Metal Stoker for PCE


Image: MobyGames

Metal Stoker

Stoke that metal


Genre: shooter - vertical

Publisher: Face

Year: 1991

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Top down free roaming shooter with strafe and five weapons. One is useless but the others are fun. My main complaint is that selecting weapons is done on the Pause menu. Difficult game but lots of fun. Novel anyway.


Level Design Score: 5

Level Design Notes:

Very long stages with 4 or 5 shorter segments. The door opens when you kill all enemies and/or remove all barriers. Every area feels unique. Gotta the gameplay like a glove.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Not much personality, although the weird voice samples give it a techno organic vibe.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Drab colors and underwhelming pixel art. Looks like an early Genesis game.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Eclectic music is almost so bad it's good. Weird sound effects, including voice samples out of nowhere.


Overall Score: 78

Review ID: 8083
