If you’re up for a “Contra”-inspired shooting frenzy, then Retroware has got you covered. They have released a new demo and trailer for their upcoming 2D run-and-gun game called “Iron Meat”. Iron Meat is heavily inspired by Contra and features impressive 2D pixel art sprites and backgrounds. Additionally, the trailer showcases cartoon animations that we presume are part of the narrative.
Apart from the Iron Meat trailer, a demo has also been added to the game’s Steam page. We haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but be sure to do so yourself. The game is set to be released on October 17, 2023.
This is what the publisher has to say about the game:
“Step onto the battlefield against The Meat–an all-consuming entity propagated by the notorious xenobiologist Yuri Markov. While his motives are yet unclear, our intelligence has confirmed The Meat’s presence at three sectors: an infested runaway Train, a burning City, and a new sector–the Forest zone!
As you progress through these levels, be on the lookout for powerful weapons and passive abilities that can help you turn the tide against our ravenous enemies.
Stay alert, though! We are aware of several “boss” class hostiles positioned at the end of each sector. We’ve already lost multiple battalions to these dangerous targets, so now it’s up to YOU! Neutralize these threats to prepare for our larger plan of attack coming soon!”
