    This is probably the only real time strategy game so far by 2006, which has AIs assembling mechanical bots (the large androids people think are Gundam Wing action figures). Intuitive and original... only thing missing... map editor. If you buy the game, know that the fights will be more reckless skirmishes than strategic manuvers like any other real time strategy games.

The most fun I have gotten out of this game was probably just building a base with killer robots and make it look cool. You play in the skies, on the surface, and underground. Your robots also fly!

    Good game but hard to beat w/o cheating cuz the AI gets exponentially tougher as the game progresses, and it can work on three maps simultainiously while you can only work on one.

    It's what I like to call a concept game; Great ideas but the implementation is a little rough. With a little more polishing this could be an A-title.

    The gameplay is solid, but there is very little supporting it, and oh so very much holding it at bay.

    Without the 'Bots, Metal Fatigue is just real-time strategy grizzle, with them it's neat, cool, fun, even occasionally challenging.
