The Bottom Line

Metal Fatigue is a real-time strategy game that follows the story of three brothers caught up on opposite sides of a war over the riches of long dead alien civilization. Set in a fully 3D world with multiple camera angles, Metal Fatigue stands apart from the genre with its numerous innovations: giant, re-configurable Combots ; 3-Level Play, artificial intelligence from award-winning game designer, Mark Baldwin; and a pre-build phase that gives the player a enough time to establish their base before being attacked. In Metal Fatigue, players will manage their units and resources across three levels of play simultaneously. In addition to the planet surface , action takes place in underground catacombs and caves, and on orbiting asteroids. A unique map feature allows the player to see all 3 levels at once.

The game's unbalanced units, as well as a few interface problems, cut it short of its potential.

Just one more of the group of unremarkable strategy games on the market already.
