What Metal Max 4: Gekkou no Diva Is

Metal Max 4 is a role-playing game built around a ruined world where humans survive alongside tanks, bounty hunters, and roaming monsters. You control a party that explores an open wasteland, takes on bounty contracts, and upgrades vehicles with scavenged parts. Combat blends on-foot encounters with vehicle-mounted weaponry, so you'll juggle character gear and tank loadouts as you progress. The game's structure rewards curiosity: side quests, hidden bosses, and recruitable characters sit off the main path, and the DLC content in this package extends that optional layer.

Because the title is region-locked to Japan (JPN) and ships with Japanese-language text, the CIA files here are intended for players who either read Japanese or are comfortable navigating a Japanese RPG menu system. If you prefer English-language action games with a similar metal-and-mayhem theme, you might enjoy UnMetal Free Download (v1.0.11), a stealth-action title that leans into the same tongue-in-cheek tone.

Key Features

• Vehicle-centric combat: Fight with tanks and custom rigs, swapping weapons and armor as you find new parts.
• Open wasteland exploration: Traverse a sprawling post-apocalyptic map dotted with towns, ruins, and bounty targets.
• Bounty hunting loop: Accept contracts, track monsters, and collect rewards to fund upgrades.
• Party and character progression: Build a team with distinct roles and level them through encounters.
• Update 1.1 patch: The included update brings the game to its patched 1.1 state for stability and fixes.
• DLC content set: The separate DLC package adds extra content on top of the base game and update.
• CIA format: Ready to install on custom firmware 3DS systems via DevMenu, BigBlueMenu, or FBI.

What's Included in This Package

This download is split into three distinct pieces so you can install exactly what you need. The base game CIA is linked separately, while the Update 1.1 file (3.1MB) and the DLC file (44MB) are provided as their own archives. The full base game CIA is 872MB, which is the figure reflected in the specifications table above. Keeping the update and DLC separate means you can re-apply just the patch or just the DLC without re-downloading the entire game.

The update and DLC archives are distributed through multiple mirrors — OpenLoad, ZippyShare, LetsUpload, and 1Fichier — so if one host is slow or unavailable, you can switch to another. The direct links are preserved below.

Installation Guidance

You'll need a Nintendo 3DS running custom firmware to install these CIA files. Place the .cia file properly on your BigSD Card, then install it using DevMenu, BigBlueMenu, or FBI. Install the base game first, then the Update 1.1 CIA, then the DLC CIA. If you're extracting the RAR archives, use a current version of WinRAR or 7zip; older extraction tools sometimes prompt for passwords that don't exist. There is no password on any game file uploaded here — all files are password-free. If a RAR reports damage or a CRC error, re-download that specific file.

Decrypted ROMs are playable on PC with the Citra 3DS Emulator, which is useful if you want to try the game without a physical handheld.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Deep vehicle customization and open-ended exploration; the update and DLC are bundled in one place; multiple mirror options for each file; CIA format installs cleanly on custom firmware; no password on the archives.
• Cons: Japanese-only language support, so English-only players will struggle; requires custom firmware, which is not a stock setup; region-locked to JPN; the base game is a separate 872MB download from the update and DLC.

Trust and Version Notes

This page reflects the Update 1.1 package as it was published on September 28, 2019 by Berry. The version number 1.1 is taken directly from the update file name and title; treat it as the confirmed patch level rather than an estimate of future updates. The developer credited in the metadata is Berry, and the game itself was developed by Cattle Call and published by Kadokawa. File sizes are listed per component so you can verify what you're downloading: 872MB for the base game, 3.1MB for the update, and 44MB for the DLC. If you hit broken or dead links, use the reupload request page rather than asking in the comments. For extraction help with multi-part RARs, check the FAQ section.
