SEGA today announced the upcoming re-release of Guardian Heroes HD, a classic Action-RPG Brawler by celebrated developers Treasure.

Guardian Heroes brings the Saturn favorite to life with new HD graphics, presenting Treasure’s iconic fast-paced gameplay on a new generation of hardware, with all of the convenience of purchase via instant download.

The game also features:
