About Iron Meat
✦ AI summary
Blast through nine levels of grotesque arcade action as Vadim fighting an interdimensional biomass called The Meat, with intense multi-phase boss battles and plenty of gruesome upgrades. Squad up with a friend in couch co-op or customize your fighter with over 30 unlockable skins featuring wild part combinations like shark heads and demon wings.
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.
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.
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!
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!

I really enjoyed the game, revived my childhood memories! I wish it was longer, like at least 20 levels or more, even if it meant compromising on visuals! Overall loved it!

Like most guys my age, I love Contra. I remember being in sixth grade and playing it with my brother, who was in high school at the time. A few years later I used to play Contra III: Alien Wars on the SNES with my best friend. So I've played quite a few Contra-inspired retro games over the years, some of which have been pretty cool, like Terminator 2D: No Fate, and many which have been underwhelming. Iron Meat is the first Contra homage I've ever played that made me feel the same thing I felt playing the original Contra or Contra III. No complex story, no complicated game mechanics, no nonsense. It doesn't waste your time, you just shoot everything and you can beat it in less than two hours and walk away feeling like you saved the world from a gross techno-organic alien invasion like it's 1988.
Great game with fantastic artwork and an amazing soundtrack. It instantly made me think of Gundroid, another awesome Contra-style Game you should definitely check out. This game is a lot of fun and I can easily recommend it. The gameplay could use a bit more variety and stronger pacing (like Gundroid does) and it's also fairly easy and on the short side. I'd love to see the developers collaborate on a new project one day and combine the strengths of both games. That could be something really special.
Best run-and-gun I've played
Never were there a better ode to Contra. It's fun. It's hard. It can be unforgiving. Still, dive in and start gunnin' those mutants down.
