This is an anti-Dragon Quest game.
In fact, the catchphrase was "I'm tired of slaying dragons!”.
But Dragon Quest doesn't often slay dragons, and the producer was a key staff member up to Dragon Quest 3, so there was an episode of panic when this ad was released. It's a bit of an outburst by the advertising manager (laughs).
A simple description of the content would be "Fallout" with tanks and armoured vehicles.
I'm embarrassed to say, the only Fallout I've played through to the end is Fallout 3. (1 and 2 were not translated for a long time. The Japanese translation we have now is also done by volunteers)
When I first played Fallout 3, my first thought was.
"It's like MetalMax in 3D! I love it!" That was it.
It's still an interesting concept game to play today.
I've been waiting for a remake of the original MM for a long time, but no matter how long I wait, it never comes, so for now it's best to play the SNES version.
The philosophy of MetalMax
The creator of the series, Mr Miyaoka, said in an interview.
"We do things that DQ doesn't do.
In terms of direction, I wanted to leave the DQ-like things to DQ. In short, I thought, "The fun of RPGs should not be limited to the fun of DQ. There must be something else that's fun. That's why I decided to go in the direction that DQ was not going.
So I decided to go in a direction that DQ didn't go. I said, "If you want to tell a good story about a brave man who is guided by God and saves a princess and makes the world peaceful, go with DQ. I said, "I'll do a story that's not like that.”
So I decided to make a story in which the hero is not a hero, but a useless son of a local factory, and he saves the world without any intention of doing so.
[omitted].
The protagonist of Metal Max is not a hero who is guided by fate. The story of a young man of noble blood wandering the lowly world and becoming a hero is one of the patterns that have been told in various stories since ancient times, but I've always had a problem with the "noble" part of the story.

Metal Max is an RPG, but you don't have to role-play. Because you are the hero of this game."
