Ultimately, Eddie transforms into a winged demon which the player can use to fly above the battlefields to issue orders or to lay out attacks. Once the player has collected their army, they can then seek out to attack their opponents using their army as minions or directly with the main character. A character called Mangus acts as the 'sound guy' to help in the construction of these units. Eddie is also able to control squads, and order them to perform certain tasks, such as having a group of Headbangers use their headbanging to destroy statues.Įddie can create an army for attacks by tapping Fan Geysers, done by playing a special Fan Tribute guitar solo. Each ally will have a special co-op move they can perform with Eddie for example, Eddie's first ally, Ophelia, can be tossed at foes by Eddie in the style of the 'Fastball Special'. The player will also be able to find real metal songs, selected by Schafer for the game, that can be played on the Deuce's radio, 'The Mouth of Metal,' with the user able to add or remove songs that they wish to hear.ĭuring the game, the player will meet several allies for Eddie. There are reportedly about 23 main missions in the story with 30 side missions that the player can optionally take. These are similar to the note-matching aspect of Guitar Hero or Rock Band, and can summon objects, damage enemies or strengthen allies, among other things. The guitar is also able to create various other effects through special guitar solos that Eddie (and certain other characters) can perform. Eddie cannot use the magic generated by Clementine constantly, as it will become too hot to play, and the player will have to wait for a cooldown period before using the guitar's power again. These tools can be used in combination with each other to take out Eddie's foes for example, the player can use Clementine to create pyrotechnics to knock a foe into the air and follow up with a baseball swing from the Separator to knock them away. Upgrades to these tools are found about the world and can also be purchased using in-game currency called Fire Tributes at a Motor Forge. Eddie acquires three tools that are used for combat and transportation: a broad axe called The Separator, his Flying V guitar Clementine from his own world which has the ability to cast magic spells in the heavy metal world, and a hot rod that Eddie builds called the Deuce, a.k.a. The player controls the protagonist Eddie Riggs, a roadie who one day finds himself stuck in a fantasy heavy metal world.
