Damn I've never seen this before. IGS is from Taiwan and they also made the excellent beat 'em series Knights of Valour and Oriental Legend, as well as the SFIII-esque Martial Masters. Everything I've seen from them is top quality and I have to assume that what kept them from gaining a foothold in the US was a lack of proper resources/channels and maybe the fact that when they really started hitting their stride, US arcades where already well into their decline.
I can remember dislike this game SO MUCH because I was so afraid I wouldn't see another Metal Slug game again... now, I see it is pretty good and I shoul've played it more back then
Everyone is commenting that this game is a knock-off/clone of Metal Slug. Which nonsense because... -A) There is clear effort put into the game's designs as opposed to a knock-off which is made with as little effort as possible . -B) Demon Front has its own mechanics* and outright lacks the most important part of Metal Slug games: The Metal Slugs/Vehicles. -C) Both games are thematically different from one another. MS: Realistic War Spoof; DF: Steampunk Sci-fi. *The game has a leveling system, it can be seen at the top right; Yellow(hearts) is pet level and blue(skulls) is player level. Higher player levels mean better shots from your gun. Pistol bullet changes can be seen here, 2:51 and here 10:52 (it has a little face).
Huh! I wasn't even aware that there was a half-decent Metal Slug knockoff! I somehow missed this one. Most of the Metal Slug clones just look terrible art-wise, even on the rare chance they manage to nail the gameplay. The only art I don't care for in this game, are the illustrations of the main characters... which are hideous. :P
Was just about to include this game in an upcoming video on obscure Run N Guns and came across your gameplay. Fantastic run and it helped me with some strategy for playing through it myself. So thank you. Not sure if you will see this comment in time or not, but if you do, I would love to showcase some of your gameplay and link to your longplay here in the segment. It adds some good variety to what I have. If so let me know. If not, no worries, I enjoyed your playthrough.
You can tell there was a vision change by the diff between grim and brightness of background vs enemies/protagonist. I was iffy at first, I thought it was a cheap metal slug clone, but after watching it a bit, it has it owns charm. Neat.
Most interesting thing about this game is definitely the final boss after you gather all five relics. Depending which character you pick, the final boss is a monstrous nightmare version of your familiar.

This game looks awesome. Great job, IGS! SNK would be proud! (If they weren't so busy getting their lawyers to write cease-and-desist letters.)

Seems Fun! But, Somehow this seems a bit metallic, and kinda' sluggish!
*standing ovation* Raw Cat Lawn Chair!

YOOOOO I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME LIKE FOREVER
SO HAPPY I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER 16YRS😢

This game used to be like an internet legend in the mid 2000's, there were few screenshots floating around and no rom site had it.
I have this game as one of my many Emulators part of my Modified Original XBOX game system.
50% Metal. 50% Slug.

There was also a Nintendo DS game named Commando: Steel Disaster, it was pretty decent
I played this on Switch, but the character doesn't consume the claw item in the first stage cave, is that normal?
I have never seen this. Really cool.
Can you play it on a neo geo?
Metal Slug with a different coat of paint
This needs to come to consoles!
Well it's officially on the Switch via the IGS Classic Arcade Collection
@@jasonmartinez5116 Didn't know that, thanks!
Apart from the final boss, what changes at the ending?
where can i get this?
Did Metal Slug folks work on this game, or was this a knock-off? But good playthrough though.
IGS is a Taiwan company.
I even think that MS6 clones some monsters in this game.
The year is 2082.
Yokai have overrun Japan 🗾
Your mission should you choose to accept it...
I love Not Metal Slug
UI looks similar to Cave Story
Someone please put this on mobile this one mystified me as a kid
IGSって韓国でしたっけ？
メタスラライクにしたって、あれと同様に全てドットグラフィックで作るあたり当時の開発の熱量って凄かったんでしょうね
Scopiazzatura di Metal Slug 🤣🤣
This game was made in Taiwan..
The ending makes 0 sense.
Metal Slug copy
As a 90's arcade lover and metal slug fan I've seen this game for the first time I saw it through youtube recommendations thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
you cant even write *'90s* either

Metal Slug clone, like it!

When you can tell it’s a Metal Slug clone from the thumbnail!! Good job though!! Looks like a good one.
This game needs more attention,it's very well done.
My favorite childhood......
I used to played it at the stationary shop.
Metalo Eslugo, by Espilvergo.
The best Metal Slug clone and the only one that comes anywhere near the original in matters of pixel art
This game seems very original to me. I didn't see anything that reminds me of anything else...😂😂😂

lol
Is It a metal slug's copy?
Gun Force Z/Geo Storm Z
1:02 Demon Front!
Il n y a pas que NEO GEO qui savent faire se genre de jeu, la preuve ...
I only see this as metal slug not the other title
What arcade system was this for? It's like a crossover of spin masters & metal slug.
The game was designed for IGS' own PolyGame Master arcade hardware: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PolyGame_Master
@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays good to know. Now I need know which emulator uses this platform.
good
Looks like a metal slug clone
Qual é o emulador??
yesssssssssssssssss
How to get good ending?
It's a decent gane but sounds are really weak. All musics are forgettable.
This is awesome. This actually looks better than metal slug. The game play is pretty decent too.
Wow, this actually is in Metal Slug level artwise!
An absolute Metal Slug rip-off!!
Juegazo, lo necesitamos en Nintendo Switch.
There is a way to get it legally? I mean, where I can buy this game?
