games made for the Sega Genesis by actually being ported to the console instead.

Gunslugs can be purchased for $44.99 USD as a real Sega Genesis cartridge, on the RetroRoomGames store.
