Demon Front, known in China as Moyu Zhanxian, is a run and gun developed by IGS in 2002, with an evident design debt to Metal Slug: soldiers running and shooting through detail-packed settings, vehicles to borrow, and enormous bosses at the end of each stretch. It's one of the most polished titles in IGS's action catalog, the Taiwanese company that dominated a good part of the Chinese arcade market in those years. For anyone who knows Metal Slug, playing it today is an almost immediate exercise in recognition: same spirit, same pace, with IGS's own signature in the art and level design.
