Metal Fatigue is a 2000 real-time strategy and mecha computer game developed by Zono, Inc and released by Psygnosis in Europe and TalonSoft in the United States. The game's AI designer is Mark Baldwin and the game graphics were designed by Jason Hough. The game was released in France with the name "Metal Conflict."

The storyline takes place in the 23rd century and involves the story of three brothers' separation into three different "CorpoNations" as they end up waging war on each other. The CorpoNations are Rimtech, MilAgro and Neuropa. In the missions, Rimtech is customised as blue, MilAgro red and Neuropa purple.

Players have the option to play as one of the brothers in the single-player campaign mode, controlling tanks and other various units at ground level, in underground tunnels, or up in orbiting asteroids. The main units in Metal Fatigue are the twenty-story tall Combots, which can be configured and customized part-by-part and dominate the game. Different torsos, arms, and legs that can be created in the player's own factory, salvaged from a wrecked enemy Combot or amputated off an enemy Combot can either be used as weapons for attacking or as armour for defensive purposes.

After the game was released and received mostly favourable reviews, it quickly fell off the map. It gained almost no popularity in the gaming world, and even the official website ceased to update before the game was even released. It is next to impossible to find a copy of the game now, and if one manages to locate one, it can be expected to cost upwards of US$ 70. #redirect [[Template:Fact]]
