Metal Arms: Glitch in the System is a Third-Person Shooter released in 2003.The story begins on the war-torn planet Iron Star which, as fate would have it, is populated completely by robots. Under Colonel Alloy, the Droids have formed a resistance against the Milbot forces of the evil General Corrosive. On a routine patrol, a robot of mysterious origin is discovered by the rebels and brought back online to aid against the Mils. Having no memory other than his name "Glitch", he is quickly called into action to aid his new allies.Much ass-kicking follows as Glitch, unsurprisingly, turns out to be quite handy blowing enemy mooks to pieces. What follows is 42 missions of shooter action featuring some vehicular destruction, controlling ally characters and hacking enemies for good measure. Due in part to its limited commercial success and its reputation for being unkind to the casual gamer it's something of a underrated gem for its fans. For those who got past the tough gameplay there was a lot to like. Fun characters, novel weaponry and a light-hearted story made for a unique third-person shooter. |

Chekhov's Gun: The brief focus on Glitch's apparent Morbot symbol likely meant the planned sequel would elaborate on his connection to the precursors. As the sequel was cancelled, this question was left unanswered. |

Suffer the Slings |
| | Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (Video Game) / int_885a5be7 |
comment |
Suffer the Slings: The Slingshot seems like an out-of-place weapon in a futuristic robot world, though considering the Droid Rebellion's lack of resources it's justified. It's also quite useful in that it allows Glitch to throw grenades farther and more accurately than he normally could by hand. |

Precursors |
| | Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (Video Game) / int_92286f7f |
comment |
Precursors: The Morbots, creators of Iron Star. Unusual for normal precursors, they were said to still be around and just underground, generating power that seeps to the surface and is used by the Droids and Mils (though until the events of the game, everyone's still scared boltless of even trying to go see them, as "no-one has come back alive"). But then it turns out they've all mysteriously vanished anyway, although their cities are still in perfect condition, and they left behind swarms of tiny robobugs. It's implied they all went on an exodus into space, and since everyone's still scared of going down there because of the aforementioned "none came back alive", it may have been recent. It was also implied Corrosive was intending to follow them. |

Shout-Out Apparently level design was inspired by Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Corrosive rising from the burning ruins brings to mind the Terminator. Titans are a lot like ED-209. The name of the first driving level ("Wasteland Thunder") is one to Hydro Thunder. Swingin' Ape Studio was founded by developers of that game. |

WhyDontYaJustShootHim |
| | Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (Video Game) / int_c85cb635 |
comment |
Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him?: Glitch, the single biggest threat to the Milbots in existence is captured and sent off to be executed gladiator-style instead of destroyed on the spot. Somewhat justified by the fact he wasn't strictly known as the sole Bot to have taken out all those Mills before. He'd destroyed more or less every Mill witness. Although the policy of having rebels killed off in a grand arena seemingly For the Evulz, instead of quickly executing them, is definitely this trope. It seems villains are compelled to make public executions complicated and spectacular. Tragically averted in the Non Standard Game Over in the Droid Town levels. All surrendering Droids are executed by firing squad. |
