Given the material it takes its inspiration from, Heavy Metal Death Can was designed with Resi-style tank controls in mind, but there will also be a ‘modern’ option for players who prefer that.

“Players must hone their skills to balance ammo, health, and risk in a world where cosy Swedish cultural staples clash with cold industrial brutality and deep sea horror.”
Heavy Metal Death Can will be released in 2026, but can be wishlisted on Steam now.
