Overview and Gameplay
The Machine returns, leaving a lone Turrican soldier to fight through a more linear, set-piece-heavy SNES sequel. Super Turrican 2 combines side-scrolling run-and-gun action with platforming, bosses, vehicle scenes, score, health, time limits, lives, continues, and difficulty settings.
The assault suit uses upgradeable weapons such as the Spread Rifle, Laser, Flame Thrower, Rebound Laser, Homing Missile, and Smart-Bomb while moving through hostile planets, sewers, deep-sea areas, and mechanical strongholds.
