About the Game

METAL is a first person survival game, with intense melee and ranged weapon combat.

You will fight with rocks, clubs, swords, axes, bows, crossbows, throwing weapons and primitive war machines.

Bandits lurk at every fork in the roads, and if you slay the local tribe's goats be prepared for some real beef.

The woods are full of wolves looking for an easy prey, so make sure to sharpen that sword before you venture too far.

Cut trees down, gather rocks, build your house and stay safe from wild beasts and thieves.

The landscapes have been devastated by mankind, and only a few pockets of life remain.

How long will you survive, if you destroy what is left ?

Your decisions will shape your destiny as you manage and gather the resources in your environment.
