Description

Metal Fatigue is a real-time strategy game taking the genre to new heights - literally. Build and customize your massive Combots to dominate the three battlefield levels simultaneously - from orbit, to the surface, and even underground! Develop your base and command your forces carefully - the enemy can appear from any direction, including above and below!

Choose from the warring factions - the Milargo, Neuropa or Rimtech are competing CorpoNations, each with their own technologies and research capabilities. Capitalize on their individual strengths and weaknesses for the optimum strategic advantage!

Customize and build giant Combots from thousands of unique robot part combinations - including such offensive and defensive options as Katana Arms, Power Shield, and Missile Torsos, and much, much more! Add conventional units like the battle-tank and missile car to round out your military might.

Battle throughout three continuous, multilevel areas - in orbit, on the surface, and underground! Build bases, research new weaponry and unit types, and engage the enemy on three different level simultanously.

30 solo play missions - each faction has its own unique ten-mission campaign. Follow the story of three estranged brothers, as they scavenge high technology from the ancient alien Hedoth to fight a war against their very own bloodline.

30 multiplayer maps & missions - up to eight players supported over LAN. Includes both cooperative and death-match modes!

MEH.

Very dated gameplay with very mediocre mechanics The balancing is a little all over the place and just the overall paceing of the game is just dirt slow sure There's some fun to be had if you paid next to nothing but overall don't grab this game unless it's on heavy discount there is some soul to it and I will probably figure out how to grind through this game better but the mechanics just simply put it feel like a chore

Amazing Classic

One of my all time favourite classics. build up your death robot army and off you go. Also in case any one wants them: Press Escape in game and press the following keys (Shift) CCCm (Resources) (Shift) CCCl (Wins level)

Great game, but beware of slow pacing

An excellent game that didn't get the praise it deserved back then. Interesting aspects of the game: - This was one of the few RTS games where you can customize your units (mechs) in meaningful ways. You can pick the crew, what left and right arm you'd like to use and the leg types. Jetpacks, cloaking technology, katanas, shields, laser swords, this game had it all. - Metal fatigue has 3 different layers of the map, namely orbital height, surface height and underground. You can build on all 3 and certain units can switch between certain layers while others can't. There are advantages and disadvantages to the different layers. For example, you can invest in solar panels in orbital height but it requires a lot of time but the resources there are basically infinite. Whereas underground you can find geothermal energy patches which are a finite resource but can be harvested much more quickly. Sadly when we played this game on a LAN party we found out that players can dominate in one layer of the game shutting out any invasions from the other layer. This meant that there was often a stalemate and while there are ways around this (for example Tectonic Torpedoes to destroy a player burrowed in) it would take a very long time to get there.

Uniqe and dear game is back.

Good to have it back working without all aditional effort (there is a way to launch it actually). It seems to be working whithot crushes (was unable to do that bit). Music is working as well and that is additional chalange. Only issue I found so far is lack of Rimtech music, Millagro one is actualy beeing played insteed. Every side of conflict have their music kinda fitting their character and that could be fixed :). Thank you again for bringing back that game.
