Demon Front

About

Run-and-gun arcade action with a twist. Demon Front throws you into fast-paced combat where each of four characters brings a pet into battle. Use the shoot, jump, and shield buttons to send your companion attacking or blocking. Charging the shoot button lets your pet unleash a powerful stationary attack, while the shield button turns them into a protective barrier. Collect hearts from melee hits to boost defenses. The cast includes humans, a scientist, and an ape, but playstyles stay largely consistent across characters. The pet mechanics stand out, adding layers to basic shooter formulas. While the lack of vehicle segments and repetitive character kits might feel familiar, the focus on pet tactics keeps things engaging. Released in 2002, it holds up as a solid co-op or single-player romp for fans of straightforward action.
