At the heart of the mechanized war against humanity is the mother computer NOA, which has become so powerful that it has reduced even the world’s greatest cities to rubble in its conquest to crush humanity.

You play as ‘Talis’ and you embark on a quest to find and unite the remaining human survivors in one final battle to throw off the oppressive yoke of the machines once and for all. It’s a war that will be won or end in the total obliteration of the human race.

There is an open world for you to explore with your furry companion Pochi. If you don’t feel like battling mechanized armies on your own, you can add up to 3 friends to your party in the game’s co-op mode.

As you progress, you can level up your character’s skills and abilities from 5 different skill trees, including ‘Drive,’ ‘Repair,’ ‘Medical,’ ‘Militia,’ and ‘Survive.’ The more abilities you learn and upgrade the deadlier and more versatile your combat techniques will become. 

The 5 skill trees also allow you to build a character that will fit your playstyle and make the game more enjoyable for you.

You can salvage tanks and vehicle parts in the world, which you can then use to build new tanks and vehicles to use in your war against the machines.

‘Metal Max Xeno Reborn’ is developed by ‘Kadokawa Games,’ and will become available on Steam on the 10th of June 2022.
