Don’t miss Metal Max Xeno Reborn now that it’s on PC, PS4, and Switch
[This week Destructoid is brought to you by Metal Max Xeno Reborn, out now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC (via Steam). This is a sponsored post.]
The long-awaited Western release of Metal Max Xeno Reborn is finally here on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC, and Pochi the cannon-packing pooch is calling your name.

If you’re looking for an easy entry point, Reborn is definitely it — it’s a new-and-improved remake of 2018’s Metal Max Xeno for PS4 and PlayStation Vita. In an ongoing war against the supercomputer NOA, you’ll join the fray as Talis.
While exploring the wastes of Tokyo Bay on foot and in a fleet of heavy-duty vehicles, Talis will band together with fellow survivors to fend off machines and save what’s left of humankind.

As your party gains experience points and scavenges for parts, you’ll learn new combat techniques and have more heavily-armored toys to play with — customization is the name of the game here. Just don’t forget to feed Pochi
