Metal Max Returns

The Super Famicom entry in the Metal Max series, developed by DATA EAST and set in a barren post-nuclear wasteland. Players drive deeply customizable tanks through the desolate world, taking on bounty missions and hunting mutant creatures and dangerous outlaws. The game is celebrated for its open-world exploration and its flexible tank modification system, which lets players freely swap main cannons, engines, and armor plating, all layered over traditional RPG character progression. A darkly humorous post-apocalyptic setting, irreverent storytelling, and an exceptional degree of freedom have made it one of the most fondly remembered titles in the series.
