Summary
Metropolis is a game inspired by Capcom's Trojan, offering a unique twist on beat 'em ups. Players must defeat enemies using only a sword and shield. Set in a post-nuclear disaster city governed by the law of the strongest, players control Geitor, tasked with restoring peace. By leading a revolt and eliminating five nuclear tanks held by the city's evildoers, Geitor aims to establish peace in Metropolis. Opposition comes from three factions: The Warriors of Death, The Dartfire mutants, and The Girlkiller gang.
