In depth

A closer look at Wild Metal Country

Following a devastating civil war centuries ago, the Tehric system became deserted. Now solely feral war machines inhabit it. They have had a thousand years of unnatural selection in which to evolve into the ultimate hunter-killers. They've made good use of the time. Humanity wants certain secrets located in the Tehric system, but these automated defense systems still outclass most modern weapons. Fortunately, you'll be using the latest technology - but that'll only get you so far…

Wild Metal incorporates the best aspects of first-person fighting games, driving games and classic arcade style action. Wild Metal has been created using absolutely huge environments, complete with real-time lighting, dynamic shadowing and weather effects, dozens of enemy on screen, and full hierarchically animated characters. Gravity, traction, shot trajectory, magnetism, and inertia combine to give Wild Metal Country an unparalleled feeling of realistic movement. Vehicles handle differently on different surfaces. Explosions cause targets to rock violently. Mines roll down hillsides into the massed ranks of enemy waiting below.

The action takes place in huge, open-air arenas, consisting of mountains, hills, valleys, plains, canyons and deserts. You can use vantage points to observe the movement of enemy forces and use the elevation to drop a few carefully placed shells into the middle of things. Moving away from real-time strategy elements and the ubiquitous corridor based fighting games; Wild Metal is a new generation of action game.
