Heavy metal machines character abilities5/16/2023 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.
