![]() ![]() There is a surprisingly wide variety of bands that licensed their music, and you’re able to listen to the tracks as a bonus feature from the menu as well. Metal Tales: Overkill certainly delivers here, with a soundtrack that -as we mentioned- consists of real tracks from actual metal bands including Striker, Nereis, and Nameless Day Ritual. When a game is built around a music genre, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a lot of thought was put into the soundscape. It was still manageable on PC, but we imagine that this will be an issue in the Switch version of the game. We did feel like things were a bit too zoomed out and too dark when we were actually playing the game. The game’s excellent use of lighting effects really helped to bring the rooms to life and we didn’t notice any visual performance issues during our time with the game. ![]() The in-game character models capture the spirit of the artwork seen in menus and in the opening scene, albeit a bit more simplified. The character and enemy designs look fantastic with a special mention for the Guitar Gods themselves. In this regard, Metal Tales: Overkill is a visual joy. Zerouno Games have absolutely nailed the visual aesthetic of metal, with Metal Tales: Overkill embracing an art style similar to what’s often seen in band logos, album covers, and promotional material. It’s up to our nameless hero -who we assume is the last unpossessed Guitar God, though this is never explicitly stated- to use the power of metal to save his former friends and bandmates… or die trying. Subsequently, the possessed Guitar Gods spread their evil influence at metal concerts, turning their metalhead fans into mindless zombies. The scene explains how an evil deity transformed the Guitar Gods into monsters. The entirety of Metal Tales: Overkill’s plot is delivered in the game’s opening scene, which consists of a short comic, narrated by our protagonist. After a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2020, the video game Metalocalypse is finally upon us: Zerouno Games have launched their metal-themed top-down shooter Metal Tales: Overkill on a variety of platforms! Featuring a curated selection of songs from real-life metal bands and comic book aesthetics, is this the game that metalheads always dreamed of, or are they better off sticking with Gal Metal? ![]()
