Blood Gear
TurboGrafx CD · 1994
About this game
The Deguna Empire is terrorizing the planets and their inhabitants, using their unbeaten military force consisting of "Powered Gears", giant combat robots piloted by human fighters from the inside.
One day, a squad of Empire robots assaulted a laboratory, in which two scientists were working on their own Powered Gear project.

One of the scientists, heavily wounded, still managed to deliver a Powered Gear control device to his young apprentice Aref, before he died from his wounds.
Enraged, Aref swears revenge to the Empire and everything it represents.
With his own new Powered Gear, and perhaps a few allies who think alike, the idea might not be as suicidal as it sounded first...
Blood Gear is a role-playing game with action-based combat.
The general gameplay system is somewhat similar to that of the Exile series: town exploration is performed from the standard "RPG-like" top-down view, while all hostile areas are presented as side-scrolling levels, sometimes with elaborate platform structures.
The player fights enemy robots in real-time combat, similarly to a regular side-scrolling action game.
Player-controlled Powered Gear can be equipped with a variety of weapons.
Both melee and ranged weapons (pistols, assault rifles, laser guns, etc.) can be purchased in stores and/or found while exploring hostile areas.
Health is restored with repair kits of various efficiency, which can also be purchased, found, or randomly dropped by enemies.
About TurboGrafx CD
The TurboGrafx-CD (1989) was one of the earliest CD-ROM add-ons for a home console, expanding the TurboGrafx-16's library with games too large for cartridges. Its already-niche parent platform combined with the added cost of the CD add-on kept the North American audience small, making complete TurboGrafx-CD sets a genuinely rare find for collectors today.
Gamevaro tracks Blood Gear for TurboGrafx CD with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Blood Gear to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This TGCD release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Blood Gear, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common TurboGrafx CD titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
