Hoplon has launched the open beta for its rock-and-roll racing game Heavy Metal Machines on the PC.
The title is a hard rock vehicular action combat multiplayer game, and it’s kind of a cross between Mad Max and a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game.

The four-player team that manages to decimate the enemy’s base first wins.
