Metal Marines

Metal Marines is an isometric strategy game set on a post-apocalyptic Earth fragmented into islands. The conflict involves the player, leading Colonial Forces from orbit, against Zorgeuf the Great's Earth Empire. With conventional armies destroyed, warfare centers on the deployment of fifty-foot armored robots called Metal Marines.

Gameplay revolves around managing a base and its economy across a series of islands. The player must construct and upgrade various facilities, such as Energy Plants, Factories, and defensive structures, while protecting three underground command bases. Resource management is a constant requirement for funding these operations and for launching attacks.

Offensive actions include firing missiles, deploying Metal Marines, or launching ICBMs, each consuming different amounts of fuel. While most structures are stationary, Metal Marines operate with a degree of autonomy, engaging enemies with ranged or melee attacks once deployed, though the player can provide limited directional control. The integration of base logistics, resource allocation, and direct assault makes the strategic layer challenging.
