Demon Front (also, pinyin: Móyù Zhànxiàn) is an action game that is quite inspired by (some would say that it COPIES things like animations and the like) Metal Slug...but while the game definitely has the same beautiful animations of a MS game, it does so at a framerate that is not exactly typical of MS, and the game itself does possess some differences. Before getting to that, let me sum things up right now by saying the game is GORGEOUS and sounds decent and is a load of fun, that also has co-op play...there, that saves me some time, lol...

IGS has a bit of an odd history, so even though they had some decent games, they were never quite so good to where I would think they would have something like...THIS, in their history (published or otherwise). The game has a full story on its website that is as follows:

"20 light years beyond the earth, there's a planet called Andres, where resided by folks of peace, lived civilized and harmony…. except for the night when the red moon eclipse occurs. There's a myth that describes the mutation to demon of Andres people, every three years when the moon's eclipse happens.

Unexpected for unknown reason, a solar eclipse happened in A.C. 2016, lasted for more than 3 months. All leaving creatures were exposed to this dark red light; they began to mutate from appearance to character. There was no escape none could avoid that. Those who survived were suffering from mutants' tortures, which turned the planet to living hell. Only few had escaped from their fates and lived in exile. One of them was Maya, who poses unusual power, was guided by a strange force to the valley…

where he met Dr. J from planet LOUKAI. Dr. J looked different from other scientist, but he had shown with wisdom and courage that no doubt he was recognized as genius. With him were Jake and Sara, who emergency landed with a space shuttle from Earth.

Facing such horrible situation Jake and Sara made the proposition to join their forces and overthrow evils that dominated this planet. Maya was determined to recover his homeland, in order to set his people free. Suddenly Dr. J took powerful weapons out of his arsenal and endless supplies. With all these resources four of them felt for the very first time the light of hope at the horizon."

You can select some of the stages at the start, stages have different paths, enemies have different properties, and you have various different weapons...as well as each hero/heroine having a different "familiar" (let's go with that) that acts as a charge attack and can also become a shield for you. On top of this, you can "float" in the air with wings, which WILL come in handy...there are no "Metal Slug" type things in the game as far as vehicles, lol...it's a great game overall.
