METAMORPHIC FORCE - RETRO ARCADE REVIEW
Ойындар
My review of the 1993 arcade game, Metamorphic Force (JP version). This game is a straight up awesome and I had such a fun time playing it. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
NOTE: I messed up in this vid and thought Metamorphic Force used the same engine as Mystic Warriors, where in reality, that is not the case at all, this is via Wikipedia:
"The game mechanics are similar to those of Konami's earlier arcade hit, X-Men, and runs on the same hardware as their ninja-themed game, Mystic Warriors."
Metamorphic Force Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamor...

the game letting you jump the boss is wild, the baby maker grab is even more wild

I love this game! I used to play it in the arcades back in the day. It’s very fun specially with a second player. I then forgot it’s name and lost track of it for a couple of years but once I remembered what it was called I tracked it down on an emulator to relive it all over again. It’s still just as fun as it was back in the day.

Succubus boss was the hardest fight, because you can't charge her like you can the other bosses. This game was TOO smooth. Thanks for reviewing it. You should DEFINITELY check out Violent Storm, because like B-Rap boys, the stages ALL have lyrics in their music, intricate bosses and hilarity all ensue in a pretty cool and challenging beat'em up. Metamorphic Force has great animation, but it just seems a bit too easy.
