Battle station cyberg's massive computer that keeps peace throughout the solar system is no longer user friendly. It's gone wildly out of control. The LaserGun it operates has already destroyed Neptune. Earth is its next target. As a high-tech hot shot, you must enter Cyber's core and activate the system's self-destruct mechanism. Mankind is reyling on your know-how and toughness to see this thing through. But time is running out...

This was a very enjoyable NES game. Quick levels, responsive controls, a fair challenge, generous checkpoints and continues. The tight pacing really suits portable play, I'm honestly surprised they never made a Game Boy version of Metal Storm. I also adored the animation on your little robot, it was very satisfying to watch it stomp along. I'm glad to have finally played through the whole thing.
I did find the boss fights to be a bit annoying, so the game ending on a boss rush with no final boss was a bit of a letdown. Still, very good game otherwise.

buen plataformero con mecánicas interesantes, no le doy mas estrellas porque me pareció un poco corto y el final no era lo que esperaba.

One of the late highlights of the NES, and it's about gravity flipping mechas! This resulted in a cutting-edge science-y game with awesome presentation and a refreshingly liberating gravity gimmick, albeit one that compliments the NES' reputable old-school difficulty. For as much as I wish there were more levels where you could experiment with gravity switching, the curated challenges are all still great to run down here. Also, I gotta give it up the insane endings of this game in Japan and North America: the former being surprisingly cut from the same cloth as a classic existential mecha tale... and the latter being the most hilariously bullshit epilogue you can think of. Great game!

Oh man. Where do I start?
Irem, I do miss you lol
From the minds that gave us the R-Type franchise, comes Metal Storm.
Possibly the first game on the NES to feature the player piloting a mech.
You jump, you shoot, you reverse gravitational axis…wait…what?
Yep, that is this games gimmick. And it uses this gimmick well.
It’s not just a platformer where you can walk on the ceiling, there are sections that require you to flip back and forth.
Once you get proficient at it, it makes you feel like a complete and total bad-ass. Like you could launch Rambo with a single kick to the butt.
Irem branches out from the shmup genre once in a while, and I’m glad they do.
This game is a gem.

One of the best games on the NES, top 3 game on the console.
Gameplay doesn't get any better. You get to flip up and down between gravity on the floor or the ceiling, which makes traversing thru levels very unique.
Soundtrack is good but not great. The animations are also pretty good for an NES/Famicom game.
Boss fights are all fun,, with 1 particularly hard motherfucker near the end.
A must-play for the console.

Possui um modo extra depois de zerar, mas não é lá essas coisas, pois só aumenta a dificuldade.
