Everything We Know About Raw Metal

Raw Metal Story Plot

You are a lone scavenger barely surviving on the distant and barren exoplanet, Charybdis. During your search for gear and supplies, you come across Katabase 6, a massive mining facility run by the corrupt megacorporation known as Orpheus Tech. Sneak through the mines, utilize the gear and gadgets you find lying around, and rely on your fists for a chance to escape and survive.

Raw Metal Gameplay

At the start of a run, the game is a stealth action game first, where you will be skulking around the shadows picking up loot along the way to make your runs easier and smoother. Loot varies from armor that gives you different bonuses like bonus damage, movement speed, and scanning, gadgets that you can use to influence the environment like tasers and noisemakers, and finally currency that you can use to upgrade the items that you already have. During the stealth sections of the game, it plays like the older stealth action video games like Metal Gear and Splinter Cell.

The stealth game comparisons end there however, as when you execute a sneak attack on an unsuspecting enemy or if you get caught, the game transforms into a beat ‘em up action game where it actually plays Absolver, Sifu, and to some extent the older Yakuza games. You get score bonuses from successful combos, parries, and other offensive moves, but get penalized for taking damage, getting your attacks parried or blocked, and even doing nothing. The combat encourages you to be quick on your feet, attack as much as you can, and be aggressive at all times.
