Metal Storm is an action game released by Hiroshi Futami in 1991. The game takes place in the distant future of 2501 with events Attack between stars in the vast universe. Aliens are constantly appearing in many planets to explore where laser weapons are produced. When they find this weapons factory on a planet, they will change the process of creating it to cause a major explosion. This type of laser weapon built on Pluto has many problems and is facing the risk of destroying all the planets in the solar system. In the face of such a dangerous situation, the M-308 gunner will begin the journey to infiltrate the laser production base to destroy the parts that make it prevent the explosion.
Players will control the gunner character M-308 to start the journey to the production base at Pluto. He will have to go through six stages with many attacking enemies in order to complete his mission. In the first stage of the game, he will move in a basement with enemies who are aliens. Gunners are provided with a special suit to withstand pressure from the environment. A gun is the only weapon equipped for him in this period. Players will control their character moving up, left, right to attack the enemy. The enemy is destroyed after two bullets fired from the gunner. In addition, he can move on the walls to attack enemies more easily.
A huge device is the only enemy of the player at the next stage. It will continually drop bullets to attack the gunner. It takes him a long time to bring the enemy’s health to zero. When attacked by bullets from the device, the player will return to the beginning of the stage to restart the game. Constantly jumping on the walls helps him dodge the pursuit from the enemy.
Gunner will be moved to the next stage with complex terrain. With the fourth stage, he was taken to an enclosed room with attacks from four tanks. The speed of the game is pushed up faster during this period. In the last two stages, the player must move very flexibly if he wants to complete his mission. The ultimate enemy that the player must destroy is a super robot with the ability to shoot lasers. After destroying this super robot, the gunner must hurry to the last room where the laser is produced to destroy them.
