This game is a bag of mixed nuts — you got Metal Gear Solid codec (Iroquois? I see what you did there), gameplay Contra/Metal Slug and the plot is suspiciously similar to Escape from New York!
This game certainly has potential in hitting that "retro" feel.
Hah, Detroit Penal Project. Great name for a band. Loving the gameplay and retro style plot but if there is no president to rescue why go in at all? Why not just firebomb Detroit?
This is clearly based off the movie escape from New York, which I will remind everyone has the literal original Snake. It’s not based off metal gear. Metal gear is based off escape from New York.
If part of the programming of this game was the fact that it looks like it's being played on an actual TV set, along with the reflection of the text right on the screen, then I am SEVERELY impressed IN ADDITION TO how faithful of a 90's 8-bit game this is! This is a complete winner!
For some reason the noise the text made as it was being "typed" or as it appeared on screen was Hella annoying. I know thats nit-picking. But I had to skip the intro it was making my head hurt. With music behind it and then the text it wasn't so bad. But just the text sound alone. Anyway other than that this looks fantastic. I've recently been streaming Symphony of the Night ( twitch.tv/spacegeistski ) so I've had a new found resurgence of retro love and want to go back and play more 8 bit games. This game is definitely going on that list as a way to mix the past and the present. Great recommendation ABG as usual.
Like others have said: Lots of Shatterhand and Powerblade here. Not a damn thing wrong with that! The person making this is quite an amazing indie game dev. The CV2 remake they've been working on is absolutely amazing. Awesome seein Simon make a cameo here too lol
This game looks super sweet, but it has severe Metal Gear-vibes, especially with the use of radio transmitters and heavy text. Sooo much plot for a powerblade metroidvania spinoff; less text, more shooty! The music is quite nice, for all that exploration…
Power Blade, Zen Intergalactic Ninja and Contra – in one game. Welldone devs, arcade, oldskul Shoot'Em Ups/Run'N'Guns/Platformers of 1980's, 1990's rules forever. Thanks a lot.
NES Batman + Shatterhand + Powerblade + a little twist of Contra. Put it in a blender. Serve it to the fans with a straw and a controller. Count me in!!!!
8:02 "A rocket hit me in the ass."
Some projects/assets stolen straight out from Batman game.
This is like Shatterhands meets Powerblade 😀 I love it!
power blazer clone
That's so cool!!!!!
So this is basically escape from New York City but in Detroit
Dead on guys…dead on
wow, you missed the mark on the Megaman comparison by a country mile, this is game is clearly a love letter to Shatterhand and Powerblade!!
POWERBLADE and Shatterhand inspired! Even some Batman How NEStalgic))
it's Shatterhand+Power Blade inspired. I see it at first glance. Nothing of Contra+Megaman. Play harder ABGAMER
Ah retro games…nothing like it.
This looks like Power Blade 2 on NES which was already like Contra and MegaMan with shooting and upgrades. Still pretty cool.

Holy crap! You can't get much more retro than this. By the way, shouldn't the main character's name be "Snake Plissken", rather than "Hal"?

Solbrain copy. But OK!
I agree its definitely inspired by megaman and contra but i also see clear hints of Power blade as well 😀
This is straight up Shaterhand ripp-off.
This game is clearly inspired by Power Blade
👍👍
Holy cow this is just like Shatterhand. Oh man how I've wanted a game like that again

Shatterhand + Batman + Power Blade = ShatterBat PowerHand
Iroquois Simon being socially awkward af
"Set in Destroit Prison City"
Also known as DETROIT AMIRIGHT!??!?!
does anyone ever heard of 8 bit game call gun-dec? same kind of action..best game ever during my childhood.. dang, i'm old..
Great bgm also.
Love it!
I wonder why this game's name isn't Shatterhand Returns.
This shit looks absolutely amazing.

I hope there's Android version for this
Nice. Even has that nes flavor music.

Powerblade 4?? No wai!!1
It's not contra definitely, but more Batman (nes) / Shatterhand / PowerBlade / Blue Shadow (Shadow of the Ninja) game. But looks awesome!
Music 10/10 👍
Absolutely LOVED it.

So the game starts with Detroit going to sh-t; of-course it had to be Detroit, can't have Detroit at all
If it's ever completed as a full game I will definitely buy it.
This def is more inspired by Shatterhand
where to buy this game? it's not on steam
The gameplay reminds me street fighter 2010 on NES 🤣🤣🤣
Programancer is a retro genius!
