Metal Arms: Glitch in the System is a third-person shooter developed by Swingin' Ape Studios and released in 2003 for Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube, with later availability on Xbox 360. Players control Glitch, a robot who allies with a faction known as the Droids in an armed conflict against the militaristic Milbots commanded by General Corrosive. The game blends action and adventure across its campaign, placing Glitch at the center of an escalating robot war. Combat is the primary focus, with players engaging waves of mechanical enemies throughout the game's progression. The premise draws on a straightforward conflict between resistance fighters and an authoritarian military force, framed entirely within a world populated by robots.
