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.
