Tiny Metal

Tiny Metal is a turn-based tactics game set amid a war between Artemesia and Zipang. After the assassination of the Artemesian king, Lieutenant Nathan Gries commands his units against Zipang while navigating political intrigue and personal conflicts. The single-player campaign takes about 20 hours and follows Nathan and his unit as they question what is worth fighting for.

Campaign characters

Nathan comes from a military family; his father died in the last war when Nathan was young. Col. Lindberg, a friend of his father, guides him. Nathan is respected by his superiors and peers and has noble intentions, but his inexperience can leave him vulnerable to exploitation.

Commander Wolfram leads the White Fangs. She lost her brother in the previous war between Artemesia and Zipang, where he fought for a nation she believed cared little for him. She now takes profitable jobs, though her plans may not always be clear.

Lord Isoroku Tsukumo is the leading vassal of the Zipang shogunate. His title, “of 3 million stones,” reflects his greatness, his holdings and the number of people under his rule. He puts his people first and is devoted to duty and honor, holding himself to strict standards.

Tactical battles

You command 15 unique units, from Riflemen to Gunships and Metals, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Units gain experience on the battlefield, while careful positioning, terrain and strategic advances and defenses shape each fight. Attacking from behind or beside an enemy deals more damage, and Focus Fire lets multiple units combine their attacks.

Forest, city and factory terrain offers different bonuses. Some terrain also provides access to new units and powerful hero units, which can grow stronger during the campaign and carry over from one mission to the next.

Game modes

The campaign follows Nathan and his unit through the war and features characters from different factions. Skirmish mode offers dozens of matches with scenarios against a variety of foes. Online and local multiplayer support 1-on-1 matches.

Soundtrack

The upbeat soundtrack is composed by Tomoki Miyoshi, whose previous works include SOULCALIBUR V, Steins;Gate and I am Setsuna.
