Play Ex-Ranza (Japan) (Beta) Online
Ex-Ranza's beta feels like poking around a dev's abandoned workshop—you jump through half-finished levels, fight bosses with wonky AI, and soak up that raw Genesis energy. The glitches almost feel intentional, like part of its scrappy charm.
Game Overview
Ex-Ranza is one of those weird, unfinished Genesis games that makes you wonder what could've been. The beta version feels like stumbling into a developer's sketchbook—some levels are rough, enemies move in odd ways, and the music cuts out in places, but there's this scrappy energy to it. You'll fight through colorful, slightly glitchy stages with a mix of tight platforming and janky-but-fun combat.
What really sticks with me are the little things: a boss that teleports erratically because the AI isn't quite finished, or a background layer that flickers like it's embarrassed to be seen. It's absolutely a museum piece, but the kind where you're allowed to press all the buttons. If you're into gaming archaeology or just love the Genesis' particular brand of chaos, this is a fascinating detour.
Just don't expect a polished experience—half the fun is spotting the seams.
