Metal Tales: Overkill Coming to Switch in April, Getting Physical in Europe
Zerouno Games has announced a release date for Metal Tales: Overkill, its rock music inspired rogue-like 3D shooter. The game is now confirmed to be launching onto the Nintendo Switch April 22nd, 2022.
Metal Tales: Overkill will initially be sold on the eShop. However, two special boxed versions will be made available on Switch in Europe (Sorry everywhere else). Tesura Games is planning a Deluxe Edition with a full color printed manual, a themed guitar pick, and a sticker sheet all in the box. Zerouno Games is also readying its own Collector’s Edition featuring the sticker sheet, guitar pick, and color manual, as well as a 56-page art book filled with some of the artwork from the game, and a magnetic bottle opener.
Zerouno says the physical versions “will have extremely limited numbers available at launch and more details on how to purchase these will be released soon.”

About Metal Tales: Overkill
Metal Tales: Overkill is an action-adventure game where Metal and Adrenaline collide to deliver the ultimate rogue-like 3D guitar shooter. Fight against the looming curse affecting your Metal brothers and free them from an ancient evil.
The God Kuk is possessing all the guitar gods, and through them, the metalheads. Through infinite concerts, he is helping his legion of metalhead zombies wipe out every original creation of metal bands and their dedicated fans. As legions of metalheads are stripped from their passion, only one person can really grind through the challenge and come out victorious.
Choose your path carefully through the procedurally generated levels and battle the evil hordes looking to destroy you at every turn. As each playthrough will be different, grab your guitar, don your ripped jeans and dive right back into the intense action one more time.
