Our take on Metal Fatigue
The defining structure is its three-layer battlefield: forces can fight in orbit, on the surface, and underground at the same time.
What is Metal Fatigue?
Metal Fatigue is a real-time strategy game built around battles on three levels: orbit, the surface, and underground.
Players build and customize Combots, develop a base, and command forces against attacks that can come from above or below. Three factions—the Milagro, Neuropa, and Rimtech—have different technologies and research capabilities. The solo campaign contains 30 missions, with a separate ten-mission campaign for each faction, following three estranged brothers at war. Multiplayer offers 30 maps and missions for up to eight players over LAN, with cooperative and death match modes. Combat options include airborne assaults using hover jets and combined arms.
