Metal on Metal: Anvil The Video Game



For my storytelling class, we were asked to design a video game based on one of the documentaries that we watched. Anvil!: The Story of Anvil was chosen for my group.

Brief level descriptions:

Toronto, Canada:

“We are Anvil!” - A tutorial level and first gig.

“Hard ‘N’ Heavy” – Brutal Age Records have taken notice. Gather more fans!

“Test Your Might” – Brutal Age CEO signs you up for a tour in Sweden and Japan. Take flight and prove your worth and secure that contract!

Norje (Sölvesborg), Sweden:

“An Axe to Grind” – Rival band, Beardkiller, is introduced. They are also after the Brutal Age Records Contract. There can be only one! They steal your money while you perform!

“Swedish Meatballs to the Walls” – Stranded with no money and an impenetrable language barrier, use the power of metal and do some quick odd-jobs to gain cash and fund your way out to the next venue.

“…And My AXE!” – You made it to the next venue, melt faces and gain some fans, Tokyo awaits!

Tokyo, Japan:

“Domo Arigato Where’s my Guittarru?!” – Arrive at Tokyo International Airport. While doing some promotional work, a crazed fan steal Lips’ prized guitar. Do some detective work, hunt him down!

“Wangan Highway Battarru!” – The crazed fan is a street racing enthusiast. Challenge him to a race and win back Lips’ guitar before the show.


“Metal on Metal” – Burn-Up Metal festival! Beardkiller front-man is revealed to be a robot from the future sent back in time to prevent Anvil from rising to awesomeness. Final duel commences with the rival band, Beardkiller. The winner takes the contract!
