Heavy metal and video games

Open
Krahn

Heeeelllllloooo everybody!

I just finished Brütal Legend for like the fifth time, I like metal, video games and Jack Black. Needless to say, it's my favourite game!
Anyway, I saw someone somewhere saying that Brütal Legend is "one of the best heavy metal themed video game out there"... One of..? Is there more of them?!

I searched a bit and all i found is "THIS IS A HACK N'SLASH! SO IT'S LIKE BRUTAL LEGEND" or "TWISTED METAL, THERE'S METAL IN THE TITLE!"...
I know that there's not a single game AS metal as this one, but did you know any?
Also i'm sorry if me anglish is little suck x)

Thanks for the help brothers \m/

EDIT

Here's the list of all the answers, so maybe this thread can help others just like it helped me! Sometimes i'll put a little (the whole serie) but i'm just going to put a link to a random game of it, like for Painkiller, i've put the link for Hell and Damnation but for no particular reason.

PC:

OTHERS:

EXTRA:

Not metal, but made by the bassist of Lightning Bolt: Thumper
Not really metal either, but seem to have nice rock soundtracks (+ MuahahahaMeow think it's an AWESOME game x) ) The Cat Lady

The guilty gear games have great soundtracks, and characters named after metal bands like slayer and testament.

I've saw this one, but when it's mobile port i'm immediately... Dubious? Obviously there's gonna be a lot less content and sometimes bad controls... Did you play it? I'm scared of the "mobile game feel", you know, really repetitive and with slow upgrade cuz.. it's made for microtransactions x)

I'm playing it right now, I still have one achievement left to get. It's a pretty good time waster. The gold you need for upgrades drops rather quickly so it doesn't feel too grindy.

I'll give it a try then! A little expensive though i think, i'll wait some big sales... Like usual héhé
(I mean expensive for what seem like a "little" game)

It was bundled 6 times, I think you can get it for cheap from traders. I got my copy from Tremor Games, but I can't check if they still have keys in stock since I'm in another country.

I don't know Tremor Games, I'm only going on G2A for that kind of things and yeah, like 1.20euros!
Not really related but i've checked, it's free on Android and 1.99 for the "pro" thing to remove ads. On pc it's 8 euros and you only got these "+"..."Full controller support + KB+M, Revamped UI ,Camera Control, Rebalanced for Desktop, Steam Achievements/Leaderboards, Steam Cloud Saves"...(It's working normally on a pc with steam...) Aaaaaaaannnnd...3 Exclusive Indie Crossover Units. 6Euros for 3 units :m C'mon deeeevs

Quake 2 had a pretty metal asf soundtrack. The good ol' gibbing days.

Quake 1 if you consider old NiN metal. It's a close call for me

It still manages to crack me up everytime that they released a game called NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 eight years before they made an NFS: Hot Pursuit.
Agree on cool soundtrack, albeit it has rock and techno-rock, not metal.

Yep, I know, the old NFS3. Still ,it was just a sub-title there, not a sequence denominator. Plus they could have just called the 2010 one HP3. =) I mean, I know Underground eventually outshone HP2, but in its time, it was a pretty popular arcade racing game to remain memorable enough.

Full Throttle -- Not really metal, but has some of the vibe, especially since it's made by many of the folk responsible for Brütal Legend. Point-and-click adventure though, and some of the puzzles can definitely be stumpers.

Duuuude LucasArt AND Double Fine together?! That must be the best adventure game ever! And it look pretty metal to me! Or at least "Hard rock", the song in that intro is really cool! (The one in the link i'll put)
Big THANK!

Haha this gaaame! I have it on NES and it drive me crazy, always stuck near the end versus "Death"...
But well i don't think it's enough metal to add it to the list, sorry. Castlevania CoD has a more "obviously" metal ost.
Thank you guys!

Hey Ubermosh dude! :D I bought all the three games! Really an awesome arcade game! I don't reeeaaally like the soudtracks though, I found them really repetitive after a while, and it's the same ones for all the three games x)
Anyway, thanks again! \m/ I like to kill innocent people!... In video games... obviously.

EDIT: Heeey I just realised that's your fourth contribution to the list! You rock dude! \m/

Nooooooo that's not what i meant to say!!!! There are three Ubermosh games! Ubermosh, Ubermosh Black and Ubermosh Volume 3. That's three time almost the same game but with a little twist, and three times the same soundtracks!!! Damn, i'm not that retarded! Haha
In the begining i was looking for games about metal, just like Brutal Legend or Metal Tales: Fury of the Guitar Gods, but a lot of answers were for games with metal ost so i've added these to the list too, even more that a lot of these have a "metal spirit"!

Already on the list! I've put it into "Others" because according to talgaby there's no digital copy of the game, so pretty hard to find these days
