About Saban's VR Troopers
VR Troopers is a 1995 fighting game based on the American syndicated television series VR Troopers that itself used elements from several different Japanese tokusatsu shows from the Metal Hero Series. The player has three modes to choose from. Story Game, Vs. Battle, and CPU duel. Story Game is a mode where the player can choose from any one of the three VR Troopers to face off against the evil leader Grimlord's mutants and cyborgs and eventually Grimlord. Vs. Battle is a two-player mode where a player and a friend can face off against each other. CPU duel is a simple fight between the player and an opponent controlled by the computer. The player can choose their fighter, and what stage they want to fight on. If the player chooses a fighter and the opponent is the same fighter, the opponents character gets re-skinned a different color.

A licensed fighter that period critics treated as one of the weakest games around.
This is the Genesis version of VR Troopers, a fighting game based on the television series, developed by Syrox Developments and published by Sega. It came out in North America in November 1995 and in Europe in 1995.
Reviews were poor. Next Generation gave it one star out of five, calling the fighting generic and simplistic, though fine for kids. Mean Machines Sega called it the year's most atrocious license cash-in, with terrible graphics and zero playability.
What the press said at the time
“VR Troopers may have lots of fighters, but they don’t control well.”
“Terrible graphics, zero playability and no reason whatsoever to even consider buying it. The year's most atrocious license cash-in.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis game offers Story Game, a two-player Vs. Battle and a CPU duel, where the Game Gear version has just two modes.
Also on other platforms

- Game Gear. The Game Gear version has a Story Game and a ladder-style Battle Game with eight fighters, plus a ninth shape-shifting character called Kamelion.
