Metal Torrent

Metal Torrent, also known as Aa! Mujou! Setsuna! in Japan, is a vertical STG shooter with 3D graphics, published by Nintendo and released on their DSiWare platform for the Nintendo DSi. There does not appear to have ever been a physical release, and as such, this game may no longer be available once the Nintendo eShop for 3DS closes.


Gameplay Overview

The game is a vertical scrolling shooter featuring a chain mechanic, a cube collect mechanic, and eight stages, called phases, that can be either patterned or random. Difficulty can be controlled by this method, as well as by the ship selected at the beginning of each session.

Controls


  • Y: Fire special weapon
  • X: Fire blaster
  • A: Fire special weapon, and confirm menu selections
  • B: Fire blaster, and go back one menu screen
  • +Control Pad: Control ship movement, change menu pages, navigate menus
  • L,R: Change menu pages, not used during gameplay
  • START: Pause the game


Characters / Ships / Styles


There are two ships to choose from;


Weapons


This section describes the weapons that you use in the game and elaborates on them further. Stuff like standard shots, focus shots, bombs, weapon pickups that differ in functionality, options, etc. This can be omitted if not relevant to the game in question.

Items


This section describes any and all collectibles that you acquire in the game. An example being any Power Up items or Medals from Battle Garegga. Include secret items such as extra lives as well.

Rank


If the game features a relevant rank system, use this section to discuss it in more detail. Otherwise, this can be omitted.

Loops


If a game features a loop system, elaborate on it in detail here. Otherwise, omit this section.

Scoring


This section should cover a general breakdown of the scoring system of the game. Feel free to put the meat and potatoes here. A great example of a scoring section is the DoDonPachi page.

Strategy

See (Template Page)/Strategy for stage maps, enemy and boss descriptions, walkthroughs, and advanced play strategies.


This section details some particular strategic information about the game and its gameplay, such as hidden 1UPs and some basic scoring tricks. For anything particularly deep or highly complex, you can probably leave it in the Strategy page.

(Currently evaluating whether or not this specific section should even include information outside of the separated Strategy pages. Worth thinking about as a community.)


Story

Basic story breakdowns, plot information, and endings are included here.

If there is no story at all, or any information about the setting, then this section can be omitted. Try to include at least small things here when you can.


Development History

If available, you can include information here about the hardware, the development of the game, and its general reception. Try to have as much information in this section cited as possible.


Version Differences

  • Include information here about differences in a game between various versions. This includes regional differences, patch updates/bugfixes, and the like.

Trivia

  • Cool facts and random tidbits go here!

Gallery

See (Template Page)/Gallery for our collection of images and scans for the game.


Video References

If the game already has an existing entry in the Video Index, please link to the page here. If you want to link to smaller clips perhaps not included in the Index, you can also leave them here.


Other

We have support for wikitables, giving us the potential to add lots of cool info in a small box on the page somewhere, but we are not using them at the moment. I'm just leaving this here so we can have it handy in case we decide to actually use them. Feel free to not use this section.
