I didn't realize it before but I guess the name of each character is affected by the name you give to your main character. My soldier's name was Sakura so apologies if the achievement name seems weird..
malasdair 10 Nov 2021 05:18
So uh if you're having difficulty with the Dead or Alives like I was (I hit L11 and was nowhere near strong enough for Mad Muscle...) you can recruit the Soldier and just kill your main character for almost the entire rest of the game. Incredibly funny way to play, if you ask me.

MGNS8M 30 Dec 2021 20:07
Hm, I didn't realize it was that hard, I was just checking what my own play was and what a Youtuber's play was and loosely averaged them. But if that works I guess it's interesting, because the Hero is your best tank-skill user, so having them be lower balances them out a bit more.
markdarkness 6 May 2022 10:28
Desperate to see Metal Max Returns get its achievements. Maybe even the same ones as these roughly.

MGNS8M 6 Jun 2022 16:19
I do like the series, but I feel like MMR is a slight downgrade from this version.. the music isn't as punchy and the gameplay feels more sluggish. But I wouldn't mind looking into it some day..
markdarkness 6 Jun 2022 16:45
@MGNS8M, interesting consideration. The main selling point of MMR to me is how, due to its QoL and graphics improvements, it's much easier to recommend to people who are not as involved in the retro scene. This series is really underrated and unknown, so any way to make it more accessible to new players is something that always stands out to me as positive.
Chuckles 22 Nov 2022 01:23
This was a very charming and unique game. I urge all RPG fans to give it a shot.

I also had trouble with Mad Muscle because I recruited the Soldier late so she was low level. I had to kill off the rest of the party and solo level her. As long as you get the Soldier up to level 10 or so you'll be fine.
markdarkness 22 Nov 2022 14:42
Woohoo! Just noticed this set is live. It's awesome that suddenly we have MM 1 and 3 with achievements.
MGNS8M
MGNS8M 12 Aug 2023 23:10
Let's see... I'm actually only going to list 2 or 3 achievements as Progress since "technically" you could beat the game by just walking to the last boss besides those few gated-bosses and win. "The End" is a Win Condition, but you must have those Progression achievements and have beaten the last boss for it to work.
markdarkness 13 Aug 2023 07:28
MGNS8M it's beautiful that Metal Max is weird like that lol
MGNS8M
MGNS8M 13 Dec 2023 20:01
Well I don't think Mad Muscle's low-level-challenge was really that bad.... I did end up killing off "Hunter" but mostly to let Soldier catch up on levels...with Hunter and Soldier at 11 and Mechanic at 12. Although it was the blaze bottles that did most of the damage, it didn't take too much time to get it without outright cheesing it.... I think it helps that the open-world nature of the game lets you get better weapons/armor from farther areas..
WanderingHeiho 21 Dec 2023 20:20
Mastery #440: I'm conflicted with this game. While the system with the tanks of managing the weight of your weapons, chassis, and armor plating was fun and not something I see too often, the menus are just way too clunky to go through, I still never figured out how to remove the Acid status effect from a tank, as the item to cure it would either just give me the description, or be wasted and do nothing.
Definitely ambitious for the system, but I don't think I can say much more than that.
Thanks for the set MGNS8M.

Would love to see a set for SNES MMR.

For some reason I had a much harder time this go-around getting Scorched Factory to open up. Part of me feels like you must tow a tank out of Ghost Base because that was literally the only thing I did differently on the last attempt to trigger the fire-starting...
MGNS8M
MGNS8M 10 Jan 2024 17:06
It feels weird saying it for being such a "recent" game for me, but I have to say this is my favorite NES RPG. It can be a little awkward at times, and it's probably hard for others to get into just because of all the things you need to learn or do, but I feel way more comfortable playing this than FF1, M1, or DQ1.
markdarkness 10 Jan 2024 17:55
The Metal Max series in general is criminally underrated.
MGNS8M
MGNS8M 26 Jan 2024 17:56
Hmmm.... part of me wants to highlight the fact that you CAN get the Thunder Blaster tank-weapon immediately south of Canabelle as one of the World-Map hidden-treasures achievements. I didn't add it because I believed what they said, that you can't get it(and couldn't have detected it before) .... but this go-around I found out that you can.

I'd hate to reopen the game and ask everyone to come back and re-Master over one item, though. Not sure. If I did, I feel like I would steal one point away from another insignificant achievement and keep the total-points at 450. The actual act of getting the item isn't worth more than 1 point really, once you know how to do it.
markdarkness 26 Jan 2024 18:02
After 16 masteries it doesn't seem worth it? You could bundle this task with another treasure finding achievement with no cost to current players, however. The Metal Max 3 set uses this tactic for more spread treasures, actually.

So maybe:

"Find the 220mm Gaea gun on the world map near Scorched Factory, as well as the Thunder Blaster tank-weapon immediately south of Canabelle."
MGNS8M
MGNS8M 26 Jan 2024 19:46
Well, I did do that for the beach-items, so I guess it's not out of place since those two items are really close to each other. I guess for the time-being that's an easy-enough solution. However, I will openly document how to get it since I don't see it mentioned anywhere directly:

Just exit Canabelle(either direction) while in a tank, then walk left, face-downwards, then use SEARCH. Walking on the town while already-on-it will not cause you to enter the town, so you're free to walk left, face-down, and get it.
markdarkness 26 Jan 2024 20:22
A "(See comments)" at the end of the achievement'a description might be helpful.
