  • Summary: In 1972 a crack commando squad threw you in prison for a crime you didn't commit. You promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the underground trying to survive from these soldiers of fortune.

    UnMetal is a 2D stealth/action game (with a bit of humor) where the goal is to escape from an enemy military base. But what started as a simple break out ended up being an inside operation to prevent a massive attack against the NATO.

    You play as Jesse Fox who finds himself imprisoned in a covert military base where he was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Jesse must now escape using his dry wits, quick words, improvised skills, arsenal of warfare, violent explosives, MacGuyvered gadgets, and an elaborate explanation of how it all went down. If that all fails, he'll use his fists.

    * Uncover a clandestine plot as you escape from an enemy base where you were imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit.
    * Modern gameplay mechanics that pay homage to a solid classic.
    * Gain experience and skills by utilizing stealth to take down your enemies.
    * Deceive, adapt, and do whatever is necessary to escape even if you have to impersonate a cat.
    * Enjoy the thrill of interrogation as you elaborate specifics of your great escape to a lieutenant who seeks to scrutinize Jesse's every word in an intricate report.
    * Decipher a plethora of satirical culture, gaming and movie references. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll fall in love with them.
    * Collect an arsenal of classic gear, things that go "pew-pew", maybe a thing or two that goes "BOOM!", and some things that go "BOING!", and definitely a thing that goes "SCRATCH".
    * Does this smell like chloroform to you?    … Expand

    UnMetal manages to both comment on a classic video game and best it in any number of ways. Kojima’s ultra-serious presentation of bizarre characters and situations is ripe for parody, and many have attempted to do just that, but UnMetal manages to accomplish the task better than any game I’ve seen with great gameplay, brilliantly twisty storytelling, and hilarious comedy. UnMetal succeeds at everything it sets out to do. For anyone familiar with the source material, it’s a masterpiece. For anyone else, it’s merely a fantastic experience that’s not to be missed.

    With so many quotes from great games and movies, Unmetal is a great action parody, perfectly suited for Switch gaming everywhere style.

    UnMetal is a hilarious spoof of the Metal Gear series that manages to forge its own identity through clever inventory-based puzzles. With that in mind, it's hard not to get frustrated whenever you bite the dust due to some unexpected shenanigans.

    Excelente parodia de Metal Gear, jugabilidad a prueba de bombas y genialidad en todas y cada una de las situaciones en las que se encuentra Jesse.

    Una obra maestra una burda burla hacia la saga metal gear pero desde el respeto y el amor es increíble y además doblado al castellano.

Taking the original style of mgs it adds humour bringing laugh out loud moments. It's a very good cheap retro style game, but does have a few tedious moments.… Expand

    Literally inspired by Metal Gear 1 and 2 on Famicom/MSX/etc.

    The only thing that hurts the score is the cheesy dialogue, otherwise it's great.
