Description: MetalArms is a music rhythm VR game. Players will be immersed in the fantasy time, wearing robotic arm armour to fight against powerful enemies. The game contains a wealth of levels and a variety of skills to choose from, and there are also pleasant endless modes for continuous challenges.
Review: MetalArms is a weird one for sure, at its heart, the game seems to be mostly a Music and Rhythm game, but it is also a sci-fi action game in which you battle giant bosses. It looks good I suppose, but as with so many other games in the same genre, the beat mapping doesn’t bear any resemblance to the music being played making the gameplay feel pointless and empty. At least it is cheap I suppose making it something that might be worth a look if they improve it a little, but until that point, I simply can’t recommend it.
