Our take on Metal Garden
The store presentation gives substantial space to the setting, atmosphere, and mystery, but the core campaign is deliberately brief: completion is estimated at one to three hours. Modifiers add variation, though they do not change the compact scale of the main experience.
What is Metal Garden?
Explore an overgrown megastructure where civilizations have remained sealed away for ages.
The story follows a nomad stranded in hostile wilderness after the mech used for travel breaks down. This single-player first-person shooter combines environmental exploration, combat encounters, and a sci-fi mystery revealed through the setting. Industrial remnants overtaken by nature form the game world, while movement and combat support encounters across the campaign. An injury system tracks health alongside individual body parts. Optional modifiers can alter later playthroughs by changing health rules, enemy arrangements, and item placement. The campaign is intended to be completed in one sitting, with an estimated duration of one to three hours.
