Metal Mutant

Об игре

Metal Mutant is an action game, where you control the eponymous machine, sent to the planet Kronox to find and destroy the insane computer AROD 7. Each level is not side-scrolling fluidly, but is divided into separate screens; upon getting to the edge of one screen you move to the next one. The Metal Mutant has the ability to transform into 3 different forms: humanoid, dinosaur and tank. Each form has different capabilities. For instance, the humanoid form can jump and the tank can shoot missiles. You'll need to change form often depending on the situation, as most obstacles and enemies can be only beaten by a specific form. Throughout the game, apart from fighting enemies (and bosses), jumping, climbing and so on, you will find additional upgrades which will give you more abilities. You'll also encounter recharge station where you can regain health.

This naturally brings us to the controls, which I felt to be a bit awkward. To activate equipment you’ll have to press and hold SHIFT and use the different numpad keys. You’ll get used to it after a while, though. As a hint, there’s a more defined way to change shape: F1 for humanoid, F2 for dinosaur and F3 for tank form. The keypad controls only forward your shape by one step (Humanoid > Dinosaur > Tank), which can prove annoying at times.
