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.
