How it feels

A fast and explosive arcade-like mech shooter that feels like a nostalgic 90s simulator modernized with punchy action and customization.

What players say

Players compare battleMETAL to Mechwarrior 2 and Earthsiege but opinions split on whether that comparison holds. Some praise its retro 90s feel, weapon customization, and mod support, while others call it unfinished with clunky controls, slidy movement, no leg animations, crashes, and poor balance.
