AboutMetal Tales: Overkill

Metal Tales: Overkill is an action-adventure game where Metal and Adrenaline collide to deliver the ultimate rogue-like 3D guitar shooter. Fight against the looming curse affecting your Metal brothers and free them from an ancient evil.

The God Kuk is possessing all the guitar gods, and through them, the metalheads. Through infinite concerts, he is helping his legion of metalhead zombies wipe out every original creation of metal bands and their dedicated fans. As legions of metalheads are stripped from their passion, only one person can really grind through the challenge and come out victorious.

Choose your path carefully through the procedurally generated levels and battle the evil hordes looking to destroy you at every turn. As each playthrough will be different, grab your guitar, don your ripped jeans and dive right back into the intense action one more time.
