METAL EDEN Other Features & Info
- labelMultiplayer Modes
The game is a strictly single-player experience and does not have any multiplayer or co-operative modes.
- labelStory and Setting
The game is set in the derelict, brutalist orbital city of MOEBIUS. Players control ASKA, a 'Hyper Unit' android, on a mission to retrieve the digitized human consciousnesses ('COREs') of the city's trapped citizens. Guided by a cryptic AI called Nexus, the narrative explores themes of transhumanism and unreliable narration, suggesting ASKA's mission may be more sinister than a simple rescue.
- labelTop 3 Gameplay Mechanics
- 1. Core Ripping: The signature mechanic. Players use a 'Gravity Beam' to telekinetically rip energy cores from enemies. These cores can then be either thrown as explosives to gain ammo, or consumed to regain health/armor and enable a powerful 'Super Punch' melee attack. 2. Cybernetic Parkour: A fast-paced movement system featuring a dash, double jump, jetpack, grappling hook, and wall-running on specific surfaces, designed to keep the player in constant motion during combat. 3. The ARMORED RAMBALL: A transformation ability, similar to Metroid's Morph Ball, that allows ASKA to charge through enemy formations, adding another layer to her combat and traversal options.
