Play Metal Max Returns (english translation) Online

Metal Max Returns is a 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System release from Crea-Tech, a game that quietly arrived late in the SNES lifecycle. It occupies a distinct corner of the 16-bit era, a post-apocalyptic role-playing game that trades high fantasy for diesel fumes and desert sands, offering a different kind of adventure for players who had seen everything else.

You control a bounty hunter, customizing a tank and taking on jobs to hunt monsters and outlaws across a vast, open world. The main goal is to earn enough money and parts to upgrade your vehicle into a formidable weapon, though you can also explore on foot in towns and certain areas. Signature mechanics include deep vehicle customization, where you can swap out engines, armor, and an array of weapons like cannons and machine guns, and a non-linear structure that lets you tackle objectives in almost any order. The pacing is deliberate, often requiring careful resource management and strategic retreats from overpowering enemies. It feels like being a mechanic and a mercenary at the same time, piecing together your own survival in a world that does not care.
