About this game

Hammerfist is a side-view action game with adventure elements set in a grim future controlled by genetically modified beings. After two droids, Hammerfist and Metalisis, malfunction, they come under the player's control.

Switch between the male Hammerfist and female Metalisis at any time, using their differing abilities to overcome each screen. Progress requires defeating all enemies and destroying the robots that keep the doors locked.
