Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Deep within a vast underground weapons complex known as Force Valley, one faction of humans tries to gain the upper hand by creating super-enhanced cyborgs. One of their experimental cyborgs, Magin, escapes and creates an army of enhanced weaponic monsters, turning Force Valley into a Metal Dungeon. Players must assemble their teams to plunge into the depths and root out the monsters.

Players choose from five character types--fencer, striker, analyzer, caster, and broader--for building their teams, which may be further enhanced by finding or buying chips and implanting them into characters. Players can add to their team by finding and reanimating the corpses of fallen warriors and transforming them into one of five unlockable character classes. Metal Dungeon can be played by a single player (who may control up to six characters) or by multiple players each controlling their own character and their actions simultaneously.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this game!, November 21, 2003

This review is from: Metal Dungeon (Video Game)

Overall, a huge disappointment. The AI stinks and the combat system is terrible. Graphics are the only decent part but cannot overcome serious flaws in the game ... keep this game at arms length.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Xbox Title..period, January 15, 2003

This review is from: Metal Dungeon (Video Game)

I can't believe how bad this game is. All the previews and demos made it look great. Then I actually bought the game and was completely disappointed.

The graphics are ok, though too polygonal and plastic for my liking. The gameplay is beyond simple, just walk around a randomly generated dungeon and kill things. Combat is handled automatically by the computer, or you can do some basic manual control to fight the enemies off, but not much.

There is literally no plot. You just hack around the dungeons killing things.

2.0 out of 5 stars It has a few good points, but...., February 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Metal Dungeon (Video Game)

Many people have said it already: this game is repetitive. Much of the game uses the same graphics. The "real time battle system" is novel at first but gets boring after a while. The game has decent music but it gets old after a while. Like I said the repitition kills it.

What the game has going for it is randomness. You won't get bored exploring the dungeon, because it's always different. The item chests are all random, so you could get stuck with bad equipment, or get lucky and find something cool.
There's also some strategy to the game. You get to make up a party of up to five characters, and you get to pick the class for each of them. (You can also pick a face type, and alter the body shape, but these features are kinda a joke.) There are also five other "hidden" classes you can change to part way through the game.

One cool thing is when your party dies their bodies are put into a cyrogenic morgue thing, and you have to start a new party to retrieve them. Only problem is it's to easy to just load your game. Just be sure to save often.

Bottom line: this game has it's good points... but they don't out weigh the bad ones. Probably the only people who'd like this game are those who play Diablo II for hours and hours, just trying to find items and make characters.
