''Demon Front'' is a 2002 side-scrolling RunAndGun arcade shooter made by Taiwan's International Games System, and a ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' clone sharing similarities in gameplay, animation, power-ups, and the like, although it's in a sci-fi setting.
As elaborated in the backstory, the game is set in the aftermath of an invasion on a distant planet, and the protagonists -- part of a LaResistance unit -- are opposing an entire army of invaders. Consisting of the following heroes:
* Jake, the closest this game has to TheHero, a young rebel soldier, with his trusty fire-breathing salamander pet Rage,
* Sara, the resident [[TheChick chick]] and only female playable hero, backed by her alien rabbit Bunny,
* Dr. J, [[ScienceHero a scientist]] who can kick as much ass as any soldier, with his robotic familiar Chip, and
* Maya, an ape-alien from deep in the jungles, with a powerful flying lizard protector Flip.
And as always, that's pretty much ''all'' there is to the game -- time to go kick some ass and destroy stuff!

* AdvancingBossOfDoom:
** The tunnel's boss, Big Claw, a giant mechanical bug monster who pursues the player down a tunnel.

* AlienInvasion: According to the game's backstory, at least.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: Even after defeating the FinalBoss, the players have yet to reclaim Planet Anders. The game ends with a short clip of the heroes fleeing from enemy reinforcements, and preparing to fight another day, then cue credits.

* FreezeRay: One of the possible pickups, which fires homing ice mists turning enemies into HumanPopsicle(s).

* TraintopBattle: The undergound tunnel battle has the players on a moving train full of enemies, and blow up pursuing enemies on minecarts until they reach the exit.
