I've covered development builds of Iron Meat a few times on the channel (because it's awesome), and this latest one features two brand new levels and one reworked level (all with big boss fights at the end of them). This vid also shows off some of the different skins you can have for your character (including a very silly looking dinosaur costume). :)
Personally, I really like the name of the train boss 'Carrionvoy', that's so clever, and it looks horrific and gross in such a great way. Major props to the graphics artists
Yeah, Zombie army 4 dead war did it with undead war machines, now Iron meat comes along and its in full force with objects and machines included, not just vehicles heh...this concept got lots of potential.
It's like Daemons from Warhammer 40K with demonic flesh and metal fusing together Or Zerg corruption from Starcraft I love it so much. It's two opposite things fused in an unholy union
This game really encapsulates the old Shoot-em-ups of its era: having the detailed aesthetics of Metal Slug, the gameplay and power ups of Contra, and the soundtrack of Doom...
This soundtrack is neither like old or new doom. It's much more generic. New doom has very good metal. Old doom had lots of good metal with many other kinds of music that people seem to forget about
It works on a visual and aesthetic level, but the darker, more muted palette works on a *gameplay* level as well, since having bright enemy bullets means they're always going to "pop" against the background. It feels minor, but at the same time you can tell they knew what they were doing.
References to soviet/post-soviet culture: - train is a stylised ER2 (ЭР2), passenger train you can still see on duty on post-soviet territory - ad «Martian apples» (Марсианские яблоки) on a fence - a reference to 1963 song "И на марсе будут яблони цвести" (Apple trees will bloom on Mars), in Russia you could still hear someone say this phrase - address panels on houses say «Savushkina street» (улица Савушкина) - real street in Saint Petersburg. For example, so called troll factory founded by infamous Prigozhin once was located on Savushkina street - in forest level Mi-24 helicopter could be seen in background - among flying cars you can see, I believe, Volga and police UAZ - basic weapon which player receives at level start and after death is I believe a reference to AK-12 or some other AK - concrete fence PO-2 (ПО-2), a very widespread construction in post-soviet countries is seen in city level Maybe there are more
Big shoutout to Alpha. Who finds, plays, records, edits, and uploads so many videos for all of us to enjoy. I’m extremely lazy and older now, and I find watching video games more entertaining than playing. Dumb I know. Thanks for all your work!
I wonder about this often. Do you think it's because as we age and play more, less games and concepts feel fresh and exciting? Though I still enjoy and play a lot, there's no way I'd have the time or will to discover so much of what I'm into without this channel.
@@Atolm4 Probably because the longer we play, we start expecting the unexpected, feeling less of that charm that our video games had, and there's only so much niche genres and innovation to keep that charm up.
When I turned on the video and saw the Soviet ВЛ80 locomotive in it, the thought “What? did the Russians make this?” immediately flashed through my head. Again, great attention to detail and the spirit of the old console games from the 80s and 90s spoke in favor of this. After I went to the game's community page and saw that Darkman007, aka Vladimir Tugai, whom I personally know, made the music for it, all doubts about Russian developers were dispelled - this is definitely a Russian game)
The enemies changing outfits to match the allies/civilians that would be present in the level area is a nice little touch of detail. The visual style is very much like someone injected a bit of Splatterhouse into Super Contra.
The video is perfectly edited, just great. Your videos have done so much for the game that I will mention you in the credits in the "special thanks" section Thank you very much! 🥩🥩🥩
Can we give a applause tot hose cabbies or cops that keep dropping power ups for the hero? I feel like everyone is forgettign they are flying through almost literal hell to help that one commando.
This looks like designed in Eastern Europe. Especially the level with train. Train-boss looks like something fresh. Like this part much more than demos introduced before
Yep, first boss is a mutated electric train model "ЭР-2". Such trains were manufacturing in USSR, partuculary in Riga, RVR factory and was ecspluatating until 2000-s all over Russia and nearest pespublics. I spent a lot of time in ЭР-2 traveling to the suburbs)
Command: *hey, our Russian base is under attack by chaos, what assets do we have?* Colonel: *some spartans, MP's, one hind-d and a purple dinosaur* Command: 😐
Man I love this music!!! Whoever they got to do this knocked the soundtrack outta the park!!! I'm legitimately going to just rewatch this over and over again so I can just hear the music 😂
As if the contra inspiration wasn’t enough of a selling point, the direction of flesh-metal based amalgamations and a kick ass soundtrack really make this look like a fun, badass romp! Looking forward to the official release.
