About Metal Masters

Metal Masters is a robot fighting game where two opponents face off in one on one combat. Victory is determined either by depleting an opponent's life bar for a knockdown or by accumulating more points from successful hits before time expires.

Combat operates in two distinct modes based on proximity. At a distance, players select which weapon system to fire from four available body parts. When close, they control the direction of melee punches. All strikes earn both points and prize money, with a significant bonus awarded for winning a match.

The prize money funds a persistent upgrade system. Players can purchase new parts for the main body, legs, and individual arms. This progression introduces a strategic layer, as enhancing your robot also increases the difficulty of subsequent opponents. During a fight, players have the option to let the AI control their robot.
