Demon Front is a side-scrolling run and gun arcade game released in 2002 by International Games System. It shares many characteristics with the Metal Slug series.<\/p>\n
The gameplay is similar to Metal Slug and other run and gun games. It lacks the vehicles that were an element of Metal Slug.<\/p>\n
In addition, there are some unique features in the game. Each of the four characters brings along a pet, which can be sent to attack enemies or used as a shield. There are three buttons: Shoot, jump, and shield. Holding the shoot button charges your pet, and when released the pet launches a stationary devastating attack for a few seconds. The shield button converts the pet into a shield that is permanent – until you press the button again or it takes enough damage to disappear. Melee attacks and pet attacks release hearts which boost your shield power.<\/p>\n
Characters include Jake and Sara, two regular humans from Earth. Dr. J, a scientist, and Maya an ape. All characters largely play the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
