It’s lackluster mobile port that removed some content and does not feel worth the price tag on the Switch. Beyond that though there really isn’t anything that makes the title stand out.
So where does this leave Mecha Storm at the end of the day? In truth, the core experience functions as intended and is enjoyable to a degree. It’s even more of a shame when you consider that this release lacks the multiplayer mode form the mobile version which would of been a nice addition to have on the Switch. Though work has clearly been done to the title it is a shame that beyond the few good elements such as the okay visuals and performance, that not much else has been done to give this title a console feel. This can be found in the design, gameplay, menu screens and pretty much everywhere. You see the trouble with Mecha Storm is that even though it is now on the Switch, it still feels very much like a mobile title. You will see this same city far to many times. This creates plenty of replay value as you hunt down and level up all the parts but due to the lack of variety in environments, enemies and bosses, even this become very repetitive. One of the main focuses within the title is collection and building mechs by means of numerous parts and weapons. Performance is another strong point of the title and though the visuals are not ground breaking they do hold up. Thankfully controls hold up well and are responsive with a fairly easy to master layout. Even if you are controlling a squad of three powerful mechs it never really feels like you are which is a shame to say the least. All of this allow for players to mix up the combat but it quickly become repetitive and feel flat. Players will take control from a third-person perspective and make use of melee weapons, a range of different guns and special abilities. These missions will be played out by taking direct control of a squad of three mechs which you can swap between freely to defeat countless enemies and bosses. This tightly designed action platformer puts the player in the role of the Storm Gunner M-308 Custom. The NES game Metal Storm, released late in the system's life, is a true cult classic.
It does however serve as the backbone to a campaign that will see you battle across the Galaxy in over 50 missions. This figure was kindly provided by David White, and will be available to preorder on his Mecha Zone store starting July 30th, 2015 at 9:00 PM. The story that the title delivers is on the serious side and might capture the attention of some players, but isn’t anything to write home about. Each equipped with armies of powerful mechs, it falls down to the player to be the deciding force in who will be the winning side. The set up for Mecha Storm is that a war between the two largest factions in our Galaxy has broken out after years of each side preparing for it. Sadly, the move from mobile devices to console has not gone without problems. So with the release of Mecha Storm on the Nintendo Switch you would hope that this holds up. Having giant powerful suits of metal battling it out with endless varieties of weapons and abilities is sure to get anyone interested in a title. The regular version will run you $44.99 and the collector’s edition will cost $69.99.It might be fair to say that one of the more interesting genres is that of mechs. I’ll be picking up the SE when it goes live in just a few hours from now so I can be cool. There’s also a deluxe version, which has a bunch of extra stuff like a collector’s box, retail box, prints, poster, pin, certificate, colored manual, figurine, and only 3000 copies will be made. There’s a standard edition which has a Twilight Black Metal Storm cart and a collectible retail box with a poster and manual. For the first time ever, the Japanese version of the classic NES® game Metal Storm has been translated to English along with the white mech, cinematic introduction to the plot, and higher difficulty level options. But now a very specific demographic will be very happy. Of course, Metal Storm was never popular here in the States. The controls are buttery-smooth, the graphics are great, and the sound is good. I love that, like Kid Icarus, Metal Storm plays with the fourth wall a bit by letting me switch gravity and drop off the screen back through the top or vice-versa. I’ve never played this game before, but it’s always one that old-school gamers of mine recommend. The gravity-switching is well-implemented, and, though inexplicable, doesn’t feel like a gimmick.
The game will also have the white mech, new cinematics, and even harder difficulties. They took the original JP release and translated it to English. Metal Storm is a game that was released for the NES. The game will be a “limited run” meaning that you’ll only have a certain time frame to snag it.
