Join me in this series while I try out EACH of the video games in the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE, before I die. The game review for each game will focus on the question of whether you MUST play this game before you die. But to be honest, the game review parts are just for fun, and are not meant to be definitive, in depth reviews; this series is more about the YouTube gamer journey itself. From Mario games to the Halo series, from arcade games to Commodore 64, PC games to the NES and Sega Genesis, Playstation to the Xbox, let's play those classic retro games that we grew up with, have fond memories of, or heard of but never got a chance to try! And with that said, the game review for today is...
Metal Fatigue
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Fatigue_(video_game)
Metal Fatigue (also known as Metal Conflict[1]), is a futuristic science fiction, real-time strategy computer game developed by Zono[2][3] and published by Psygnosis (in Europe) and TalonSoft (in the United States).[4]
The game was re-released on June 21, 2018 on GOG.com and Steam by Nightdive Studios, who had acquired the rights to the game.[5]
The game is fully 3D, mapped by an invisible grid; vehicles tilt to meet hilly terrain, and projectiles can be realistically blocked by obstructions.[7][8] The camera is free-moving and can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan up or down while navigating the battlefield.[2]
In the game, the usual real-time strategy elements such as base building and resource gathering are followed, but Metal Fatigue differs from the other titles by offering players to do battle with giant high-tech mech-style juggernauts called Combots.[9]
Combots can be customized by four main combot parts: a torso, a single pair of legs, and two separate pieces of arm[10] (excluding the combot pilots). The game also allows players to salvage destroyed enemy Combots and their various parts. Salvaged parts can be grafted onto the player's own combots (either by a combot in the field, or brought back and built into a new one,) and, more importantly, they can be researched and reverse-engineered, adding the component into the player's technology base.[9]
In-game, units are unable to increase in rank through experience. However, after a completion of a single-player mission, the player is given points that could be used to upgrade combot pilots, vehicles or structures.[11]
The game also places an emphasis on multi-level warfare. The battlefield is divided into three layers of combat: an orbital level, a surface level and an underground level.[2] Combots with flight capabilities are able to traverse at will between the orbital level and the surface level. Only vehicles are able to traverse the underground level, which must be entered from the surface, although a vehicle production facility can be built after an elevator has been built by a drill unit and builder units have been sent down.
