Metal Gear Lads: Arcade

## Introduction

**Metal Gear Lads: Arcade** is the newest title from VirginSoft, creators of many touted pornographic text adventures. It features MGGCU and bonus characters from the expansive lore of the long running series. It is the 4th fighting game based on the ever expanding multimedia franchise.

## Gameplay

Metal Gear Lads: Arcade is a fighting game inspired by King of Fighters and Tekken 2. You can pick three characters from different MGGCU movies and they have their own unique fighting style and special movements. Special movements are known as MG Skills and they can be used when you have enough MG Points at your disposal. Points can be acquired by performing delicious combos or by absorbing Elemental Spheres of your character's element.

Picking Elemental Spheres that you are weak against (ie: getting a Fire Sphere using Brad) will cause your character MG Points stack to get frozen until you use a repair skill, which leaves you open to enemy attacks for a small time window.

**Story mode:** TBD
