Developer Zerouno Games shared a new Metal Tales: Overkill third trailer, showing off more of the upcoming action-adventure ahead of its release.
Metal Tales: Overkill is a shooter presented from a top-down camera style akin to Hotline: Miami and other twin-stick games, combined with a roguelike element of progressing through randomly generated levels.
The soundtrack is composed of metal tracks with heavy riffs and double bass drums to accompany your character as he launches projectiles out of his guitar. The game can either played individually or co-operatively.
