Guns of Fury

If Metal Slug was a metroidvania with a story that was reminiscent of the original Bionic Commando for the NES, and you gave it a fresh coat of paint and some QoL features, it'd be this game.

A fun Metal Slug meets metroidvania game. Great retro graphics and music. My only major complaint is having to go into the pause menu to change gear, really could have used a weapon wheel or some other method of quickly changing gear.

Cool concept to turn Metal Slug into a Metroidvania game. Love the art and game mechanics, although its a bit too hard for my taste. When you get stuck, BOY do you get stuck. Unlike the games it is trying to copy, the game gives you zero direction. If you enjoy spending hours running from one side to the other without knowing what to do next, this is the game for you!

[h2] Heavy Machine Gun!! [/h2] Guns of Fury es un título que merece más atención, especialmente entre los fans de la saga Metal Slug. El estilo run’n’gun funciona sorprendentemente bien con la fórmula metroidvania —mundo interconectado, backtracking, habilidades, etc.— y, aunque la historia y los personajes son bastante genéricos, su sólido gameplay y la cantidad de contenido hacen que sea una aventura que vale la pena descubrir.

This game is a delight, I've been after a meaty, not short metroidvania for a while and this has certainly delivered. The art style and Music has been a breath of fresh air. Love it a lot

A hidden pearl in the metroidvania category. If you want to reach 100% completion, the game eventually gives you the tools to find everything without searching aimlessly. NG+ has some new items in the shops but they don't count. The only thing I haven't appreciated are the missable endings.

Metal Slug, but if it was a Metroidvania. Really fun, great weapon variety, and some cool movement tech. Boss fight are unexpectedly difficult, requiring some serious pattern memorization along with a lot of luck. You can theoretically heal-spam through them, but it would take a lot of money to pay for that many healing items. Fair warning, don't try to obsessively collect all of the secrets every time you get a new upgrade. A lot of them require a combination of abilities, so you'll spend a lot of time running back and forth for little reward. The game introduces a much better fast-travel option in the late game, and a radar that shows every room with missed secrets right before the final boss.

It checked all the right boxes for me in what it advertises to be, I had a good time with GUNS OF FURY.
