Very glad other soldiers helped in this. Its even better that some of them survived. You need to remember: A human may be like an ant to an Eldrich horror, but if they attack Earth, they just stuck their arm elbow deep in a fire ant nest!

Sasha held the moon, no doubt at least making it easier for Vadim to get through to Markov's lab and at the meat of the matter (sorry i'll stop) for all the time it took the earth to get invaded, and push all the way back to the teleportation institute. she bloody well earned that drink. also, considering the massive corpse meat piles we climb over, it's likely she made it POSSIBLE to get through to the meat manually in the first place.

@magicbirch7406 17 күн бұрын

I'd love a part 2 with her story. Hopefully like you said, she accomplishes a few big things on the moon that makes it possible for Vadim to kill Iron Meat at the end. That would add a cool "behind the scenes" narrative to the game, things happening that we weren't aware of while playing this first game

@gabrielajanki9167 2 ай бұрын

Now THAT'S quite some lore for an already quite amazing game! This helped answer a few questions I had in mind, such as 1 - Was Yuri Markov in control of his actions? Judged from how self-centered he sounded even before infection.... probably? 2 - Why were you dropped down at the end of Stage 4? Turns out it was to take out a big, infected rig this whole time! ... I mean, it was probably a bit obvious, but I (and Vadim if the question marks were any indication) was still a bit confused. Great job on the game, lads!

@silentvi6788 2 ай бұрын

2 - lab survivors isolated themselves from underground storage because of the infected truck inside. We player arrives situation is too critical. Supply of blue substance are short, and truck becomes too aggressive it nearly can crash whole complex and destroy blue substance storage. So they are sending you down as the most competent soldier to eliminate foe and gain access to resources.

@silentvi6788 2 ай бұрын

1 - IMHO every other soul, when completely consumed by Meat, becomes nothing but puppet, so I think that Markov as a person had died at the beginning. I simply don't wanna think he was SO comedically evil to willingly join forces of entity that will destroy everything and everyone he ever knew.

@Dostoron 2 ай бұрын

1 is a little complicated as such things go... interdimensional horrors have a way of "enlightening" their first few victims. he could have had the best and noblest intentions before meeting the meat. and as we see in the very beginning, after that stuff got him, he was fully infected and probably enthralled, a few scraps of his mind being kept intact to operate the portal wether at that point he thought he was in control, or whether he thought he was doing good, didn't matter anymore.

@RiverwindGames 2 ай бұрын

Thats such a cool backstory, you did a good job since the game by itself can explain most of those things while playing. From my point of view, it looked like Yuri Markov didnt become the Meat Prophet until the Meat devoured him at the top of the skyscraper, like the meat being tired of seeing Yuri Markov failing (stage 2 and 7) decides to do everything by itself, so assimilates him. But anyways, it wasnt Markov either anymore since he "died" when the cell attacked him on the moon lab. I would like to see something even more meaty, sasha being responsible of the moon being cut in half, a mission to mars or even that liquified moon would be awesome to see.

(4 players) Being able to play with 4 players, and each player will have their own color, like RED, BLUE, GREEN, AND YELLOW. 4.

Spoiler noticed indeed... Now to think when I did get that far, I did notice the Mars escape unit was already gone. Sasha was still here all this time, and now pondering, of course there were others on the moon, but who already booked it? Friend or foe? Maybe Sasha did let someone get lucky and escape first? ...or could it hint to a Iron Meat 2 game as being either another antagonist or an infected Meat Craft later to become a boss? Or could it simply be part of a DLC stage for this game ahead? DLC Stage 1: Moon Act 2 (Sasha's side), and DLC Stage 2: Mars (or several stages across Mars?) DLC Stages 3+: Blood Moon?

16:02 Yeah yeah yeah...... we want the level that was removed (meaning the bike section or even a plane section) and also a level where..... we drive a mech no matter if it's small, I love the idea that the levels suddenly go crazy like Metal Slug 3 When you mentioned the final part where a certain ship escaped to Mars and the remains of the moon regenerate like a red moon, it gives me a lot of trouble and fear to know what will happen and I think I have the idea that the minimal portion of the hive leader that is released, I think that the true Meat has observed each and every human being who knows how to build a portal, meaning... the ship that escaped to Mars is going to build a portal :o OMAIGA! It means a lot of problems that require a mecha to solve and a SUPER ARMOR SUIT just in case, I never thought that Iron meat had so much lore despite having played I thought I had seen it all, but better than everything is that MEAT is a cosmic horror entity that gives an investigation to the SCPO.... By the way Dev, give the creator of the menu theme a promotion, because to this day I can't stop listening to it because it inspires fear because of the premise but at the same time it inspires a powerful energy that you are willing to face the horrors. It's... magnificent, not only does each theme level section make it incredibly memorable, but I'll stick with the menu theme.

By the way, I would add here the theory that during the second meeting with Yuri after his defeat, he could have weakened greatly and meat could lose complete control over it. This can be understood by the emotions experienced by Yuri during the battle with the meat prophet.

@GzegzolkaDA 2 ай бұрын

It is highly possible that the Meat work as network structure where meat brain cell on moon is a master, Yuri Makrov is second in command, and bosses on Earth are next in the command line. If you kill level boss, the ground soldiers under it lose connection, and as seen in the ending will collapse, if You kill Yuri, then the brain cell will lose control over every boss on Earth, but keep control over Moon. And if You remove brain cell than either every meat infected soldier will collapse or Yuri will become master to control everything.

This has been my favourite game of 2024 so far. I too would love more content. But I am still going to play THIS content a whole bunch more times :D If... a DLC or sequel were to appear. I would certainly find an 'alternate' campaign to be wonderful for replay value. I don't mean different levels, but I really wished there were some more unlockables in this one (not a complaint). So I thought, perhaps you could unlock new weapons, that could only be found and used in a separate campaign, perhaps ones that made combat more difficult and strange :D The even the new game+ would be an unlockable in itself. Perhaps also, a 'second loop' like in Super Castlevania IV. Where you clear one game and it moves right on to stage one again once the ending and credits roll, only this time all the enemy placement is different and it's a bit harder :D Basically I LOVE your game. The artwork is magnificent, the pacing is perfect, the movement control is masterful, and the soundtrack slaps. Thanks guys.
