To our esteemed Heavy Metal Machines Community,

It is with a heavy heart and at the same time with a huge feeling of gratitude to our Community that we announce that Heavy Metal Machines will no longer have content updates such as Arenas, Characters, and other features. Tournaments such as Metal League and Metal Clash will also be discontinued.

Heavy Metal Machines is a big project that has brought us many challenges and pride throughout its development since 2015. But every game has a cycle, and after six years of entire focus, the HMM development cycle has reached its end. Throughout our journey, we brought many gameplay improvements, visual redesign, new Arenas and Characters, Metal Pass, Training Mode, moved from Leaderboard to Ranked Mode, created the Teammates Finder feature, launched the Metal League, Metal Clash, Colosseum, in addition to all publishing initiatives, culminating with the release for consoles earlier this year, where we reached a record volume of players, improving matchmaking and bringing us much joy.

Heavy Metal Machines servers will continue to operate normally. We will also have the release of Metal Passes, Ranked Mode Seasons, Colosseum, as well as support for Community Tournaments.

We want to extend a big THANK YOU to all Metal Gladiators who support Heavy Metal Machines on a daily basis. Your dedication made it much harder for us to move forward with this decision. We sincerely appreciate the involvement and love you show for the game.

Finally, we thank our amazing team, who, through hard work and talent, have produced a game as unique as HMM. As for the future, the Hoplon team will concentrate efforts on other projects that are yet to be announced.

Thank you very much!

Hoplon

Here is CALAMITY, the Bomb Stealer.
She has just arrived in Metal City to bring chaos to the Heavy Metal Machines' Arenas!
Calamity is a Transporter with weapons that allow her to STEAL the Bomb!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The orphan of the greatest scientists who understood the Bomb’s technology, born in the Sand Seas and self-raised in the Swamps. Her cometh to Metal City aims to take down the Tournament and all those who take part in it, showing everyone the true meaning of “disruption.”

Her Passive ability is called “The Power of the Bomb.” She grew up so close to the Bomb that it is now part of her life. When she is carrying the Bomb, the Machine will gain HP, increased damage, weight, and size.

Calamity’s Weapon 1 is “Meritocracy,” which launches a claw forward dealing damage to enemies, and may also attach to the Bomb and pull it into her possession. This is the only Machine that can steal the Bomb from enemies, creating a new range of strategies.

The Weapon 2 is “Dodge Back.” It will instantly thrust the Machine backward and deal damage to any enemy close to her. This is very useful to avoid damage and dodge enemies. Even more, if combined with Weapon 3, “Dodge Forth,” which is the opposite version: It instantly thrusts the Machine forward and deals damage to enemies nearby.

Her Special ability is “Full Throttle.” As the weapon’s name says, she will put the pedal to the metal and gain speed as long as you keep the Special Weapon button pressed, consuming Special Weapon Energy over time.

CALAMITY, The Bomb Stealer is already available in Heavy Metal Machines.
Play now!
