Easy and exhilarating basic game system
The "flashy battles" inherited from "Metal Max" have been made into a casual "rogue light action" game that anyone can easily enjoy.


A true end-of-the-century world of devastated Nippon
The stage is set at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, where the human race is on the verge of extinction. Many familiar monsters and bounty hunters from the series appear, and you can also enjoy episodes that lead to the latest title, "Metal Max Wild West".




A challenging game design and volume
As the game progresses, a series of quests with a rich variety of challenges await the player. If you want to become stronger without rushing ahead, you can either accumulate power by repeating the same quests over and over again in order to increase your level and receive weapon drops, or you can equip yourself at the base stores that sell weapons, armor, recovery items, and other items.
