App summary

Metal Ranger is a 2D shooter with a nostalgic feel of the 1980s sci-fi action movies and games.

You are playing as a ranger wearing powerful steel armor.

Your enemies are giant alien mutant insects.

Take advantage of a great variety of deadly weapons! Choose from an assault rifle, the M134 Minigun machine gun, a grenade launcher, a laser gun, a plasma gun, and a flamethrower.

Complete missions, earn coins, and get armor and HP upgrades.

Start your journey in the factory compound of a Martian colony and fight your way through eerie industrial underground vaults and narrow metal walkways, on to a futuristic city with a retro / cyberpunk ambience. Test the mettle of your Metal Ranger against a huge armored slug, a gigantic spider, and other truly tough monster bosses.

Neon signs, halos around lights, metal ramps and walkways – add to these the synthwave soundtrack and lots of good old side-scrolling action, and you will get that special feel of the golden era of video games, amusement arcades, and VHS tapes.

It's like budget Master Chief got thrown into a 2D starship troopers shooter! Super awesome game which has a lot of potential. The controls could use a little fine tuning as well. Overall, I've wasted time on worse games. Will definitely scratch the starship troopers itch. Update: the ads are completely out of control. I understand the need to have some ads for revenue, but this is ridiculous. Its almost unplayable with forced ads EVERY SINGLE LEVEL! I want to like this game, but the ads kill it

Its very simple, but beautiful to look at, in particular the smooth animations. The different guns you can buy using in-game currency are pretty cool too. They sound, look and shoot as they should, or as one might think they should (I've never fired a laser rifle🤔).

This is a very good arcade game, I love the arcade shooting, the music is really good, and the grinding for all your resources I think is a good length. One thing I think could be really cool is story maybe? At starts and ends of a level, the least you can do is put a card that you can read for lore. I personally think it could add some more fun depth to the game, and hopefully wouldn't be hard to do at all really.
