Holy derivative, Batman. As mentioned below, it's basically the art from Metal Warriors pasted onto something that plays like an easy set of Mega Man levels with a 10 second boss. (No really, ten seconds.) I want to respect this game--after all it plays smoothly, easy to get into, and is relatively bug free--but there's not even any credit given to the people who did the actual work 20 years ago.
Newgrounds is at its best when it's showcasing creativity. This game is the counterpoint.
Reviews for "Magic Steel"
Nice game, so props for good coding and everything. I'd give the gameplay a high rating but you get 0/5 for the graphics and music since they're ripped (and on all his other games)
Copy of games - Super Nintendo
Can't believe my eyes. First time I ever rate with no stars. As stated previously, this is a rip off...
Nice concept with the up-grades and stuff... but, as fan of the original LucasArts/Konami game, it's a big disappointment.
Metal Warriors is among the best SNES titles out there, packed full of action with a great plot, with an amazing gameplay for it's age. It was the Armoured Core of it's time.
Maybe this could have been a good game if the sprites weren't so straight forward with no shame copy-pasted...
This is an overly easy and incredibly boring game that really shows no creativity as pretty much everything here is ripped from Metal Warriors. It's amazing how you so blatantly used the sprites from that game and gave no credit for them at all, not even acknowledging that someone else created them.
As for the game itself... As I said: overly easy and boring. I never died once, I could storm past everything in my path, leveling up was effortless, and the boss was just stupid. I didn't even take half my health in damage before it was dead. I expect that sort of fight from TRASH enemies. Not a boss.
It's obvious you didn't even try to toss out even a mediocre game here, so I'm sorry but you get no sympathy from me. Zeros all around for this game; it doesn't deserve to be on the front page of anything except maybe "How to plagiarize your flash resources." Mean, but true. Next time, drum up your own game resources and don't rip them off. It makes you look horrible when you do it.
