Until recently it protected the Earth but as you may have guessed something went wrong and now its ultimate weapon: a huge laser cannon is aimed at the Earth ready to obliterate us all. It concerns a technologically transformed Pluto that is home to a devastating weapons platform capable of destroying the entire solar system named amusingly……”GigaDeath”. The game: The plot of the game like many games of the time is fairly simple. I’m going to take a look at the latter because I was fortunate enough to snag the CE at the price of the standard one.

They called the game a "tour de force" from a technical perspective, pushing the NES to its technical limits by using simulated parallax scrolling and advanced animation techniques. IGN ranked Metal Storm as #46 on their top 100 NES games list. They blamed low distribution for its lack in popularity, and referenced themselves as the best marketing support the game ever received.
