If you’re looking for a fast-paced, action-packed run-and-gun shooter, Metal Suits Review delivers an electrifying experience with tight shooting mechanics, explosive level design, and fluid movement. Combining the precision shooting of Mega Man with the bombastic chaos of Broforce, the game keeps the action intense, rewarding players with breakable environments, powerful suit upgrades, and non-stop combat. With a bouncy, high-energy soundtrack fueling the gameplay, Metal Suits Review hooks players from the start and ramps up the challenge with big boss fights, dynamic level design, and strategic suit management. But does it fully live up to its potential? Let’s dive in and see what makes this high-octane 2D shooter stand out—and where it might hold back.

Metal Suits Review Pros:

Decent pixel art graphics.
1.41GB download size.
Steam achievements.
Full controller support.
Graphics settings – v-sync.
Controller settings – you can remap the controls.
3 save slots.
Four game difficulties – Easy, Normal, Hard, and hell.
2D run and gun gameplay.
The first level is a tutorial.
In-game cutscenes and interactions.
Tight responsive controls.
You can wall jump/climb, melee, ranged attacks, and special moves.
Find and equip the suit parts to unlock new weapons and abilities.
The whole game moves at a good pace, for me, it’s like a Mega Man in its speed and accessibility.
Animated backdrops.
End-of-stage breakdown of score, kills, collectibles, and any bonuses.
Constant save points.
Many Breakable elements within the stages, blocks are the main ones, and they can hide secrets or open up alternate routes.
Space map level select. You can replay stages and see your progress within them.
A bouncy, high-octane soundtrack.
Combo counter that builds with kills and goes down when you don’t kill anyone.
Pick up health bar extensions.
When you pick up a new suit type, you get a cool splash screen of the suit and all the stats for it, like battery, power, attack speed, etc.
Highly playable and very fun to play,y and is a great example of a run-and-gun type game.
Each stage will have a set number of levels within it.
Suits will have a battery bar and will go down as you use it, and once it’s run out, it’s gone.
The camera can be panned a bit up and down.
I found the game plays a lot like Mega Man and Broforce as it matches the solid gameplay shooting of Mega Man, but the bombastic explosions and level destruction of Broforce, but it’s more controlled.
Instant respawning.
Such a great game to get into, it’s all very cohesive and fun.
Elements within the level mix it up like explosive barrels, pushing blocks onto enemies, and hitting drills that will then fire out and explode.
The level design gets better over time and starts adding more depth and slight puzzles.
Big boss fights at the end of a stage.

Metal Suits Review Cons:

No actual graphics settings.
Doesn’t offer any accessibility options.
Not all cutscenes and interactions can be skipped.
The game has no voice work.
Early on, you have to just collect every suit pickup so you can learn what they are.
You can only shoot left and right.
At times, it felt like I had the wrong suit for the job, and it was forced on me.
Dodging bullets can be tricky.
