Metal Venture is a freeware portable top down shooter game for windows.
It has RPG elements, many features and a Level Editor allowing you to create your own adventures! A nice game created by VDWELLER using Game Maker 7. It took him almost two years of developing but the result proved that it worth it. Metal Venture was inspired by another top-down shooter game the "Robokill".
