The Game

MetalChaser is a 3D arcade shooter enhanced with RPG elements. You steer a mighty fighting machine, called Mech, through the postapocalyptic deserts of Earth. Through a basic skill system you can improve your Mech matching your style of playing. In four upgrade categories you can further equip your mech from the wreckages of your enemies. Your Goal is to finish the levels as fast as possible whilst eliminating as many enemies as you can. The best Players will be honored in our Highscores.

Because of the short amount of time we had, our engine does not in any way meet any present standards, so please, do forgive us for that.

MetalChaser was developed using:
