Iron Meat | Retro Shooting Perfection
107Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review. In this episode I check out one of the best Retro Shooters that ive completed, with Iron Meat on the PlayStation and Steam.
This game was developed and published by Retroware, the talented development team behind another amazing Retro Platformer Prison City.
Iron Meat is a love letter to the 16 Bit Era, taking inspiration from classic action shooters like Contra and Turrican.
The game takes place in an alternate future, where illegal experiments taking place on the surface of the moon have resulted in the birth of the Meat, an deadly biological weapon, which swiftly infects its creator, Professor Yuri Markov, and spreads accross the moon. The infected Professor has taken control of a Teleporter to earth, unleashing an army of monsters, that are a twisted fusion of flesh and machine. The player controls Vadim, a soldier with the impossible mission to destroy the Meats hordes and liberate the earth.
Iron meat takes the formula that Retroware established in their previous title Prison City and improves upon it in every way, creating an extremely streamlined shooter boasting a unique body horror theme, colourful graphics and some sharp controls. Players are challenged to complete the games 9 Levels with unique environments such as a forest, a moving train and the surface of the moon. However the best feature is the games cooparative mode, allowing two players to play the entire campaign
together.
While Iron Meat is a little light on additional features, it is still one of the finest retro shooters on the Playstation and Steam. I highly recommend this to fellow retro platformer fans who enjoyed Retrowares other titles, and fans of 16 bit retro shooters.

================================================
Iron Meat is a fast-paced, run-and-gun shooter that immerses players in a world overrun by The Meat--an all-consuming interdimensional biomass. With a mix of classic arcade and console mechanics, players will battle against mutated victims and machines, dodge bullet barrages, and crush bosses in nine levels of gore-ific brutality. As Vadim, fight back against The Meat and stop the terrors spawned from scientist Yuri Markov's experiments on the Moon.
MULTI-PHASE BOSS FIGHTS
Iron Meat pays homage to classic run-and-gun titles from the past, with intense boss fights fixed into multiple phases. With three difficulty settings to choose from, players can put their skills to the test, where a higher difficulty is rewarded with an even more challenging boss battle.
MULTIPLAYER COUCH CO-OP
Who says you have to take on The Meat invasion alone? With 2-player couch co-op, you can grab a buddy to leave a trail of bloody, Meat-infected corpses together! It's double the firepower, double the carnage, and double the MEAT!
OVER 30 UNLOCKABLE SKINS
You don't have to be a soldier to fight against The Meat. Hell, you don't even have to be a HUMAN to do so! With over 30 unlockable skins to choose from, players can customize their character the way they want. Each skin comes with interchangeable parts, allowing for greater customization with mixing and matching. Want a shark head on a robot body with dinosaur feet? DONE. Maybe a half human, half doggo? YOU BET! Or how about a cowboy with a tail and demon wings? Hmm...YEP!
