Gameplay and Controls
Metal War Gameplay Operations
In Metal War, players are immersed in a challenging 2D platform shooting battlefield. Master the following gameplay operations to break through the hail of bullets:
Basic Movement and Shooting
Use the directional keys or virtual joystick to move your character left and right on the platforms and jump, dodging enemy attacks while seeking the best shooting positions. Tap the shooting button to fire at enemies, and pay attention to ammunition consumption during shooting. With its fast-paced nature, the game demands constant focus, requiring players to shoot accurately while moving. For instance, when enemies swarm in, use jumps to evade bullets and quickly aim for counterattacks.
Weapon Switching and Upgrading
The game offers a rich arsenal. Use the weapon switch button on the interface to change between unlocked weapons at any time, such as heavy firearms and special-effect weapons, to adapt to different combat scenarios. Resources obtained during battles can be used for weapon upgrades. In the weapon upgrade system on the main interface, enhance attributes like attack power, firing rate, and ammo capacity to boost your combat effectiveness. For example, when facing a boss, upgrade high-damage weapons in advance to increase output efficiency.
Utilization of Enhancement Items
Enhancement items drop randomly during battles. Once picked up, they take effect automatically, providing various buffs like a short-term firing rate boost or shield protection. Players need to seize the right moment to pick them up. For example, during peak enemy attacks, picking up a shield item can effectively avoid fatal damage and turn the tide of the battle.
Tactical Strategy Formulation
The game supports diverse tactics, allowing players to choose flexibly based on personal preferences and battlefield situations. If you prefer an aggressive approach, adopt the "firepower suppression" tactic, using high-rate-of-fire weapons to eliminate enemies quickly. For a more conservative playstyle, opt for the "strategic layout" tactic, laying ambushes in advantageous positions and launching surprise attacks when enemies enter the firing range. Additionally, observing enemy movement patterns and formulating corresponding countermeasures for different enemy types is key to victory.
Game Guide

I. The Core of Operations in Fixed - Perspective
1. Anticipatory Positioning and Quick Reactions
With a fixed perspective, anticipating the appearance of enemies in advance is crucial. Before entering a level, observe the terrain structure, such as corners, high platforms, and other areas where enemies are likely to appear, and move the character to a position that is convenient for both attack and evasion. When enemies appear, use the character's limited horizontal movement and jumping to quickly adjust the position. For example, when a dense barrage of enemy fire comes, move horizontally in small, consecutive steps and combine with jumping to evade while maintaining continuous attacks.
2. Utilizing Scene Elements for Combat
Make good use of the obstacles and mechanisms in the scene. Use cover as a barrier to avoid enemy attacks, and peek out to shoot during the intervals of enemy attacks. For the interactive mechanisms in the scene, such as automatic turrets and falling - rock traps, activate them in advance and use their power to eliminate enemies. In addition, pay attention to the height differences in the scene. Standing at a higher position can give you an attacking advantage and reduce the probability of being hit by enemy attacks.
3. Target Priority Management
In multi - enemy scenarios, quickly judge the degree of threat and determine the attack priority. Prioritize eliminating long - range enemies to prevent continuous damage. For close - combat enemies, take advantage of the character's attack range to repel or eliminate them before they get too close. When there are a large number of enemies, you can first attack those grouped together and use area - of - effect weapons to deal with them in groups.

II. Weapon Selection and Upgrading Strategies
1. Suitable Weapon Combinations
Select appropriate weapon combinations according to the level scene. In open levels where enemies are scattered, choose a long - range rifle as the main weapon and a shotgun as the secondary weapon to deal with enemies that approach suddenly. In narrow and enclosed spaces, dual - wielding submachine guns can clear the field quickly. As the game progresses, prioritize unlocking weapons with penetration and area - of - effect damage characteristics to improve the efficiency of clearing enemies.
2. Efficient Resource Allocation
Use the resources obtained in battles to upgrade the core attributes of the main weapons first. For rifles, prioritize increasing attack power and accuracy; for shotguns, focus on increasing the number of pellets and the damage range. At the same time, pay attention to upgrading the special skills of weapons. For example, after upgrading the tracking ability of the rocket launcher, it will be easier to hit enemies in a fixed - perspective.

III. Level Clearance Techniques
1. Strategies for Normal Levels
After entering a level, first observe the general distribution and movement patterns of the enemies. Prioritize eliminating long - range enemies to avoid continuous blood loss. Pay attention to collecting items and resources in the scene, especially shield items and attack - power - enhancing items, which can greatly improve survival and output capabilities. Use the obstacles in the scene as cover, and look for opportunities to counter - attack while avoiding enemy attacks.
2. Boss Battle Strategies
Each boss has a fixed attack cycle. Carefully observe the pre - attack movements and prepare for evasion in advance. For example, when the boss raises its hand to prepare for a powerful move, immediately move in a safe direction. When attacking the boss, find its weak points and keep up the continuous output. If the boss summons minions, prioritize clearing the more threatening ones to avoid being disrupted in the attack rhythm against the boss.

IV. Timing of Using Enhancement Items
After picking up enhancement items, use them reasonably according to the combat situation. Use shield items before the boss releases high - damage skills to ensure that the damage can be completely blocked. Use attack - power - enhancing items when facing a large number of enemies or during the boss's vulnerable phase to maximize the damage output. And use speed - up items when you need to move quickly to pick up key items or avoid fatal attacks.
V. Advanced Approaches for Challenging Difficult Levels
When facing difficult levels, plan the attack route and resource collection order in advance. Through multiple attempts, familiarize yourself with the attack patterns and appearance timings of the enemies, and formulate corresponding countermeasures. Make rational use of the mechanisms in the scene, such as cannons that can fire projectiles and traps that can eliminate enemies, to reduce the combat pressure. Meanwhile, constantly summarize the experience of failure, adjust weapon combinations and operation strategies, and gradually overcome the difficulties.
