Metal Walker, known as Bakusou Senki Metal Walker GB: Kotetsu no Yuujou (“Roaring Chronicle Metal Walker GB: Steel Friendship”) in Japan, is a role-playing video game for the Game Boy Color, developed and published by Capcom. Many critics likened the game to the Pokémon series, but praised the game’s unique qualities. In Japan, the game inspired merchandise based on the Metal Walker robots. Metal Walker’s battles are unique from other games in the genre due to their billiard-style nature.

Players move their Metal Walkers across the battlefield by hitting them into items, walls, or enemy Metal Walkers. Metal Walker takes place late in the 21st Century when a valuable and evolving metal known as Core is discovered on an island. Military leaders sought to use Core to develop weapons, but an accident turned the island into a ruined wasteland. The Rusted Land, as it is called, is where the game takes place.

Because of the research, the island is scattered with malicious robots known as Metal Busters. Fifty years after the accident, the main character and his father Tetsuo Kurama have devoted their lives to search for lost Core Units on the island, but the game opens as the father is separated from his son as a gang of Metal Busters attack. The main character and his Metal Walker, Meta Ball, must then search for his father on the island.

Professor Hawk, Tetsuo’s employer tells the main character that his father will be found where there are Core Units, so he then goes to seek them out. Although Metal Walker is a console RPG, battles are fought in a pinball or billiards-like atmosphere in a top-down perspective arena. As each turn of the battle starts, players decide which direction a Metal Walker will move and how hard they will move.

Players are encouraged to form strategies that allow Metal Walkers to hit a single enemy, bounce off a wall, and then hit another enemy, all in a single turn. On the battlefield, players can throw several different types of items onto the field. The items are used when a Metal Walker hits them. Capsules and healing items strengthen and heal Metal Walkers, whereas attack items, such as Napalm, are only useful when the enemy hits them.
