This game is exactly what it seems. A perfectly simple jrpg, with great turn base combat and custom tank building. If you are looking for an old school throw back to kill time with this is perfect. Combine with spotify play list for extra enjoyment. Pairs well with the band Clutch.

Metal Max Xeno is an RPG that was originally created for the PS Vita but has received an upgrade for the PS4. Unfortunately, the upgraded graphics are still low quality, but that was to be expected. The story is basic and you play the role of a character who has lost everything and is now a "hunter". Using tanks and fighting skills, you fight monsters and robot frequently in a barren desert. The desert came about from the destruction of the world essentially, so the environment is pretty bland. The music is unexciting and at times annoying. The only thing really going for this game is the interesting characters, besides the main character of course, and the combat. The combat is your classic turn based style with different skill and attack options commonly seen in other RPG's. Also there are a lot of references to sex in this game, but that is fine, as it makes you laugh a little at how outlandish it can be. Overall this is a good game for those who don't expect much from an RPG and like PS Vita style games.

This is basically the definition of a 3 star jrpg.

It's a post-apocalyptic tank-based rpg with fairly detailed customization options that kick in maybe five hours into the game, solid background music that's constantly cut off by random battles popping up like whack-a-moles, game balance that lets you steamroll minor encounters (sometimes even before combat has started, if your main weapon is strong enough) but gives you no warning for when you're about to run headfirst into a difficulty spike, and bland, same-y environments, plot, and pacing that are offset by the occasional cool character beat or monster design.

Even though it's got a long pedigree, I can see why this flew under the radar like it did.

The Metal Max series stretches back to the NES, and has like nine entries. This is one of the two that was ever officially translated and brought west, and it's not a strong showing for the series. It's also technically a port, and this may cause issues. For me, a good 1/8th of the bottom and right corners of the screen was constantly lopped off---an issue I haven't run into with any other ps4 game---and Xeno sometimes likes to put information there, so if you're like me, you'll miss stuff.

Xeno is also extremely poorly tutorialized, and it gives you both too much information when you don't want it and no information when you do. There's also no unofficial guide for the game I could find online short of just straight up watching someone else's youtube playthrough, so you'll be without a safety net for your playthrough. I did find some forum posts talking about how the endgame gets real grindy, but that's about the extent of it.

And unfortunately, this creates some secondary problems.

If you do decide you want to buy this, go online and see if you can figure out how to run from combat first.

The game doesn't tell you, and I couldn't find this info anywhere online, and about 7 hours in you run into random encounters that you either need to grind into the moon to get past, or you need to learn how to run.

According to the in-game settings, L1 is auto-run, but this doesn't seem to mean what it sounds like it means, and no button, combination of buttons, or submenu option let me escape from regular, random battles either.

Anyway, if you can find out how to run from combat, you're probably safe to buy this. I don't think I'd recommend it over Wild Arms 3 (which does a similar setting way better) or basically any modern jrpg on your play-list, but the tank customization *is* decently fun, and I wish it had a better rest of the game to go with it.

This game is interesting. I picked it up as I love NIS games and this tank / vehicle / party mechanic sounds awesome. Unfortunately the games quality is just middle of the road, not really polished, and obviously done on a low budget. What I will say though is they obviously had very talented people involved as the story, design, and things are great - the game just isn't deep in the areas it could be. Still fun - but you will most likely move on after a few days/weeks of play.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the only remaining turn-based RPG's... with tanks.
Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2020

Every single RPG nowadays has generic live action with idiotic AI controlling your allies, along with obtuse, barely-if-at-all functional leveling systems.. This one allows you direct control of everything, along with extremely detailed tank modification. Let's be honest, this is the true leveling system of the game. The characters do level up, but there is only one optional boss that requires you to fight on foot. This said, the character leveling system is a lot more functional than any other RPG, with good combat skills that are often just as relevant in tanks as they are on-foot. If you want to, you can fight on foot whenever you want, (more relevant for NG++), but you can also stuff everyone into a single, overpowered tank.

The Metal Max series was born in 1991, but first came west in its Metal Saga spinoff on the PS2 and it never really caught on. From all reports, it was a fine game, but it was aimless. The series quietly packed its bags and continued on in Japan largely out of sight, so it's kind of weird that NISA would bring over the latest of the series without any kind of promotion whatsoever. Looking at it, you can't really blame them since the game would feel right at home on the PS2, not the PS3, which makes it even more surprising that NISA would localize it. To be fair, it's an upscale port of a Vita release, but it's still got all the trappings of a PS2 RPG. But does that make it bad? Not at all.

I picked this game up on a whim from the Amazon store, quite literally stumbling upon the listing while browsing for cheaper games and it was shelved the moment it got in the door in favor of bigger, 'better' games; however, as AAA becomes less and less appealing to me, I dug into the backlog and pulled out Metal Max Xeno, thinking I'd play it for an hour or so, but ended up sitting for several hours in one session. While it won't blow you away with cutting-edge graphics, cinematic cutscenes, or grand set pieces, it is strangely compelling in the same way a dungeon crawler might tickle your fancy in that there's always some cooler stuff around the corner if you just take the time to go get it.

Essentially, take the concept of Mad Max, but replace nutty cars with nutty tanks and throw in a large heap of Japanese quirkiness. For example, one of the earlier bosses in the game is quite literally a giant rhinoceros with cannons strapped to it. Alternatively, the very first person you find in the wastelands is a half-naked girl complete with unnecessary cheesecake artwork (though the art is admittedly beautiful). The story goes that some AI decided that humans are bad and killed pretty much most of them. You are one of the handful of survivors of this catastrophe and of course, you are looking to get even. All you need is a tank.

For all intents and purposes, Xeno is a true-blooded JRPG from yesteryear and wears the badge proudly on its chest. In typical fashion, you have wide-open spaces with random encounters, out-of-the-way chests, dungeons with challenging sub-bosses, and a ho-hum storyline with borderline-offensive character archetypes. It does little to challenge the genre, but what it really delights in is its customization mechanics.

As you roam the wastelands of post-apocalyptic Tokyo looking for survivors and a way to take down the big, bad AI, you'll be discovering a bunch of vehicles and hot-swap components with which to outfit them. The true joy of the game is in how much you get out of discovering weapons and accessories and loading them into hardpoints on a tank. Fiddling with your loadouts and finding the right sets to get you through any situation, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and 'breaking' the system is the real draw for Xeno. Sure, you'll go on a fine adventure, but the real reward is surviving the side routes for that sweet loot. It's not as involved as Armored Core, mind you, and the whole tank thing is really a thin layer laid over top a very standard JRPG, but there's just that little something compelling that kept me playing. Perhaps that's why NISA took the time to bring it over here.

In short, Xeno is a traditional JRPG in every sense of the word with only a small twist of post-apocalyptic tank love and plenty of whacky Japanese-style nonsense but with a deep and rewarding customization focus. If at heart you really enjoy finding cool loot, you'll get a kick out of Xeno. If you're looking for a traditional no-nonsense JRPG experience, you'll find a lot to be satisfied with as well. If you're looking for Fury Road the game, however, this ain't it.
