About this game
Set out to become a monster hunter who earns bounties. Explore the world and choose when to seek tanks or companions rather than following one fixed sequence of acquisitions. Tanks open up attacks and access to places that broaden the journey. Battles proceed by assigning commands to people and vehicles, then watching the sides act. Tank strength comes from changing and modifying parts rather than gaining levels. Parts and armor have weight, so a useful vehicle must also stay within its carrying capacity.
Collected in series
Metal Max sends bounty hunters into a ruined world where a well-equipped tank can be a treasured travelling companion. Exploring the wasteland, hunting monsters and rebuilding armed vehicles give its RPG adventures a distinctly mechanical personality.
