Burning Rangers (CIB)

Developed by Sonic Team and released in 1998, Burning Rangers wasn’t just one of the last first-party titles for the Sega Saturn — it was a bold, genre-defying farewell. Set in a futuristic world where elite rescue squads risk everything to save lives from raging infernos, this game flipped the script on traditional action titles. No guns. No monsters. Just fire, chaos, and courage.

What makes Burning Rangers so legendary isn’t just its inventive gameplay — it’s the vision. Real-time 3D environments. Fully voiced navigation (in an era when that was unheard of). An anime-inspired cast. A high-energy soundtrack that still slaps. And all of it running on a system notoriously difficult to develop for — a technical marvel squeezed out of the Saturn’s final breath.

Today, Burning Rangers is more than a game — it’s a showpiece. With its extremely limited Western release, pristine copies are incredibly rare. For collectors, it represents not just the end of an era, but one of Sega’s most creative flourishes — an experimental gem that pushed boundaries when everyone else was playing it safe.

At RetroRane, we honor the games that dared to be different.
Burning Rangers didn’t just go out with a bang — it went out in a blaze of glory.
