Released for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Granada is a shoot 'em up developed by Wolf Team and published by Renovation Products. It blends shoot 'em up and action elements.

Wolf Team also made El Viento, Arcus Odyssey and Zan: Yasha Enbukyoku for the Genesis.

Granada is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you dislike high difficulty and screens full of bullets
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Granada is like

Shoot 'em ups (shmups) put you in a ship facing waves of enemies and bullets. Runs are short and intense, and the goal is to survive, collect power-ups and push your high score.

Tip for newcomers: Focus on your ship's small hitbox rather than the flood of bullets, and learn which power-ups suit each stage. Most shmups are designed to be replayed many times.
