No, it’s not original and the writing is a bit rubbish, but I can’t fault the game itself.
Despite a few minor control issues encountered playing the switch version, nothing detracts from the eye-popping pixel art visuals and although brief, the attempt to inject some story throughout is greatly appreciated.

Metagal is a fun platformer. It could do with more content, but what’s there is an enjoyable ride with incentive to replay. At $4.99, it’s a bargain that’s worth checking out if you’re a platforming enthusiast or Mega Man fan looking for a little action on the side.
The way the game is presented makes it seem like its ideas are somewhat being kept to the sidelines in detriment of a more familiar formula, which is a shame as METAGAL could be a more enjoyable game if its own ideas were allowed to rise higher.
Metagal tries to be a Mega Man homage, but instead comes off as a semi-decent clone with very few original elements. The ability to play as different characters later on is a neat twist, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of sound design polish, inconsistent difficulty spikes, and the lackluster choice in specials weapons. For the asking price of $5, however, Metagal may be looking into for scratching a micro-sized Mega-itch.
If you’re a rabid Mega Man fan, have already played all the main games to death, and are desperate for something to fill that void, Metagal is maybe worth your five bucks. Otherwise, we’d encourage you to save your money and put it towards something that’s more worth your time.
Summary Metagal is a classic jump and shoot style platformer with 16-bit graphics, eight levels to complete and unlockable new characters to play with, each come with their own powers and upgrades.
