I have never played this game. I barely even understand the gameplay from what I've seen. If I were to play it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even like it that much. I have tried to emulate it before, but Sega Saturn emulation is a joke and anyone who tells you it's viable is lying to themselves and everyone around them. Burning Rangers is an elusive cryptid of a game that I only have tangentially experienced through playing Sonic All Stars Racing and listening to the soundtrack and imagining how cool the game might be. And man, does that soundtrack absolutely slam. For the entirely of 2019, the Burning Rangers theme song was the main character of my cardio workout playlist and I would run at inhuman speeds whenever it popped up. And every time I finished a workout, I'd think to myself "Yo, Burning Rangers is the greatest game ever created" despite never playing it a single time.
While it is fun to play pretend and push this baseless agenda, I would consider this is fraudulent behavior on my end. I do not desire to be a fake Burning Rangers fan. I need to play it for myself and craft a unique informed experience rather than pretending like I'm some 90's kid whose soul was set a flame by Sonic Team, when they popped in their Burning Rangers disc into their Uncle's Sega Saturn. That's not good enough for me. I want reality. We all deserve that reality. We all need Burning Rangers to be preserved and playable so that was can develop our own personal and real relationships with the game rather than wondering about "What If". There's so much strife, pain, and suffering we have to endure as human beings in this modern world. Do we really need Burning Rangers not having a modern port added on top of that? I don't think we do.
Never played the game but watched playthrough videos of this twice. The only negatives I could see for this game is that it is way too short, and I think it is an unfinished game. I can see with the 2D animated scenes, there would of most likely been other kinds of gameplay, more areas to explore, maybe get to know characters and maybe play other characters. If there be an updated finished version of this with better graphics and voice acting, it would be great.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
