Description

"Metal Warriors" is a side-scrolling action game developed by LucasArts and published by Konami, released in 1995 exclusively for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The game is set in the year 2102 and immerses players in an interstellar conflict between the United Government's forces and the opposition, Dark Axis, led by the nefarious Venkar Amon. Players take on the role of Lieutenant Stone, piloting an advanced mechanized suit known as an Assault Suit to battle against enemy forces. The game stood out due to its fast-paced action and detailed graphics, utilizing the SNES hardware to deliver a visually compelling experience.

Gameplay in "Metal Warriors" is unique in that players can switch between different suits (mechs) throughout the missions, each equipped with its own specific weapons and capabilities, providing strategic depth and variety. These include six different types of mechs such as the agile and lightly armed "Havoc," the heavy and powerful "Prometheus," and the versatile "Spider," each suited to different combat scenarios. A significant feature of the game is the ability to leave the mech and proceed on foot, allowing players to infiltrate enemy lines or steal unoccupied enemy mechs. "Metal Warriors" also features a split-screen mode for two players, adding a competitive edge where players can face off in dedicated arenas. This variety in gameplay, combined with its rich graphical presentation, has made "Metal Warriors" a highly regarded title among the library of SNES games, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of side-scrolling shooter mechanics.
