Metal Saga (2005)
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
Themes:Open world, Action, Science fiction, Sandbox
Story:A follow-up to the Metal Max games, Metal Saga is set in the same post-apocalyptic world as its predecessors - a world populated by bounty hunters, rangers, bandits, and mutant monsters. You take the role of a bounty hunter who has to travel the world, looking for "wanted" people. Accompanied by a soldier, a mechanic, and a cyborg dog, the hero must survive a journey west that will ultimately take him to remote places and lead him to battles against evil.
Metal Saga has a less linear story line that one would normally expect from a Japanese RPG - a story line that develops according to the missions you decide to take, which in their turn lead to new events and finally to different endings. The combat system features traditional party management and turn-based battles, with the addition of Metal Max's trademark tank combat. When you acquire tanks for your characters, you can use them in battles. Tanks get damaged and broken, but you will be able to customize them by finding parts scattered across the world and assembling them to build new models. Based on the model of tank many different kinds of weapons, cannons, and accessories can be equipped to it, making for hundreds of different options. Tanks can even be given a custom paint job that is saved to the memory card.Show more

this is the only RPG game where it features real life tanks from WW1,WW2,there are 2 vehicles which are not combat effective however the second truck is needed to enter the sunked ruins dungeon on the western continent.
An RPG where you can get a good ending before even getting out of the first cutscene, simply by admitting that adventure isn't always the best path in life. And make no mistake, you get an ENDING for admitting that. There's about 3-5 minutes of ending from that choice, and it makes the game really feel awesome that it actually tells you about the adventure you missed, while not downplaying that you DID have a happy life.
Mind, it also gives you clues on how to find two of the more hidden sidequests, and the game itself is a blast to play. Finding a dog able to battle tanks, doing battle with a cult dedicated to body building, or just hunting down the next bounty since you need it to keep affording your 'spells' which cost not MP, but cash.
This was a great time, and I hope it comes to GOG. If not, I'll always have my memories.
Great game! Under appreciated
