Metalheart: Replicants Rampage Image
  • Summary: Metalheart: Replicants Rampage is a tactical role-playing game set in the devastated lanscapes of a strange planet lost among the stars. Lead your team to success using smart tactics, explore a huge isometric world, experience unique cybernetic body implants and tactical turn-based combat. The player controls a team of up to 6 members. A team can be formed during the journey from the following races: replicants, cyborgs, mutants and nomads. Each of the groups has special abilities, e.g. cyborgs are good in combat, mutants are healing experts, nomads are masters of camouflage. Allying with different groups changes the flow of the game: being hostile to nomads opens the way to getting friendly cyborgs or mutants to provide new quests. A lot also depends on the composition of the team; for instance, a pure cyborg team requires a different strategy than mutants or nomads. The usage of futuristic items and body implants influences the abilities of each character in an extraordinary way: roentgen eye extenders allow the character to look through obstacles,health converters initiate self healing of a character, teleport implants make a character jump from one place to another during combat. The variety is huge. Every character experiences a personal RPG-development during the game. On level up the player may increase some of the character values such as dexterity, strength, intelligence etc. The unique development of a character makes him specifically special in his skills.

  1. The frustration of RTS interrupting RPG is maddening beyond belief, but you won't understand what's going on anyway, so it's not worth the worry. [Christmas 2005, p.102]
  2. Unfortunately, it's an uninspiring, flawed and ultimately a failure. Avoid the like the proverbial plague.
  3. A Fallout-style, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic story that's missing everything expected by any self-respecting RPG gamer. It's a fight to play this game and I don't see how the developer could miss out so many features that are key to a good RPG.

    It is a good Fallout continuance. If you dont like the game, you should patch and then play. It is very different, and much better.

    The art quality is basically up to snuff, otherwise this is pure shovelware. Played it for an hour before my patience ran out, and I was positively giddy before I booted this PoS up. Bad for the most astoundingly pointless reasons, it's like they never booted it up and playtested it -- overall suffers from an unresponsive interface, combat is a chore due to there being 3x as many Action Points and 10x as much Health as there should be, and I know I remember designing more well thought-out RPG systems when I was *eight*. I'm overlooking the cringe-worthy voice acting, but not the fact there's no working quest journal which can make progress impossible if you forget to write down something that turns out to be necessary.
