Irena Genesis Metal Fury is a brand new shoot'em up designed for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive which is inspired by classic games of the 90’s such as Thunder Force III / IV, Aero Blaster, Super Shinobi II and Contra Hard Corps. As our first release, Irena Genesis Metal Fury will be a high quality shoot'em up with a classic style that will appeal to fans of the genre, casual players and all those wishing to discover a new game on SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive.

Kickstarter's Demo Update #2
about 3 years ago – Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 06:14:13 PM

The White Ninja Studio team is glad to announce that a new Irena Genesis Metal Fury's demo update will be available soon! We have made many improvements to provide you a better experience by considering all of your feedback.

The level has a new level design and several game-play adjustments to make the action more intense with progressive difficulty. Beware, because the enemies are now more numerous, faster, and shoot in the direction of the Rayden MG-323!

To help you practice, we've added a cheat mode that can be accessed from the title screen with a key combination. This cheat mode allows you to add extra lives/credits and choose the starting weapon. In the final version and the Kickstarter's demo for investors, it will be possible to choose one of the available levels. Keep in mind, using cheat mode will prevent you from saving your new high score in memory and on Megascore.

A new starfield background has been added to make the second part of the level more visually appealing, and we have also updated many elements to be more consistent with the graphic style. Now enemies use a new color palette and have a more pronounced blink color to make the feeling of impact easier. 

A QR Code is now displayed on the cockpit screen to make it easier for you to register your new high score on Megascore and the "Highscore Password" screen is now accessible directly from the options menu.

We are currently working on other improvements, and we hope that this new version will satisfy many players. We also started to work on level 2 with a  scrolling cloud background, which you can see in this video below.

The White Ninja Studio team would like to thank all backers who made the Kickstarter campaign a success. We will be back very soon to show you new features and our progress on the project. 

Stay tuned!

We've decided to take your feedbacks into consideration in order to improve the demo with a new update that you can download now!

This update come with many improvements in order to give you a better experience and you will be happy to know that we have removed the nebula for an more detailed background where you can see an asteroid field on the horizon and the atmosphere of the planet Xellia.

Admire the view! But stay focused in action, because the gameplay has undergone a few tweaks to give you more challenge while carefully balancing the game difficulty.

In fact, the time has been reduced by 3 minutes and the second part has undergone changes with some narrow passages removed.

Now, the Rayden get an extra life and no longer loses all of its weapon's upgrades after its destruction.

You will certainly be happy to know that we have added a "QR CODES" menu accessible from the options screen to allow you to access our Kickstarter page as well as the Megascore and White Ninja websites directly from your smartphone.

We are aware that despite this major update, it remains difficult to satisfy all various player profiles, but we hope that a big part of you will appreciate the changes we maded.
