Metal Tales: Overkill is an action-adventure game where Metal and Adrenaline clash to give you the ultimate 3D roguelike guitar-shooter.

Fight against the looming curse affecting your Metal brothers and free them from an ancient evil.

The God Kuk is possessing all the guitar gods, and through them, the metalheads. Through infinite concerts, he is helping his legion of metalhead zombies wipe out every original creation of metal bands and their dedicated fans. As legions of metalheads are stripped from their passion, only one person can really grind through the challenge and come out victorious.

Choose your path carefully through the procedurally generated levels and battle the evil hordes looking to destroy you at every turn. As each playthrough will be different, grab your guitar, don your ripped jeans and dive right back into the intense action one more time. 

Will you manage to defeat all the metal gods, save the world and and secure your place as the ultimate Rock God?


As well as the digital versions there will be two special boxed Nintendo Switch editions of Metal Tales: Overkill available to fulfil your Rock God fantasies. The Deluxe Edition, published by Tesura Games, will include a full colour printed manual, a themed guitar pick and an awesome sticker sheet all in the box. 

The special boxed Collector’s Edition, published by Zerouno Games, is the ultimate metalheads dream and packs in the sticker sheet, guitar pick and colour manual as well as a stunning 56 page artbook filled with some of the awesome artwork from the game and a magnetic bottle opener all delivered inside a specially created Collector’s Edition box.
