Gameplay
Much of the gameplay is similar to its predecessors, Metal Max and Metal Max 2. The game is open-ended and non-linear, with the player given the freedom to decide where to go and what missions to do in whichever order. The player can choose the character classes and subclasses, besides a mechanic, soldier, artist or other, for the player characters. The battles are turn-based, with the characters able to fight either on foot or using tanks. The tanks can be created and customized by the player, who can modify and enhance each part of a vehicle, though there is a weight limit to each tank which mostly depends on an engine. In certain areas where tanks cannot pass, the characters must engage the enemies on foot. The game also features gambling machines where minigames can be played, including third-person shooter and racing games.
Synopsis
The protagonist was picked up and revived by mad scientist Dr. Minch. However he suffered from severe memory lost and cannot remember anything about himself. Therefore, the protagonist decided to travel around the world as a bounty hunter, in order to retrieve his memories and find out his true identity.
Development
Since numbered predecessor Metal Max 2 was released in 1993, original publisher Data East planned to release a new entry, but then it got into trouble. During this time, a Dreamcast game named Metal Max: Wild Eyes was planned to developed, and it decided to publish by ASCII Entertainment, however the game wasn't published finally owing many reasons. There were also some other companies want to develop a Game Boy game, but they given up this plan in the end. In 2003, Data East announced bankruptcy, and trademark was registered by others. And then the series was published by Success as the new name Metal Saga. Enterbrain invited producer for making a new game in 2008, and obtain original treadmark in 2009. The game was published on July 2010 by Enterbrain's subsidiary Kadokawa Games.
