A “run and gun”-style side scrolling action game, Gunstar Heroes made its first appearance on Sega’s legendary Genesis video game console in 1993. It’s reappeared periodically since then, and Sega has now brought the game to iOS.

Gunstar Heroes features 360-degree shooting, four different weapons types and 10 different attack styles, more than 25 boss battles and support for multiplayer action using Bluetooth connectivity.
