Details

Metal Thunder invites players to step into the intense role of an AC-130 gunship commander, merging the iconic AC-130 missions from Call of Duty with the addictive survival mechanics of Vampire Survivors. Inspired by the gritty realities of active war zones like Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Iraq, Metal Thunder places players in high-stakes battlegrounds across fictional regions like Strakovia and Karbastan, where they must protect their base from endless waves of insurgents. Each 20-minute mission is a fast-paced test of tactical skill, aiming precision, and resilience.

As players rain firepower from above, they’ll face increasingly challenging enemy formations, demanding quick decisions and strategic use of their gunship’s arsenal. With upgradable weapons and abilities, players can customize their AC-130 to suit their preferred tactics, whether it’s unleashing maximum firepower, focusing on precision targeting, or fortifying defenses.

Developed by a solo indie creator dedicated to high-stakes, immersive gameplay, Metal Thunder stands out in the roguelike genre with its intense aerial combat and strategic depth. With regular updates planned to introduce new missions, enemies, and upgrades, Metal Thunder ensures a fresh and evolving experience for players ready to master the skies and defend the ground below.
