Mad Metal
Steam

You don’t walk into the apocalypse. You drive through it.
In Mad Metal, you’re Jack – a rugged police officer with nothing left to lose in a dystopian America where sentient AI corporations run brutal televised tournaments. Your daughter is missing, your world is burning, and the only way forward is through the arena.
Build and customize your vehicle, dive into a mix of story-driven missions, open-world roguelite runs, and fast 5-minute deathmatches, and carve a path through hostile factions who remember what you did last run.

Dystopian America, 2080s. AI-controlled corporations run lethal tournaments, and the only way to save your family is to enter the arena. Strap in, floor it, and carve a path through a world that would rather see you dead than free.

Swap parts, tune your loadout, and install augments that change how your car handles and fights. Every attachment has a cost in weight and aerodynamics, making each build a strategic choice, not just a cosmetic one.


Use the Dead Aim system to precisely target engines, wheels, and weapon systems. Disable, disarm, and dismantle enemy vehicles with surgical strikes – or just ram them into a wall and watch physics take over.


Dashboard instruments provide vital information about your vehicle and allow you to use side-arms while immersing yourself in the driving experience.

Seasons shift, terrain changes, and the environment pushes back. Mud, snow, storms, and dense vegetation all affect how your car performs and how your weapons behave, forcing you to adapt on the fly.


Unravel a dark narrative in Campaign Mode, push your limits in open-world roguelite Exploration Runs, or jump into 5-minute Arena deathmatches for quick bursts of metal-on-metal chaos.
