You’ll have a few quips and bits of dialogue here and there, but unlike another car combat game, Twisted Metal, you don’t get anything here to present those personalities to you. While there are fun and engaging designs for each of the 17 racers, they generally lack any sort of personality. This blandness translates to other aspects of the game as well.

It’s like if the Price is Right wheel had only 2 options but you see it spin, hoping for more options to suddenly appear. The game also has a map select animation that looks incredibly bizarre because it simply spins through two maps. Now, speaking of how there are only two levels, I played nearly fifteen matches before I even lucked out to see the second map. Each level has a few banners flapping around in the wind, or a rotating section to push against you as you traverse over it, but each of the game’s two locations feels far too static and devoid of life. Now, while you have all these things that make running the bomb a more challenging experience, the levels themselves, as there are only two of them, rarely feels alive. There are a variety of pitfalls, such as drop zones that will take the bomb-ball away from your car if you pass through them, lava on the corners that eat away at your car’s health, and force fields that turn off shortcuts while you’re pulling the bomb behind you.

Think of it as a top-down version of Rocket League, but the path to the goal is a maze-like series of straightaways and turns that must be traversed to gain access to take your shot into the goal. Heavy Metal Machines is a 4 v 4 game of car racing soccer.

While the game doesn’t require PS+ to play online, Xbox Live Gold seems to be a requirement, at least for now.

That said, the game does offer up some free drivers at the start, as well as a rotation system to keep some aspects of choice a bit more freeing than what other free-to-play games usually corner you into. Having access to each character felt far more natural, and honestly, I don’t know if I would enjoy the game as much being so restricted in my choices. Some have become fast favorites, whilst others, such as the support class, simply didn’t do it for me.

This made me wonder how many players are actually investing their time, and money, into the game and whether or not a few months down the road if it’ll still see enough players to flesh out consistently full lobbies.Įvery once in a while, I’m treated to codes or promotional goods for games like this, and yes, my review is based on such an unlock code unlocking each and every racer for me to get my hands on.

However I’ll also stress that games like this live and die by the support of its community, and with no bots to flesh out partially filled lobbies, matchmaking, even with cross-play switched on, took an average of about 3-4 minutes per game in most cases. From the get-go, even with many cars being unlocked for new users, there is enough here to get you started, to give you a taste of what to expect when putting down some actual money to unlock a car that sings a bit more true to what you want from your mobile enforcer.

The Battle Pass, which contributes to many of the game’s unlocks is, at the time of this review, free as well.

The game is free-to-play, and console users can now finally play the game that has been on PC for the last two years even going as far as offering a good chunk of unlockable cars and items for free. ‪‪Hoplon Infotainment‬‬’s efforts here with Heavy Metal Machines is certainly at least worth the download. When the game isn’t however, it can feel frustrating, bland, and unimpressive. When Heavy Metal Machines is firing on all cylinders, the game is electric, fast-paced, and will have you screaming at your TV when your shot has been intercepted at the last possible moment. Being free-to-play, you’ll have to work around the confines of that model to find a car that works for you, as each car varies in its purpose and function. Heavy Metal Machines certainly invokes many car combat games of the past, albeit in a MOBA-like format that in many ways, serves as a basis for the game’s overall enjoyment.
