Metal Max Xeno yesterday received a new trailer and information on its limited editions, and now Kadokawa Games has further updated the main site with extra info on the different features and newly introduced characters.
The Hunter Life
After arriving at Iron Base, Thalys is introduced to Po-, and the other members living within, then soon gets sent to scout the surrounding areas. This is the beginning of his journey for revenge.
The field is full of treasure scattered around, waiting to be discovered. With the obtained equipment, you are able to customize the tank to have different specs.
Within the field are also various ‘Vester Ports’, warp points that can be used to quick travel.
Thalys and his allies will need to explore Remains, which are too small for tanks to enter. As this means they will be fighting in person, players should make sure they are properly equipped for the challenge. If Thalys and the party falls in battle, they will be warped back to Iron Base with Po-M’s help.
In the Remains are important scientific information which will raise Iron Base’s Technology Score. As Tech Score is raised, so does Tech Level, which increases customization options and list of producible weapons.

Dylan (CV: Yoshiaki Kawabata)
