Something about Iron meat it will simply make you hungry, maybe even after meat. This well-crafted and enjoyable homage to the Contra series is a traditional run-and-gun affair. You play as a soldier who has been sent to fight against various enemy forces that appear to be very meaty (meaty) in nature.

8 Best Old-School RPGs
From Chrono Trigger to Earthbound, we've rounded up the best old-school RPGs of all time.
Because they are fleshy, they bleed and that means they can be killed. As a soldier you are quite skilled in this regard, but who says you have to be a soldier? The game offers a lot of skins to unlock and try out, with some of them being clear winners.
8 P.O.W
He wants to break free
When you're trying to make a run-and-gun game, it's always nice to pay homage to one of the series that dominated the arcades and then took over the world of couch co-op. Yes, the Metal Slug titles are veterans of old school gaming and have struggled to stay relevant with even more recent releases like Metal Slug Tactics.
It was nice running around the battlefield shooting all the bad guys and rescuing those bearded POWs who were more than happy to thank you. This time, POW joins the fight against the meat with this skin. He is no longer a prisoner of war! However, it can end up being swallowed by the flesh.
7 Franklin
The second purple dinosaur
In the far reaches of Internet fan-fiction yet to be written, Barney the Dinosaur has cousins. This cousin is looked down upon by the rest of the purple dinosaur family for living a life of action rather than entertainment for children.
He is Franklin, a purple dinosaur who turned his body into a weapon in order to wield larger weapons. By donning this skin, you show that dinosaurs can be more than mindless beasts or loving artists… they can be soldiers ready to shoot and then eat meat.
6 Power suit
Borrowed it from a friend
If there was a game that helped make the idea of a run-and-gun adventure more sophisticated, it was Metroid. Not only were you a badass interstellar bounty hunter with a cannon on your arm, but you also had a sweet futuristic suit. It wasn't just about running and shooting everything that moved, it was about navigating, choosing the right places to run and choosing your shots.

Which Metroid games are the best?
But even Samus deserves to let loose and have fun with her weapons, so this skin is a great way to let her do that.
5 Gorilla
We're going Primal
How about sending a small group of elite soldiers to scatter behind enemy lines and fight individually and strategically from cover? If you don't know, that's okay, check out this gorilla. Gorillas haven't always had the best reputation in gaming, but thankfully Donkey Kong has had a long and popular career in platforming and adventure.
However, this Gorilla is no Kong, he is a tough and trained elite combat unit. He has the look of Rambo and is ready to punch through flesh with more than just his bare hands. This guy is preparing to go to war with the gorillas. O!
4 Buff Shark
Fins that win
Sharks are amazing, and if you don't think so, it's probably because you haven't met them yet. These reapers tend to get a bad rap because movies have spent years building their reputation as reapers.
Sharks are intelligent creatures that play a vital role in the natural world, and yes, that includes food. They have an aggressive streak, which is probably why Buff Shark was brought into action. This genetically enhanced shark has evolved to fight meat with a smile on its face and a bubble helmet.
3 Flaming skull
Really hotheaded
It's not Marvel's Ghost Rider, and we all know how cool it would be to have Ghost Rider in this game, but come on. Burning skulls have been a thing since before we thought it was cool to slap on our textbooks and body parts.

Marvel Villainous: The 9 Best Villains
Perfect your evil laugh, it's time to play as the best villains in Marvel Villainous.
They have power, and in this universe where meat seems to be able to travel across dimensions, it's not unlikely that it opened rifts between them. That's probably how Flame Skull got through and decided to join the rest of the soldiers in their fight. Why he doesn't use his natural firepower in battle is a mystery.
2 Poochie
Rockin' On!
If you don't get that mention, here it is: The Simpsons cartoon show Itchy & Scratchy was losing viewers, so the creators decided to add a new character, Poochie The Rockin' Dog, voiced by Homer. Unsurprisingly, the character was hated and suddenly killed off with a cell shift animation.
This episode was a mockery of how so many shows introduce new characters with little tact or regard for established dynamics. Well, tired of being mocked and hated, Poochie transforms and takes his rage out on meat.
1 Mass soldier
In The Flesh
If flesh can so easily spread through space, across dimensions and incorporate everything into its substance… Is it inevitable? Are these soldiers fighting a battle they are destined to lose? Wouldn't it just be better and more peaceful if everyone just accepted meat?
Maybe not, because there seems to be some hope. We hope that those who are consumed by flesh can still retain their identity and free will. A flesh soldier may look like a fleshy enemy, but he still chooses to fight the flesh that gave him a new fleshy form.
