The members who participated in the production of the initial series of Metal Slug have unveiled a new run-and-gun game.
Kohachi Studio in Japan released a steam page and teaser video for Black Finger JET on the 15th. Kohachi Studio is a small-scale development studio belonging to Akio, the original artist who worked for SNK and Irem and participated in the development of Metal Slug 1 to 3, planner Miha, and sound producer Hiya.
Black Finger Jet, which was released this time, is being produced in the run-and-gun genre as the Metal Slug development team has gathered again. It is a gun action game that can aim in 8 directions, and depending on the situation, you can use various firearms such as pistols, machine guns, and shotguns. In addition, there is an element of fighting enemies riding a ‘jet car’ that transforms into an airplane, car, or submarine, so it is safe to see it as a spiritual successor to Metal Slug.
On the other hand, Metal Slug fans who heard the news responded that they are generally looking forward to it. Opinions such as “I can feel the feeling of Metal Slug in the dot and background music”, “I can feel the emotions of those days”, and “It can be regarded as a spiritual follow-up” came out from YouTube comments and other places.
