Released
quite early in the Mega Drive's life, Assault Suit
Leynos was a relatively discreet third-party title
by NCS, that remained mostly unknown outside of Japan
(and the import market). It did get itself a limited
U.S. release under the title 'Target Earth', but even
that went mostly unnoticed.
And that is a crime, because Leynos is an absolutely superb
action / shooting game, and a real highlight of the
Mega Drive's early library. Solid and meticulous gameplay,
a vicious difficulty level and intricately varied
stages will keep even the most hardened of players on
their toes, in a tense strategic battle against an invading
enemy armada and an ever-recurring 'Game Over' screen. This game is tough.
It will forever remain a mystery why nobody chose not
to give this a more widespread release. It would have
done well - as did its Super Famicom follow-up Assault
Suits Valken (1992) when its was published
internationally as 'Cybernator'.
A very recommended and criminally under-rated title - as is its sequel,
the Sega Saturn Assault
Suit Leynos 2 (1997).

Despite
some slightly grinding music
this is one hell of an arcade
action game, not for
the faint of heart.
