🎮 Play Heavy Metal 315 5135 Online (Arcade)

Developed by Sega and released in 1985, Heavy Metal is a top-down, vertically scrolling arcade shooter where you pilot a heavily armed tank. Rather than being related to the music genre or the famous magazine, this fast-paced sci-fi game tasks you with blasting through enemy lines across four distinct stages.

How to Play

Your main objective is to survive the auto-scrolling environments while taking out enemy tanks, turrets, and aircraft. Use the arrow keys to maneuver your tank and avoid incoming fire. Press Z, X, or C to fire your main cannon and launch missiles at heavily fortified targets. To begin, press 5 to insert a coin and 1 to start.

Tips

• Since the screen scrolls automatically, focus on clearing a safe path ahead of you rather than trying to destroy every single enemy on screen.
• Save your missiles for durable targets and clustered enemy formations, as they offer much better clearing power than your standard shots.
• Keep moving continuously to avoid being pinned down by crossfire from the edges of the map.
