Comments on Metal Ranger. 2D Shooter for Android

★★★★★ Connor Grinstead · Sep 20, 2026
This is an awesome retro bug shooter. I love the music and the gameplay is really good. I would love it if you made metal rangers 2 or some things or this was an awesome experience.
★★★★☆ Percival_Dark · Jun 2, 2026
It's short, a bit fun but short, I hope a sequel to this makes way with more levels and a bit more story to it, it has a good theme, I like it, and I wish the best for its creator and the continuation of this game
★★★★★ Earvin Joshua Pondemira · Oct 18, 2026
The game is very good, but it should have an ammo Mechanics where the player has a starter ammo then you just have to find ammo box, but the type ammo would be random to like bullet's, laser ammo, plasma ammo and more. It would also be good if there is a story line. And instead the armor getting repairs automatically, it should be manual where you need to find that specific type of armor that is damage, so it needs to replace the damage one. And infection Mechanic's that you need to find
★★★★★ Nathan Beecham · May 31, 2026
This is one cool game ! It was designed to be played on your phone the graphics are awesome your character looks absolutely cool, and I got to tell you the soundtrack is freaking awesome!
★☆☆☆☆ Frank Morgan · Oct 3, 2026
So basic and boring. And geezus how long do I need to grind to afford the photon gun? Forever? Ad after and before each level is diabolical, especially after watching 2 ads to try the photon gun, and being forced to watch another ad before starting the 2nd level, then get f'd in the behind, with a post level ad. uninstalled
★★☆☆☆ Digger Dugahole · Feb 24, 2026
Store page says game pad, yet only supports the left stick not both (it's a dual stick game) and no buttons. I know it isn't my controller since it works perfectly fine in other games. The game itself is rudimentary, basic, and bland. Infinite ammunition, enemies that perform the same basic moves each attack...at least the game itself works! And the couch coop (I assume) 2 player mode is a nice feature that more games today ignore. Get the game pad working or remove the tag. Lying is against GPDP

Description by Albert Zig Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Metal Ranger is a 2D shooter with a nostalgic feel of the 1980s sci-fi action movies and games.

You are playing as a ranger wearing powerful steel armor.

Your enemies are giant alien mutant insects.

Take advantage of a great variety of deadly weapons! Choose from an assault rifle, the M134 Minigun machine gun, a grenade launcher, a laser gun, a plasma gun, and a flamethrower.

Complete missions, earn coins, and get armor and HP upgrades.

Start your journey in the factory compound of a Martian colony and fight your way through eerie industrial underground vaults and narrow metal walkways, on to a futuristic city with a retro / cyberpunk ambience. Test the mettle of your Metal Ranger against a huge armored slug, a gigantic spider, and other truly tough monster bosses.

Neon signs, halos around lights, metal ramps and walkways – add to these the synthwave soundtrack and lots of good old side-scrolling action, and you will get that special feel of the golden era of video games, amusement arcades, and VHS tapes.

Game features:
- modern shoot ‘em up platform action;
- authentic 3D locations;
- difficulty increases with every completed mission;
- great selection of weapons: assault rifle, flamethrower, the Minigun machine gun, plasma gun, etc.;
- atmospheric soundtrack reminiscent of the 1980s еlectonic music;
- smooth performance even on older devices;
- eight free levels that can be played without internet access;
- two player co-op multiplayer.

Metal Ranger is not just another platform shooter. It is an artistic tribute and a confession of love to the bygone era.
