Heavy Metal Thunder

About

Heavy Metal Thunder is an action game developed by Media.Vision and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 console. It was released in Japan exclusively. Production companies Satelight and How Full's participated in the creation of the game. GAMEPLAY: The game pits futuristic robots against one another in wrestling matches. The player controls a robot during battles using a four-icon menu. Three actions-strike, guard and grapple - can be executed at any time and augments the player's "beat meter". The fourth action, called "beat attack", can be performed once the beat meter is filled and inflicts special damage according to how hard the button is pressed. Icons sometime shake to indicate that they are recommended, but the player must react quickly as each turn is timed. A rock-paper-scissors set of rules determined the winner of each pair of actions.
