Heavy Metal Machines is a one-of-a-kind 4v4 multiplayer arena combat game where you deal devastating destruction to the beat of a raucous heavy metal soundtrack.

Heavy Metal Machines is a one-of-a-kind 4v4 online multiplayer arena combat game, retiring tried-and-true fantasy heroes for unique vehicular death machines, piloted by a cast of larger-than-life post-apocalyptic road warriors that deal devastating destruction to the beat of a raucous heavy metal soundtrack. The Heavy Metal Machines closed beta will feature eight playable characters and a progression system to unlock unique skills, skins and abilities. A training mode and daily quests to challenge beta participants will also be available. 

In a post-­apocalyptic landscape ravaged by its own inhabitants, society has been reforged through metal and madness. A new breed of gladiators delivers mayhem and relentless destruction through visceral vehicular combat. The rules for the arena are simple: two teams enter, one team leaves. The four-player team that succeeds in decimating the enemy’s base first wins. Forget gasoline - the Heavy Metal Machines and their insane drivers run on pure adrenaline!


Heavy Metal Machines has received a scary update featuring limited time character models.

Little Monster, Rampage and Black Lotus get theirfan-favorite outfits resurrected for “Heavy Halloween”, giving them a mysterious ancient mummy appearance. ("Curse of Nefertem"), poisoned spiders ("Arachnophobia") or even a brain-exposed Frankenstein monster on wheels ("It's Alive").

In addition to this spooky content available in the ingame store, Heavy Metal Machines has also summoned back a Halloween skin for the Artificer character, a pumpkin-witch-bat look that seems straight out of hell. This time, however, players can earn the "71st Witchcraft" skin entirely for free by completing 40 group matches on Steam with friends until the 20th November.

All new skins are from the Heavy Metal category, and change not only the characters’ looks, but also their abilities when equipped and will be available until the 4th  December.

Key Features:

  • Free-to-play MOBA: 4v4 multiplayer car battle with a heavy metal theme.
  • A Legend Reborn: Narrated by Larry Huffman, of Rock ’n Roll Racing.
  • Choose your role from three main classes: Interceptor, Support, and Transporter.
  • Fourteen Deadly Drivers: 14 playable characters with their own characteristics and backstories. From Little Monster, a child hell-bent on seeking revenge for the death of her father, to Dirt Devil, a pirate leader from the Wastelands who hunts the giant sandworm that cost him an arm and an eye.
  • Three Hellish Arenas: Temple of Sacrifice, Metal God Arena, and the Cursed Necropolis already available to play.
  • Just the Beginning: More content constantly updated and new characters, arenas and game modes on the way.
  • eSports Championships: Planned competitive tournaments featuring cash-prizes to fuel the game’s eSports scene.
