For what's essentially a side-scrolling shooter, the different stages are amazingly varied, both in the way they look and in the way they must be played. It's obvious that a lot of thought and creativity went into Metal Storm. This might not seem like much until you run into the game's well-designed layouts of platforms, one-way barriers, and enemies that alter their patterns depending on whether you're on the floor or the ceiling. By pressing the A button while pushing up on the directional pad, you can reverse the pull of gravity, allowing you to "fall" upward and walk on the ceiling. Fortunately, you're equipped with the M-308 Gunner, a cybernetic battle suit with enormous firepower and the ability to reverse gravity.Īlthough the background story is fairly ordinary, MetalStorm is anything but an ordinary game, thanks mostly to the M-308's unique gravity flip. Somehow you must battle your way past the station's defenses to activate the self-destruct device. Originally designed to protect Earth from hostile space aliens, Cyberg malfunctioned and turned against our own solar system.
That hope was shattered, however, when disaster struck the powerful battle station Cyberg on Pluto. In the year 2501, mankind looked forward to peace and prosperity.
