Zerouno Games has announced that Metal Tales: Overkill, a '3D guitar-shooter', will soon receive a crowdfunding campaign to launch on Nintendo Switch.
The game is an action-adventure title that has you fighting against a curse inflicted upon your metal-loving brothers, hoping to free them from an ancient evil. It features procedurally generated levels which will change each time you play through the game, and is already slated to launch on PC in early 2021.
The new Kickstarter campaign hopes to generate the funding required to get the game on Switch, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and will go live on 3rd December. You can see the page here and sign up to be notified when it goes live.
Metal Tales: Overkill features include:
- 50+ items: guitars, strings, pedals, amps, books and summons
- 15 different enemies
- 8 Guitar Bosses
- 4 playable characters: Are you more Metallica, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath? Choose your brothers!
- 3 environments: Enjoy exploring different environments like Metal Den, Metal Festival and Hell
- 6 procedurally generated levels: With randomly generated levels, no two games will ever be the same
- Local CO-OP
- Mission system to unlock abilities and upgrade stats between runs
- Original soundtrack and international metal bands’ songs from Eclipse Records

Sorry, but only 4 playable characters and 15 enemies? Is this the days of Flash games come back around?
Looks bad, but hey - it's metal!!!
A djental reminder that just because something features guitars doesn’t mean it rocks.
Another meh twin stick shooter, Xeno Crisis already got me cover so maybe next time.
This looks pretty bad.
It looks okay. I hate the screen shaking in the trailers. I wish that effect, which is so common now, was used sparingly or not at all. I know some games give you options, which is nice. I find that quite tiresome. The type of metal used in the trailer is not exactly my style, especially if the game's music has vocals. I'm more of a classic metal guy. As for guitar in games, Lords of Thunder comes to mind as a good example to follow.
Anyone remember Brutal Legend? Now that was a metal action game. Loved it!
Good and cool idea but seems ropey in the implementation. Guess the reviews will tell us.
Procedural generation, no thank you. I was kinda expecting something like an FPS from the description, but given that it's another twin-stick shooter... hard pass.
