UnMetal is a 2D action-packed stealth game with a touch of humor.UnMetal is driven by a narrative that piles on the 80’s movie and TV nostalgia alongside gameplay and characters heavily inspired by games where hiding in cardboard boxes is considered a sound evasion strategy.
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.
The goal is to escape an enemy military base, but what starts as a simple breakout quickly turns into an inside operation to uncover your captors’ plans and prevent a massive attack that could threaten peace on a global level. But what started as a simple break out ended up being an inside operation to prevent a massive attack against the NATO.
UnMetal’s top down 2D pixel-art visuals deliberately give the game a distinctly retro feel and tasks you, the player, to conduct a covert mission to escape a clandestine military base for a crime you didn’t commit. Espionage and deception go hand in hand as you take out video cameras with grenades, knock out nosy predictable guards and subdue pursuing enemies with military grade hardware when things inevitably go haywire.
An updated playable demo on PC for Steam is available for players to try, and coincides with new reveals and demos in Steam’s Next Fest from the 16th June.
"When Versus Evil first started to talk with UnEpic_Fran about UnMetal, I honestly didn't know what to expect. Once we played UnMetal and started learning more, we were hooked. This isn't just a stealth action game, but a game that is fun, challenging, and wrapped up into a classic retro design filled with intelligent humor. There are truly some genuine laugh out loud moments in this game that make you feel like you are quoting lines from your favorite movie. The Versus Evil team could not be more excited to launch UnMetal," said Steve Escalante,General Manager of Versus Evil.
UnMetal is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG) in summer 2021.
