Metal Quest is set in unknown number of years after the end of modern human civilization. The survivors clustered into villages and began to live among the ruins, and those who fought the monsters and robots outside became known as hunters. You are one of them. Your job is to complete quest, trade and upgrade your vehicle in order to defeat monsters and outlaws and collect bounties on them.
