Metal Mutant Overview
Metal Mutant is a DOS action game centered on a mission to the planet Kronox, where the objective is to locate and eliminate a rogue computer designated AROD 7. The player's mechanical protagonist can assume three distinct configurations, each granting specialized functions required to overcome specific environmental challenges and adversaries.
Progression occurs through a series of discrete screens rather than continuous side-scrolling, with advancement contingent on completing local objectives. The gameplay involves frequent form-shifting, combat against standard enemies and bosses, and navigating platforms. Found items provide new capabilities, while designated stations allow for health recovery and saving progress, making the overall experience challenging due to its situational demands.
