Heavy Metal Machines (HMM)[1] was a car battle MOBA video game developed and published by Hoplon Infotainment. HMM was a free-to-play game available on Steam, where teams of four battle on arenas with a post-apocalyptic scenario with highly armed machines. The primary objective is to deliver a bomb on the enemy team base while trying to overcome your opponents and avoid the arena's hazards. The overall theme of the game is based on heavy metal music and its culture. The game was in production since 2013 and was officially launched[2][3] in 2018, September 19.
One of the main inspirations for the game was the classic Rock n' Roll Racing, originally released in 1993 for the Super NES and Sega Genesis, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, but also on arena games such as the vehicular combat titles Rocket League and Twisted Metal.
On May 3, 2022, it was announced that Heavy Metal Machines would shut down on August 30 the same year.[4]