I am honestly interested in the lore of this world and based on the level settings and what is going on in the background one can guess that the virus spread so quickly that you are not years into the crisis but merely days if not hours into it.
I really tire of seeing "lore" all the time when describing a games story. Never used to see it now everyone loves tossing it all over the place, it's just overused. That being said, good observation
4:30 That part was badass! The way how the meat train sneaks in the dark forward and back around the whole screen while hearing that mysterious alien rock theme!
Glad to see you back with this underrated gem. I hope this game gets enough traction and let's players to grow a fanbase because I really love the concept of machines/vehicles/objects infected with flesh making them look zombie-like crude cyborgs of sorts like Zombie army 4 dead war. Just lot of potential fan designs and fanart of meat metal monsters to be had. And the soundtrack freakin' slaps hard, specially the City theme which is my favorite. Very good for remixs. Train theme really captures the theme of being on a speeding train or chase very well.
OK thats good the dinosaur is a skin. I was watching it and then it was suddenly all goofy looking and I was like this doesn't seem to fit with how cool it looked in the first level lol
The stage graphics are very well done. The background is beautifully muted, the platforms are bright and so are the bullets and enemies -- even for the viewer the action is clearly visible and pops out!
I love that this game has a co-op, you don't see it so often these days and I appreciate it a lot, playing splitscreen/co-op games with someone else in the same room is really fun.
босс файт с поездом напомнил мне один из моих детских кошмаров. тогда мы с родителями гуляли вдоль ЖД'шки и тут один из поездов отрывается от рельс и пытается пикировать на меня и так несколько раз пока не проснулся. Стоит ли говорить, что через двадцать пять лет этот кошмар меня нашёл.
О-о-о!!! Просто восчудительно! Хороший графон и антураж - дело как бы в России далёкого будущего происходит, что не может не радовать... Я как буд-то бы вспомнил 2003 год: купленная и подаренная нам с братом в марте приставка SEGA, трофейный картридж из Астаны с Contra: Hard Corps на русском языке (достать такой в наших широтах было практически невозможно), лето, каникулы и... Как в той легендарной цитате, имевшей на то время вес и значение: "Вся жизнь впереди!"... Спасибо, Автор! Лойс поставил, пойду пущу скупую мужскую...
love both the music from the train boss figth as well as the way it is animated ,having large portion of its body circle around trugh foreground and then background before head appears in the front to attack ryly shows how damm massive this thing is and having it constanly move around as the boss attacks gives weight ot its movements .
God, I love these Contra homages. The pixel artwork in this game is crazy good. If anything, this is up there with Metal Slug. Also, wishlisted it! Only gripes with it, is that they should leave the option to remove the "white flashes" when hitting targets, it's rather irksome, when you can't see the pixel artwork in its glory while shooting at it.
This game is awesome, the sprite work is fantastic (my favorite sprite is ne of the mooks running with a finger gun) as well the backgrounds and the soundtrack is full of 16bit charm but modernized. This is what pixel art games have to look like instead of the low effort approach we been seeing so many times.
"Get off my train." ~Caleb Of all the Contra games, Iron Meat seems to draw most of its Giger/Cronenberg influence from Contra: Hard Corps. The boss intros are reminiscent of Darius Twin. The purple dragon/kobold character could be the older brother of Susie from Deltarune (comparable to Brad Fang the cyborg werewolf from Hard Corps). And of course, the soundtrack rawks.
The aesthetics is astounding, atmosphere creepy and amazing vibes, music is top notch giving that retro vibes of being an actual arcade shooter game, sounds of the enemies of death and random effects are satisfying
Oh yeah. I remember seeing those super old videos where first it was a generic looking run and gun with human enemies and normal vehicles. Then it had meat but it was severely underutilized with only some being the tentacle heads but that's it...somewhat teamed with humans and had normal vehicles, there was those wall mouths but that was it. Then more meat showed up, infected replacing humans gradually and more quality improvements and art later, we are here in its true well-done creative glory. Been a long road.
Life is so bizzarely circumstantial, making this exciting and meaningful for me to just indirectly bumble and stumble into. Such consistently well made / quality showcases and reccomendations . I've come to love it. You rock. 👍
This is going to sound weird, but I like the genre of "inorganic-organic horror" if that makes any sense. Basically something looks cool to me but just gross enough when something inorganic is essentially taken over by organic matter. The only other example I can think of where this is done great is the vehicle bosses in Zombie Army 4 I think (the tank, apc's, etc.).
