Full Metal Furies

This was truly an incredible gem of a game, a fine blend of an arcade-y beat-'em-up, fun writing and exceptionally clever puzzles. I played it with three friends and enjoyed an unparalleled experience - and I mean that. There are truly so few games out there doing what Full Metal Furies does with its puzzles, from their depth to their creativity to their meta-construction, right down to the incredibly fine line walked by the developers as they threaded clues and directions that wouldn't give away too much. And I greatly loved the four distinct classes, further specialized with the gear choices and the skill trees that add a wonderful sense of both progression and personalization. I'd be remiss to not mention the gorgeous visuals and wonderful soundtrack as well. The spritework is incredible! The game is bursting with personality and fine details that build such a wonderful, breathtaking world. And I'll forever be a fan of including silly interactables like petting Go-Cat and playing the musical instruments - little things that just make the world feel a touch more alive. The feelings of triumph and satisfaction my friends and I shared as all four of us worked together to pool our unique ideas and perspectives into slowly cracking these puzzles is something I'll hold on to for a long time. Huge respect to the developers for taking a chance on making something like this. And if they still have the ideas and drive to do it, I sincerely hope they take a crack at a sequel one day; I'll always be a fan of developers carving out new paths with wholly new games, but there are simply so few games like this that I can't help but want more! Even if we don't get a sequel though, this game will forever be something special.

This is one of my favorite co-op games of all time. The difficulty, the upgrades, and the revive system are great, probably the best revive system I've seen in a co-op game. Graphically it looks like an old ninja turtles game, but the game play and controls are very refined. I never watched the cut-scenes, as I usually don't follow a game's story. I wish they'd make a sequel but I think the rogue legacy games are more popular.

Solid couch co-op.
