Game description: Blast your way to victory as Glitch, the gun-slinging, half-ton menacing bot of Droid City. Found as scrap metal, but transformed into destructive machinery, Glitch is determined to free his people from the evil clutches of General Corrosive and his maniacal army of Mil bots. As you venture through 40 missions, you'll find 17 deadly weapons, a variety of vehicles, and enemy bots that you can control. Annihilate the General's sinister plan to dominate the world and salvage the robot race.
Metal Arms is set on a fictional planet known as Iron Star, which was built by an ancient race, known as the Morbots, out of scrap metal and space junk. The Morbots are rumored to inhabit Iron Star's core to the present day, where none of the surface dwellers dare venture, for fear of deactivation and destruction.

Known Issues
Graphical glitches
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: There are numerous graphical glitches all around.
- Workaround: Go to Config > Emulation Settings > Speedhacks tab, and disable the "mVU Flag Hack" speedhack.
HUD graphical glitches
- Status: Active
- Type: Minor
- Description: In both software and hardware OpenGL modes (other renderers not tested yet) there are occasional flickering artifacts on some elements of the HUD. The gameplay is unaffected.
- Workaround: No known workaround.
Loading glitch for Zombie Bots
- Status: Active
- Type: Major
- Description: The Zombie Bots will not show their rebuilding animation. This can also bug out levels like Wasteland Journey where, in some cases, it is not possible to complete the level until applying the workaround.
- Workaround: Enable "Simulate VIF1 FIFO read ahead" in the emulation settings > game fixes.
Non-Issues
Analog button needed to fire a certain weapon
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: The Mining Laser level 2+ has a charge attack and requires a pressure sensitive button to work properly. With a simple button it is not possible to use the normal firing mode as the charge attack is initiated at every press.
- Workaround: For controllers with analog triggers (like the Xbox 360 controller or the Logitech F310/F710) it is possible to assign R1 to one of the triggers. Then a light press of the trigger will result in normal fire and a full press of the trigger in the charge attack.