Yeah. That's what I was thinking as we really need more of this subject cause its underrated, who knows, we could have another zombie game with both human, animals and vehicles infested by flesh and distorted into crude cyborgs to possibly fight. Would be epic. Just Iron meat has limitless potential with its setting with how the Meat could graft into and make into hybrid-monsters. Same goes for Zombie Army 4...hope in 5 the Zombie vehicle concept is more expanded upon with new types of bio-mechanical abominations to snipe and take down...maybe even the upper half of a zombie with the lower half of a cart powered by flesh rotating the axles.
@@colonelrockrits9436 Man I'd love a ZA 5 as well. I'd love "_____ zombie problem has popped up in russia, japan, America, south America, etc." just expanding on the gross zombie formula anywhere in WW2 earth would be awesome Heck, what if we fought japanese flesh-steel "zombies" and one of the bosses is a giant aircraft carrier/whatever covered in zombie bits (gotta fight it in a plane or something else)
That second level layout is just beautiful. Bless the designers. Edit: Because it says in your face how much of Contra inspired it. I think it’s literally the first level of Contra IIRC.
I wonder how these stages will connect together. Each stage introduces a new character, seemingly unaware of one another’s existences. I doubt they’ll all cross paths at some point in the game, but it’d be really cool if they did.
I just realise that before carrionvoy's fight the train stops but then moves without the wheels spinning and carrionvoy's shadow never ends. In other words the level itself is the boss or rather becomes the boss.
These people surpassed anything I've ever seen!!! My God you are too much 👏👏👏👏👏!!! I'm already a fan of this work of art you created, congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻!!!!

Meat is murder. That's not a dietary statement. I mean, this meat is literally trying to murder the player. Midnight Meat Train 2, Meat Trainer.
It's like Daemons from Warhammer 40K with demonic flesh and metal fusing together
Or Zerg corruption from Starcraft

This is Run and Gun. Shoot em ups are to ships and mechs in the sky above ground with no bottom or in space (primarily space).
Try also Super Cyborg. Also contralike.

That second level layout is just beautiful. Bless the designers. Edit: Because it says in your face how much of Contra inspired it. I think it’s literally the first level of Contra IIRC.
You weren't lying about the contra-inspired part. F'n loved that game.
Электричка ЭР-2 мутант это ГЕНИАЛЬНО! ))
Там кажется также мутант полицейский УАЗ
🤘😆🤘 (The Music F*cking Slaps)
And that boss was epic
When Contra, Metal Slug, and Resident Evil had 3some
I wonder how these stages will connect together.
Each stage introduces a new character, seemingly unaware of one another’s existences. I doubt they’ll all cross paths at some point in the game, but it’d be really cool if they did.
Never knew I needed dollar store Barney fighting a biomechanical tank, but here we are!
I love this concept of flesh infecting and fusing with metalic objects
It is an impossible thing, but it is so intriguing.
it's called bio-metal / bio-mechanic
@@voltapony75I've been looking for a term for that
Thank you
I just realise that before carrionvoy's fight the train stops but then moves without the wheels spinning and carrionvoy's shadow never ends.
In other words the level itself is the boss or rather becomes the boss.
I love this and that BGM is a chef kiss! (was not expecting Barney's badass brother to jump in this!)
Oh dude, gonna love hearing 8-bit drummer jam out to this sound track
I've always liked the old Arcadian style, but most of all I liked the flying police uazike (UAZ)!
Очень нравится визуал, музыка и разнообразность проджектайлов в игре, contra hard corps одна из любимейших игр моего детства
Чел, афигительнейщий пиксель арт!
These people surpassed anything I've ever seen!!!
My God you are too much 👏👏👏👏👏!!!
I'm already a fan of this work of art you created, congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻!!!!
Meat train that would make a great live action movie concept
Iron Meat is just a DOOM and Metal Slugs Spin-Off with an extra Cool Cutscenes. Worth buying it
I have a feeling that it was made by the same guys that did Super Cyborg
I recoginize JaimeR style anywhere!
cutscene animations made by a major talent! Check him out guys
Recognised it as well, was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
The soundtrack is AWESOME!!
ngl, the soundtrack is kick ass
