Good fit- Players who enjoy stealth action and want a 2D adventure with combat options

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow, meditative pace may find the stealth-action escape structure too action-focused.
- Players looking for an expansive role-playing system may find the experience centered on escaping one military base.
- Players who want a serious tone may not enjoy the satire and cultural references.
Our take on UnMetal
The focus on escaping a single military base gives the story a clear setting, but limits the scope to one central objective rather than a broader journey across multiple locations.
What is UnMetal?
Play as Jesse Fox, imprisoned in a covert military base for a crime he says he did not commit.
Escape by using stealth, combat, improvised skills, explosives, and gadgets, with fists as a fallback. Taking down enemies through stealth earns experience and skills. Along the way, adapt to situations with deception, including impersonating a cat, and uncover a clandestine plot. The game also frames the escape through interrogations: Jesse recounts events to a lieutenant scrutinizing his account. Its 2D stealth action-adventure structure draws on classic games and adds satire and references to culture, games, and movies.
