I will definitely be picking this one up on both Switch and ps5 to show support. This isn't one of those games i grew up playing but when i discovered it on mame years ago it became a firm favourite of mine. I've been hoping this would get the archive treatment. Now all that's left from the non licensed titles is Violent Storm. Hopefully that gets released soon.
Wow! Talk about a game I haven't played in years TFK. I remember when I was 10 years old at a local arcade playing it was a friend at the time. Amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us bro. It made my day. 8^) Anthony..
I’ll get it, love filling out my library with classic beat em ups. Disappointed about the difficulty, but oh well, an easy 1cc is a fine enough notch on the belt.
This is so amazing. If they make another great effort like this with Violent Storm that will be great. Do NOT remake this. Don't. Night Slashers is a game that only by looking at how they butchered it, I and many like me, will never buy that.
Got plenty of the hamster games on sale, the beat em ups are rare but this is by far the most arcade I've seen, makes me wonder what will be next? Perhaps xmen?
Apart from the U.S. and Japan versions, the European version is also included. If I remember this right, that version keeps the numeric lifebar from the U.S. but removes the boss rush in stage 5.
Thanks a lot Ricardo👍. Metamorphic Force is fantastic Beat’Em Up, in my most favourite, arcade style. Sad, that there are still no sequel, or at least remake, of this wonderful game. Why devs, of recently released remake of Night Slashers, didn’t choose this project, for remaking? They are both from 1993, by the way and both from arcade machines. But Metamorphic Force much more deserving of a rework, in my humble opinion.
never played it but it is one more reason to pick it up, i love these games and i must purchase, maybe on both ps5 and switch in hopes more of these games see the light of day.
This one, Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, Violent Storm, Zero Team 2000 and Sengoku 2 will always be my top. Love this game but in my opinion theres no better beat em up than Violent Storm, even the modern ones including SOR4 pale in comparison. Can you one day talk about the SpikeOut series from sega? Probably thats how the new 3d streets of rage will play.
cool game but poor move set, just like the Ninja Turtle games and Xmen this is another "One And Done" from Konami, wish it had at least as many moves as Violent Storm (heavy attack by pressing Up + Attack, or Dash/Slide by pressing down + Jump) and I hope Viloent Storm gets a Hamster Arcade Archive port
That's Konami beat em ups, they rate rarely had characters with multiple moves, however these games are far more replayable that most people think. Always aim for 1cc.
@@franciscor390 some people like easier game so they can 1cc them regardless of the gameplay, but what makes games even more replayable, are rich move sets that allow you to do more than just mashing the attack button. And I am not talking just about the lack of haduken/shoryuken moves, dash attacks, and multiple specials (offensive, defensive etc) I'm talking about basic but different combos based on what direction you're holding when performing the x4 attack, jump-down attacks that don't knock down enemies, or even down + jump for a slide, throw attacks in both directions or even different throws if your enemy is looking forward or backward, the likes of SoR1, The original final Fight, Team Zero, and even Violent Storm are way more replayable for having just a tiny bit more than a mash button and desperation attack
Thanks again for these reviews. I never played in the arcade. It like something good enough to have as a xmen replacement as we won't be getting that soon it seems. I need Marvel to get on that
Haven't played this, but I've been interested in it since I first found out about it due to it's developer and because it looked like a better Altered Beast. Though I did not know it was about as easy as Turtles in Time, and the character variety being smaller when the fighters turn into their animal forms is a let-down. Still, I figure I can pay the 8 bucks even if it's a short one just to see what it's finally like, even though I think it's a little funny that it's the second beat-em-up games where Greek gods can give out Animorph powers for no explained reason. I guess the Japanese creators read those myths of Greek gods transforming unlucky people into whatever they wanted and figured letting warriors turn into buff bear-men made sense.

Hideki Kamiya just got this for his Switch so it’s gotta be good. I’m definitely interested in checking this out.
That's amazing. No wonder Kamiya loves producing spectacle fighters, it's practically in his DNA.
I love this one, the ost and the graphics. And it's fun to just replay it from time to time.
This is so amazing.
If they make another great effort like this with Violent Storm that will be great.
Do NOT remake this. Don't. Night Slashers is a game that only by looking at how they butchered it, I and many like me, will never buy that.
Will be picking this up tommorow. Can't wait for Violent Storm and hope someday they give us X-men and other licenced Ips for a slightly higher price.

I already have it on my emulator. It is a very good game.
One of my fave games!!!!

that's right Metamorphic force was way more popular than nightslashers back in the days, still don't get why they didn't choose this game🤷♂

@@mondealenvers8657 Yeah i would disagree with that, those are some truly great games that stand out because of the deeper mechanics.
@@franciscor390 what is deep about the mechanics of Metamorphic Force ?
@@mondealenvers8657 auto correct messed up my text i meant to write "wouldn't" meaning i actually agree.
Thanks again for these reviews. I never played in the arcade. It like something good enough to have as a xmen replacement as we won't be getting that soon it seems. I need Marvel to get on that
I just tried to find it on switch but I could not.
It will be available in a couple of hours or so.
@@beatemupthanks
It's a good one, but not as good as violent storm and vendetta
Not fair comparing it to some of the best beat 'em ups ever!!!😅

Think I'll pass. Thinks for the vid, FK.
Is it on pS5
I guess it's only on ps4. Not sure if you can get it on ps5.
@@beatemup Thanks 👍🏽
