Dust off your Sega Master System, because a new contender has entered the arena. Developer BadComputer0 has officially dropped Razing Core, a top-down shooter that proves the SMS still has plenty of fight left in it.
Built using devkitSMS, this isn’t just a quick tech demo; it’s a polished, full-fledged experience complete with a killer soundtrack by Polaria Poyon. If you’ve played the early alpha versions, you’ll find this version feels like a massive, high-octane upgrade. It’s the kind of game that makes you wonder why we ever moved past 8-bit sprites.
Here is the quick breakdown for your wallet and your hardware:
- The Price: It’s a steal at $8 for the digital version, which even includes a printable PDF manual for those of us who miss the tactile feel of a game booklet.
- The Collectors: If you prefer physical media, hang tight—a full boxed edition is slated for 2027.
- Pro Tip: If you’re playing on an FPGA device like a MiSTer, you might need to disable your BIOS to get things running smoothly.
Whether you’re a shmup veteran or someone who struggles to dodge a single bullet, Razing Core is well worth a spin.
