Our take on Metro Gravity
Its musical timing gives combat a defined rhythm, but that design leaves less room for actions performed independently of the beat. The same focus also makes exploration and puzzle solving share attention with the combat structure.
What is Metro Gravity?
Metro Gravity combines exploration, puzzle solving, character tasks, and musical combat in a surreal world without a fixed up or down.
Players move through the Halls by walking on walls, using a gravity beam, and gaining additional abilities. Puzzles present confusing spatial challenges shaped by the world's unusual gravity. Combat requires timing parries, dodges, and jumps to the beat of the music, while abilities, dialogue, and combat sounds follow the melodies. Residents can receive help with tasks and may provide items or story details in return. The game presents low-poly environments with retro-style pixel graphics and follows a character trying to escape the Halls after arriving through a suspicious link and survey.
