The best iron flesh skins

Something about Iron Flesh it will only make you hungry, maybe even for meat. This well-made and entertaining homage to the Contra series is a traditional run-and-gun affair. You are playing a soldier who has been sent to fight a variety of enemy forces that appear to be very meaty (meaty) in nature.

Because they are fleshy, they bleed, which 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 many skins to unlock and try and some of them are clear winners.

8 POW

He wants to free himself

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 dominated the couch co-op world. Yes, Metal Slug titles are veterans of old school games and have tried to stay relevant even with newer releases like Metal Slug Tactics.

It was nice to run around a battlefield shooting all the bad guys and saving those bearded POWs who were more than happy to thank you. This time the prisoner of war joins the fight against the flesh with this skin. He is no longer a prisoner of war! However, it could end up absorbed by the meat.

7 Franklin

The other purple dinosaur

On the edge of Internet fan-fiction that hasn't been written yet, Barney the Dinosaur has a cousin. This cousin is despised by the rest of the purple dinosaur family because he pursues a life of action rather than children's entertainment.

He is Franklin, a purple dinosaur who transformed his body into a weapon so he could wield larger weapons. By wearing this skin, you are showing that dinosaurs can be more than just mindless beasts or endearing artists… they can be soldiers ready to shoot and then eat the flesh.

6 Power suit

Borrowed from a friend

If there was one 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 for an arm, but you also had a sweet futuristic outfit. It wasn't just about running around and photographing everything that moved, it was about getting your bearings, choosing the right places to run and choosing the shots.

But Samus deserves to let loose and have fun with her weapons too, which is why this skin is a great way to let her do it.

5 Gorilla

Becoming primal

What's it called when you send a small group of elite soldiers to disperse behind enemy lines and fight individually and strategically from cover? If you don't know, okay, check out this gorilla. Gorillas haven't always had the best reputation in the world of video games, but fortunately Donkey Kong has had a long and popular career in platform games and adventures.

This Gorilla isn't Kong though, he's a tough, trained elite fighting unit. He looks like Rambo and is ready to tear flesh not only with his bare hands. This guy is preparing for a gorilla war. OH!

4 Buff Shark

Fins that win

Sharks are amazing and if you don't think so, well, it's probably because you haven't met them. These eating machines tend to have a bad reputation as movies have taken years to establish their reputation as eating machines.

Sharks are intelligent creatures that play a vital role in the natural world and, yes, it involves eating. They have an aggressive streak and that's probably why Buff Shark was put into action. This genetically enhanced shark has evolved to fight meat with a smile on its face and a bubble helmet to boot.

3 Flame 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. Fiery skulls have been around since before we started thinking they were cool to slap on our school books and body parts.

They have power, and in this universe, where flesh appears to be able to travel across dimensions, it is not unlikely that it has opened rifts between them. This is probably how the Flame Skull arrived 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

Rocking!

If you don't understand this reference, well here it is: The Simpsons in-show cartoon, Itchy & Scratchy was losing viewers, so the creators decided to add a new character, Poochie The Rockin' Dog, voiced by Homer. It's no surprise that the character was hated and suddenly killed via moving animation cells.

The episode poked fun at the way so many shows introduce new characters with little tact or consideration for the established dynamic. Well, tired of being laughed at and hated, Poochie has revamped himself and is taking out his anger on the flesh.

1 Meat soldier

In the flesh

If flesh can spread so easily across the universe, across dimensions, and incorporate everything into its mass… Is it inevitable? Are these soldiers fighting a battle they are destined to lose? Wouldn't it simply be better and more peaceful for everyone to simply accept the meat?

Maybe not, because there seems to be some hope. The hope is that those who are consumed by the flesh can still maintain their identity and free will. The flesh soldier may appear to be a fleshy enemy, but he is still choosing to fight the mass that has given him a new fleshy form.
