A unique feature of Heavy Metal F. Julie is right-handed so she'll always wield her sword in her right hand. This leaves her left to hold a shield or gun. You can switch it around to hold the gun in the right hand and a shield in the left not a bad combination. Some weapons require two hands to operate, but this freedom is a nice addition to the genre. I am a bit put out that it takes so long to change out weapons, but at the pace of this game, this rarely becomes an issue.
I have a few minor complaints and one major complaint. First, though Julie can execute a wild variety of moves, she is rarely called upon to do so. It's great that she can cross monkey bars, but if she only needs to do this once, and she does this only when no other solution is available, why bother doing it? Wouldn't a rope-crossing have achieved the same effect?
I suppose that gets to the heart of the problem with this game: the levels are beautiful, but play like first efforts and they rarely take true advantage of the third-person perspective. Julie can duck, so why not include a few places where she needs to duck?
Julie can swing Tarzan-style on ropes and vines, so why not include a few more? More importantly, why not allow the player to decide how a particular challenge should be approached - whether that be running, jumping, climbing, rolling or swinging? Instead, Julie faces not only linear gameplay in the broad sense of the game, but at the most discrete decision level of the game. I often felt like a Pavlovian dog. When they said "jump" I jumped.
When they said "duck" -- that one time -- I ducked. Good doggie. I was more disappointed that the weapons, while very fun to use, aren't really very interesting. A sword is a sword in this game, whether is burns with fire or glistens with electricity it is but a slashing weapon.
The guns are nice - especially the akimbo Uzis, but not especially original a Herculean task these days. Of curious note: Julie is always equipped with a sling and rocks.
I am not sure what Ritual had in mind with the rocks and sling but this item is absolutely, positively useless. Rocks barely annoy the enemy and fly an incredibly short distance. They are difficult to aim and not fun to use. So why in the world do I have three types of rocks to use? I'd be much happier if I could tie an extra ammo clip to my thigh using the leather sling. The major complaint I have about the game is its brevity. As I mentioned earlier, I really wanted to play this game to its very end.
I was having a blast, was involved in the storyline and wanted to finish the game. But I was completely blindsided by the pace of the game. Before I knew it or expected it the game had come to an end.
Surely, I thought, this is a false ending. I'm being tricked. The bad guys aren't really vanquished. I'm just getting started! Initially, Heavy Metal F. But it ends far too quickly. Heavy Metal F. Like a sitcom it is predictable and shallow. For that reason I have a very difficult time recommending this game. I've played demos with more gameplay. Without a multiplayer option or multiple difficulty settings to lengthen the experience, there isn't enough here to warrant a purchase. After five hours of play I was almost ready to give Heavy Metal F.
After 10 hours of play I was finished with the game, never to play it again. That should tell you all you need to know. Screenshots from MobyGames. Mind 0 point.

All thats important running this game on windows 10 x86 and works fine, bit of stuttery sometime, but could be some setting or other i dont know, and the resolution doesnt matter too much either u have the lowest or highest, i have the stutters in the same spots, so might be some compatibility issues, or driver, dont know, game despite that works quite well.
Its not that stuttery that its unplayable. So download. ISO, rename. U should be good.
