Developer Gelato Games has revealed Guns of Fury, a 2D-pixel art action game that blends the high-octane gameplay of Metal Slug with the explorative elements of Metroidvanias like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Launching on Switch and Steam later in 2024, it's from the same two-man team that released the quirky action-platformer Goblin Sword back in 2020, and this time, they're bringing on composer Dominic Ninmark (Blazing Chrome, Gravity Circuit, Mighty Goose) to help bring the game's soundtrack to life.
We have to say, the visuals for this one are lovely; there's a ton of detail in the character design and environments, and the overall aesthetic reminds us of the rather excellent Mercenary Kings, which itself was heavily inspired by Metal Slug.
Let's take a look at the key features:
- Explore a vast interconnected world and uncover new areas using newly acquired skills and equipment
- Exhilarating run and gun action
- Beautiful hand-crafted 16-bit pixel art
- Hundreds of unique items to discover, including pistols, weapons, knives and accessories
- 10+ bosses and tons of enemy types
- Acquire new abilities in an authentic Metroidvania experience
- Take control of a variety of different mechs, each with its own array of attacks and abilities
- Discover secrets in breakable walls and acquire loot and powerful new equipment
- Destructible environments
- Alternate endings
- Incredible soundtrack by Dominic Ninmark

Hey now there's a mash up I never considered before. Looks excellent.
Looks absolutely amazing. Keeping an eye on this one.
Is it too much to ask to be able to shoot diagonally
Pretty cool (no, not just because there's an Ice Gun) idea, hope it ends up being good also in practice because if that's the case - certainly looks like it - I'll eventually get it for sure!
Well now, that looks simply marvellous. Delishawesomexcellent, if I do say so myself. I'll have to keep a weather eye on it.
This looks pretty great. Been a while since I've seen a trailer that really got me excited.
Sick . Looks like fun.
Looks wonderful. Hope it co.es out soon!!!
Now that's how to get someone into a game.
Don't like the look of the player character, kind of distracted me, but the rest is great.
Looks like a fun time, but the military vibe is a bit of a turn off for me, personally
Not quite the Contra Hardcorps open, but I see the love.
I love this. Goblin Sword was good - but this looks amazing!
I didn't know that I wanted a Metal Slug metroidvania... But apparently, I want this.
Goblin Sword is very good! I finished on mobile and again on Switch.
Looks great, I'm gonna play this 😃
I loved Goblin Sword and really enjoyed Mercenary Kings. I’m looking forward to trying this one!! Physical edition and it’s a no brainer as long as performance is okay on switch, but those other two games don’t have one, so I wouldn’t expect one for this game.
This looks excellent! Hopefully we'll get a physical release.
Definitely looking forward to it.
Seems to be doing what the Mummy de-make couldn't...to actually entertain LOL
Here come the Contravanias.
