Metal Dogs

Metal Dogs is a top-down shooting action game set in Japan after the “great destruction” has killed most of humanity. You play as a dog battling monsters in dangerous dungeons, using simple controls to fire weapons and take on powerful WANTED targets.

Pochi’s search

The hero Pochi was revived by the mysterious old scientist Dr. Minchi. After his master leaves him behind, Pochi sets out from a devastated village at the foot of Mt. Fuji to search for them. You can play as three dogs: Shiba Inu Pochi, Doberman Bell and Bulldog Bonanza.

Weapons and equipment

Machine guns, cannons and S-E special equipment are your primary weapons. Machine guns have lower power but fire and reload quickly; cannons deal more damage but carry fewer bullets and reload slowly; and S-E equipment, such as missiles, can attack at range. You can assign weapons freely to three slots, allowing you to configure your loadout, including equipping cannons in all three slots for an attack-focused setup.

Weapons and armor can receive random additional effects, including increased damage and magazine capacity. Equipment also has a rarity, with higher rarities granting more additional effects. Hunting monsters for better equipment is part of the game’s item-collecting loop.

Dungeons and WANTED

Dungeon terrain and treasure chests change each time you play, so revisiting the same map can offer a different experience. Especially dangerous monsters are designated WANTED, with prize money offered for defeating them. They include the elusive giant tank Rommel Ghost and Missileceros, a heavily armored rhinoceros equipped with missiles.

Early Access content

The Early Access version includes over 25 quests, more than 5 types of WANTED, over 35 types of weapons and more than 10 hours of play time.
