Metal Hunter

A rough, affectionate take on the old tank-and-human JRPG formula. You cross a ruined wasteland in armed chariots, hunting monsters and wanted criminals for bounty, with turn-based fights, party building, and more than one ending for your trouble.

Is Metal Hunter worth it?

Metal Hunter is worth it if…

  • you like retro 2D pixel JRPGs with top-down exploring
  • you want turn-based fights that switch between humans and tanks
  • you enjoy hunting monsters and wanted criminals for bounty
  • you like open worlds with dialogue and multiple endings

Tanks, bounties, and a broken world

You are one of the Metal Hunters, the drivers who keep battered chariots running when everything else has fallen apart. You roll across open country in 2D top-down pixel style, get out on foot when the job needs humans, and switch back when it needs cannons.

Work comes in two flavors: monsters to clear out and wanted criminals with prices on their heads. Fights are turn-based and tactical, with a party to build and dialogue to wade through between jobs. It is story-heavy, deliberately retro, and openly unfinished — an abandoned experiment from 2012, so expect rough edges alongside the bounty hunting.
