The options are limited at first, but it doesn’t take long to have several options available.
The most prominent song I was able to tune into while playing had an upbeat, jazzy sound to it. Sound DesignĪs of my review, I haven’t been able to find a soundtrack for MG, so I tried listening for the music as I was playing. Backgrounds also benefit from having some detail and give a good illusion of depth. The artstyle doesn’t look quite as good compared to the gameplay footage, but it doesn’t look too out of place. Every so often, there’ll be a very short cutscene, typically involving the goose transitioning from one area to the next.
This makes everything in the game look crisp and clean. I find myself really enjoying pixel graphics when the individual bits are so small that it gives an illusion of smooth edges. I’m pretty sure the ones throwing bottles would be willing to do that for you instead of me. After beating the game 100%, I really expected the other shoe to drop and some explanation as to what was going on behind the scenes, but it never happened. However, with a consistent threat you keep fighting against, and the way you topple a tyrant relieved by his defeat, it’s as if the developers wanted to include a story arc, but didn’t get around to it. There’s no opening cutscene or background information given after all, and randomly jetting about the galaxy would make sense for a bounty hunter and a game that could be absent of a plot. I’m uncertain whether MG is supposed to have a story or not. You can activate auto-fire from the menu, but it’s far slower than mashing the button yourself. A simple thing I dislike about the controls is how heavily you’ll need to mash the fire button, as opposed to being able to hold it down for constant fire. When I stayed too close to enemies and kept punching them, I’d invariably just get hurt. The only useful time to use your melee strikes is to punch away the shields, as they stand up to bullets amazingly well. Attacking comes from ‘X’ to fire your primary weapon, which switches to melee if you’re up close, and ‘Y’ fires a secondary, which has a cap of 3-5 uses. Your other movement options comes from ‘A’ to jump, while ‘B’ activates a very useful dodge roll. Movement is controlled with the ‘L joystick,’ which can also aim your shots in 4 cardinal directions. MG can be played either with the keyboard or controller, and I found it works quite well with a controller. I’m going to rain something down on my enemies alright. There is a 2 player option available, and although I can’t try it for myself at this time, a human controlled ally would assuredly do far more for you. An ally you break out of confinement will tag along and provide some assistance, but it usually doesn’t amount to much. Although most stages have an objective like this, it doesn’t actually change the gameplay, as saving them happens intermittently as you clear the stage.

You start the game off by going on a rescue mission, breaking into a prison in order to free a piggy pal of yours. The mission hasn’t even started yet, but I guess there’s time for a quick snack.Īlthough a run and gun game, the majority of MG lacks platforming, as you’ll use your movement to dodge attacks, instead of jumping across pits. This is great against bosses, although not every stage ends with a boss fight, which can be a bit startling since it feels a bit empty or sudden without overcoming that barrier. When full, you can activate it to enter a berserker state where you are invulnerable and your weapons are even more devastating. A key difference is the Mighty Meter, which builds up from damaging enemies. The homing missiles can take a while to lock on and hit their target, so I didn’t like them much. Flying the jet and jumping around in the mecha was enjoyable, and I love how destructive the shotgun is. If you get close to enemies you’ll switch to melee attacks, there’s weapon-heavy vehicles to pilot for as long as you’re able to keep them alive, and you’ll occasionally get weapon drops that’ll make your infinite ammo pistol green with envy. Comparing MG to Metal Slug is pretty apt, as it has many similarities.
