A cyberpunk multi-directional shoot 'em up for the PC Engine. Metal Stoker is a top-down, multi-directional shoot 'em up for the PC Engine, developed and published by Face (possibly through their subsidiary brand Sankindo). The game features the subtitle "Neo Hardboiled Shooting". The goal of the game is to explore each stage, fight a boss and move onto the next. Some stages are comprised of several linear enclosed areas that require that the player clear the room of enemies before they can proceed, while others are more open and let the player scroll in multiple directions while seeking out their foes. The story is sparse, and concerns the player's testing out of a new Custom CS-05 tank through a series of simulations. The game was released exclusively for the PC Engine. It has yet to be rereleased in any capacity.

Dang this kinda rules. Reminds me of Granada or Herzog Zwei but pure shmup action. Really love locking your firing angle into place depending on the level design; this is basically a cover-based open-zone mission-based scrolling shooter. Sign me up!
