About

Metal Dragon is a 16-bit side-scrolling action game where you play as the titular hero on a mission to rescue the president's daughter. Instead of sneaking around, the game focuses on straightforward gunfights with a variety of weapons. It's designed for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, released in December 2021, capturing the classic 16-bit era with pixel-art visuals and fast-paced gameplay. The game emphasizes rapid combat and weapon variety, letting players switch between pistols, shotguns, and more. While the difficulty can be tough, it adds to the retro appeal. Its straightforward approach to action and throwback style have earned it a niche following, though it's less known compared to other titles on the platform.
