Metamorphic Force is an original Konami brawler that focuses on humans that can morph into animals. It plays like Final Fight mixed with a little Altered Beast thrown in. It has extremely smooth animations and impressive sprite effects.
Besides the Crime Fighters trilogy, Metamorphic Force is the only non-licensed brawler from Konami. The US version has a numeric health bar that constantly drains, whereas the Japanese version has a traditional life bar. The US version also has a boss rush at the end of stage 5 and some changed art.
At first, I found Metamorphic Force off-putting. The Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic isn't my favorite and it's a really easy game. After giving it a chance, it won me over with its solid core combat (essentially Final Fight with ground attacks), fairly catchy music, and hilarious boss introductions. It is REALLY easy, though.
