Order of the Metal Glove

About

Order of the Metal Glove is a chaotic co-op shooter built for quick bursts of action. Play solo or team up with three friends to blast through levels crawling with spider-like machines and armored foes. The controls are simple but fast paced, focusing on running, jumping, and unleashing a variety of weapons. Each level is a straightforward objective grind, whether you're clearing out enemies or pushing through checkpoints. The retro arcade vibe is front and center, with pixel art visuals and a focus on raw firepower over complex mechanics. The game’s free content includes 13 levels, after which you’ll need to pay to unlock the rest. Despite its 2014 release, it maintains a niche following for its easy accessibility and local multiplayer options. While the purchase gate has drawn some criticism, the tight gameplay and couch co-op setup make it a solid choice for groups looking for unpolished but fun robot combat. Short matches and straightforward progression keep things from getting too taxing.
