    Iron Meat è un titolo che si ispira ai grandi classici dei run-and-gun e ne ripropone una versione il più fedele possibile, anche se con diversi tocchi che la rendono più moderna e accessibile ai giocatori attuali. Veloce, brutale e con una pixel art davvero ben fatta, il titolo non deluderà gli appassionati di questo genere. L’unica grossa pecca nella sua proposta ludica è la mancanza di un qualcosa che faccia rimanere i giocatori incollati allo schermo una volta finita la campagna principale, dato che al suo interno non è presente nessun extra.

    All in all, Iron Meat can be mentioned in the same breath as those classics of the run-and-gun genre that we are all familiar with. The challenge is real, learning boss patterns is vital, and moreover, it is just good, old-fashioned fun. Give it a blast; you won’t be disappointed.

    Iron Meat is an amazing Contra-like that does some things better than the game it is impersonating. I cannot recommend this title enough for fans of that style. It has a rocking soundtrack, outstanding visuals, and perfect controls. Now if you will excuse me, I have some more meat to grind.

    If you're a fan of run-and-gun shooters, Iron Meat is a must-have thanks to its responsive controls and excellently-designed stages. A genuine blast from beginning to end, it's just a shame there aren't more modes.

    I debated a bit on how to score Iron Meat and whether or not it surpassed the incredible Blazing Chrome. Ultimately, I decided it was just as good. Iron Meat is a challenging, gloriously gory, and fast-paced run ‘n gun adventure with a fun story and solid replay value. If you’re at all a fan of Contra, you absolutely need to pick this up later this month!
