Product Details

Metal Masters is a 2D robot fighting game where you pilot a customizable battle machine that looks like a walking toolbox with anger issues. Instead of complex lore, the story is basically: “Evil robots exist, you have arms, now go make them regret their design choices.” You upgrade your mech with different heads, arms, legs, and torsos, turning it into either a graceful killing machine or a wobbling tin can that trips over its own punch animation. Matches feel like two construction cranes slapping each other, and victory goes to whoever presses attack slightly more thoughtfully than a toddler mashing the D‑pad. The Game Boy graphics give everything that charming “tiny monochrome Gundam drawn on a sticky note” vibe, while the sound effects make it seem like every hit is a car crash in a junkyard. Limited Run’s reprint just means collectors can now pay modern prices to experience early‑90s robot bullying on real hardware, the way nature and old batteries intended.
