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!
This game is one of the best strategy games ever in my opinion, I played it for the first time when I was a teenager, I loved to customize the robots and today I can play it again thanks to GOG :D
The game goes well but sometimes the game crashes and does not have to save the game in skirmish mode, it would be good to fix those problems so that the game is 100% fixed, I hope my review is supported.
(This is happening to me in Windows 7 64 bits and it's not my pc)
When I first found GOG I looked for this game. I am so happy to finally be able to own it, DRM-Free, once again. I still have my original 2 CDs but I could'nt get them to work on Windows 7, much less Windows 10. Now I can finally enjoy this amazing RTS!
If you've never played this game before but are a fan of RTS games I highly recommend it! It is definitely worth the price!
This game's story is amazing: it follows the story of three young brothers entering maturity, as a conflict changes them - and the path humanity takes among the stars.
Sounds bombastic? Perhaps puerile? While the characters might be those things, at times, the story itself isn't. It manages, with the help of flawed characters, to criticise them and the SF path humanity has taken. My advice: don't be put off by the characters (especially the whiny intro) - it's the fault of the characters, not the story. Follow it to the campaign's end, and all shall be made clear.
The gameplay it is hugely fun. You build and field giant battle mechs, with interchangeable parts (torso, legs, left arm, right arm), They can cloak, fly, enter melee, snipe from range, or bombard with back-mounted howitzers.
Besides the awesomely fun and varied mechs, you get a whole RTS game - supporting vehicles (ranging from harasser-scouts to mech-wrecking), defence buildings, and a fully fleshed out economy; you can build solar collectors, shield generators, teleporters, aircraft hangars, mechpart factories and superweapons. While mechs are awesome and powerful, few can resist a wing of bombers with air supremacy or a neutron bomb.
The game manages to vary the gameplay through subtle changes: there are 3 layers, subterranean, ground and atmospheric. In the underground, mechs can't fit, but geothermal resources are plentiful. In the high atmo, there are only a few floating platforms, but solar collectors gather more energy; flying mechs rule there.
The 3 factions, while similar, play differently: they have a few different mech parts and altogether different damage resistances, which strongly influences their strategies.
I did play this 1 year ago, so this is not nostalgia talking. It still is very fun. My only complaint: the mouse control could be a bit more responsive.
Overall, one of my favourite games; at the current price, it's amazing.
Absolutley love GoG from bringing one of my childhood's fondest games to the platform. I'm one of the many that requested it and it's a beautiful thing to see a company strive to get every fan a bit of what they like.
On to the game, honestly, it's rough around the edges but you'll quickly overlook this. It's a lot like any other RTS of the time period but with more "custimization" in the sense that you can deck out your ComBots in any fashion of parts you'd like. It makes for a very varied gameplay as you can choose some that fly, or use melee only, or are more sniper like in nature. The game takes place across Orbit, Land, and Underground and adds yet another wrinkle of strategy to the game that will make this dated title still feel very interesting and new when compared to its contemporaries.
