Metal Rage: Defender of the Earth is a shooting game in which the player controls a tank inside city environments. The game is completely in 3D, and both an inside and an outside view are offered. The tank can carry multiple weapons (shells, missiles, mines, drones) which can be used against the various enemies like police cars, helicopters, assault tanks and turrets. It's also necessary to collect items and key cards that deactivate force fields. An innovative graphic productionfeaturing a brand new 3D Graphics Engine, Metal Rage combines the tense atmosphere of a tactical strategy simulation with the mindblowing thrill of top quality 3D shoot-em-up.
Story
By the year 2030, the Earth has become so overpopulated that new planets have to be colonized in order for the human race to survive. All military forces are assigned to aid the settlement of the first pionners on the planet Aragonia. Soon after they leave Earth, it is attacked by Aliens intent on wiping out all humankind! The only Weapon available to Earth is a prototype high technology tank, the TK2003: code name METAL RAGE. As the only remaining military forces on the planet you are helped by the resistance who provide logistics and strategic support. By pirating the enemy computer network, they can also supply you with information and equipment drops. Utilize the different camera angles in your battle with the alien hordes.
