Metal Ranger is a 2D shooter that channels the nostalgic vibes of 1980s sci-fi action movies and games. In this game, you assume the role of a ranger outfitted in robust steel armor facing off against colossal alien mutant insects.

Armed with an array of deadly weapons, including an assault rifle, M134 Minigun machine gun, grenade launcher, laser gun, plasma gun, and flamethrower, you must complete missions to earn coins for armor and HP upgrades.

Embark on your adventure within the confines of a Martian colony's factory compound before venturing into ominous industrial underground vaults, navigating narrow metal walkways, and progressing to a futuristic city fused with a retro/cyberpunk atmosphere. Challenge the resilience of your Metal Ranger against formidable foes like a massive armored slug, colossal spider, and other imposing monster bosses.

Immerse yourself in the ambiance of neon signs, illuminated halos, metallic ramps, and walkways, complemented by a synthwave soundtrack. Coupled with classic side-scrolling action, Metal Ranger encapsulates the essence of the video game, arcade, and VHS tape era.

Essential Strategies

Familiarize Yourself with Controls: Understand the basic controls for movement, jumping, and shooting. Practice these controls to improve your reflexes during combat.

Weapon Management: Collect different weapons throughout the game. Each weapon has unique attributes; experiment to find which ones suit your playstyle best. Keep an eye on your ammunition count and use powerful weapons strategically, saving them for tougher enemies or bosses.

Utilize Cover: Use the environment to your advantage by taking cover behind obstacles to avoid enemy fire. This tactic is especially useful against ranged attackers.

Learn Enemy Patterns: Observe enemy movements and attack patterns. Understanding how they behave can help you dodge attacks and find openings for counterattacks.

Power-Ups and Items: Collect power-ups that can enhance your abilities temporarily, such as increased damage or invincibility. Use them wisely to turn the tide of battle.

- Modern shoot ‘em up platform gameplay

    The game is really good. You have smart enemies, cool weapons, and lots of options for which weapon to pick. But here's the thing – you never run out of bullets! There's no need to reload, which actually makes it kind of too easy. What if there were animations for reloading your gun? And maybe you could find ammo in crates scattered around. When your bullets are all gone, you could automatically switch to a pistol that never runs out of ammo. I know this may be asking a lot, but it would definitely make the game more challenging.

    I had a blast playing this game with a buddy. The graphics were awesome, and the gameplay was super smooth. The guns were top-notch, and the difficulty level was just right. All in all, it was a really great experience.

    This mobile game is amazing! It has a super fun concept that's easy to understand. You won't get bored playing it because it always keeps things fresh. If you love sidescroller shoot 'em ups, you've got to try this game out!

    What if we design a boss for the game that summons flying monsters but can't move around because it's stuck near four vents in a huge room? It would be challenging for players, but they could have to shoot something to stop its attacks. Another idea could be a boss where you have to shoot cages hanging above it to drop onto and defeat it. Sounds exciting, right?

    I saw the App Icon for this game and I just had a feeling it would be great. But wow, it's even better than I expected. The gameplay is super smooth and the animations are really nice. The controls are basic but offer a lot of depth. Being able to aim and pick when to shoot adds a whole new level of immersion. And on top of all that, there aren't a ton of annoying ads? Is this real life? This game is absolutely amazing.

    Oh, I had so much fun playing the game! It was full of action and the challenges kept getting tougher as I advanced. To make it even more exciting, you could add interactive elements like unlocking doors or activating power to use an elevator. Introducing a storyline would appeal to players who enjoy a narrative. Despite not being able to purchase the full version due to having no funds in my Google account, I really enjoyed the game. I plan on buying it later when I can.

    I really love playing 2D shooter and run & gun games, so I've tried almost all the games in this category. Let me tell you, this game is one of the best out there. I love how the developers keep working on it and adding new missions, items, enemies, and modes like challenges. Everything about the game, from the controls to the graphics and art style, is just perfect. Keep up the good work and keep making this game even better!

    Oh, the game is so exciting and full of action! I really hope you're still developing the next episode. I have some thoughts on it though. Right now, the aliens are a bit too predictable as they always come in large groups. How about adding levels where not every enemy needs to be shot right in front of you? Instead, maybe include stronger enemies that appear less frequently but can really catch you off guard if you're not careful, similar to those creatures hanging from the ceiling that require close attention. Keep up the great work!

    I rated it 3 stars as when I move backwards and shoot, I end up getting attacked from behind and get killed. It's difficult to aim at the flying insects since they come towards my back while I am shooting at the front while moving backwards. It is frustrating and I would appreciate if you could fix it because it will really help me.

    You know what would be awesome? If you didn't have to use a joystick to aim in the game. It's so tricky trying to make progress when you're moving forward slowly, then suddenly going backward, all while crossing your fingers that the joystick is facing the right way to shoot.
