METAL EDEN

Pretty fun and short bullet hell fps. Good for a few hours.

From the people who brough you RUINER high speed shooter action. Lovely art style cool guns, and an incidental plot. [b] the good [/b] - really great sense of speed and action, you do feel you have the movement to go anywhere apart from your skill ceiling - Guns have great impact and are distinct - really like the visuals of the city and it has good variety of places even if its is corridor to arena with platforming. - Ran well not a given as its UE5 rock solid with everything on ultra and no DLSS, Likewise no crashes either. [b] the bad [/b] - Couldn't follow the plot there was one I couldn't tell you what it was - Skill test activities the platforming I found a struggle along with some areas, the bosses were easiest thing about the game as they all had pattens that were quite easy to follow as they are much bigger than you. - the direction you are meant to go is not that clear. [b] the strange [/b] - you don't regain ammo between missions - you go in with no context other than names and titles this doesn't change throughout - the stakes are in theory large but they are not really meaningful. So all in all good fun shooter with some interesting DOOM enternal style mechanics, worth it if on sale.

我很诚恳地告诉你，这款游戏很好玩，但是太短了，并且你会因为游戏剧情太短导致看不懂，然后连继续玩的想法都没有了

This game was one of those that are a perfect 7/8 out of 10. It was a great game that I enjoyed all the way through. The combat was fun and responsive albeit little variety. It very much reminded me of Doom and the many arena based rogue-likes that are available like Roboquest in terms of level and area design. Aesthetically, it's just very sci-fi, similar to Pragmata in the environmental design and it looks good on High settings. I had no issues with performance. I had a steady 70fps @ 3440x1440 on all high settings, DLSS balanced and then I threw some frame gen on to get 140-150fps. The was never going to be worth the full price it was when it launched, but the much lower price it is now and as it's often on sale, I think it's worth a look at if you want something more casual. I clocked the game after around 6 hours of actual gameplay. Steam has me at 8 as the game was paused for a while. I played and finished this in an afternoon and I think it was well worth it. The game was short enough that I could see myself going back to play it because the game was just designed to be fun and it felt like a throwback to a time when games didn't need to be forever games. The devs should be proud of what they've made and I had a blast. The story and characters were interesting enough that after the ending, I'd be happy to be see sequel!

Is it a mish-mash of every sci-fi cyberpunk cliche'? Yes, it is basically an episode of Split Fiction made full game. BUT! It is also very fun to play, adrenalinic, stunning and the right amount of difficult (playing in hard mode). Give this people some money so they can hire a better writer <3

Plays very well, little similar to modern Doom games. Wish it was a little longer, you'll get 6-7 hours out of it on a basic playthrough.

METAL EDEN is an enjoyable singleplayer FPS where you move between one combat area to another while dispatching a few mobs inbetween and listening to the occasional story narration, noticeably spaced out across the level so as to not go through the story beats too quickly and leave the rest of the level completely silent and empty. It is no DOOM Eternal and so luckily it doesn't exhaust one as that game did. The store page describes it as an "adrenaline-rush" game but that's pushing it a bit. Playing with a mouse and keyboard almost makes the combat too easy as all you need to do is jump, dash, and move around to avoid most enemy fire since the vast majority of them do projectile based damage. And with an abundance of ammo/health/armor pickups available in each combat area all you need to do is run around, note where they are, and then keep moving, fighting, and collect a pickup every now and then until all enemies are defeated. The sci-fi world that's been crafted is beautiful albeit mostly empty and dead (no doubt intentional), and the power of Unreal Engine 5 is at full display here visually, with massive levels, free use of particle effects, and great lighting and shadows. That said it is also clear that this was, at the end of the day, a production with a limited budget. It looks great, and the story that's there is basic but coherent and interesting, but it also feels like a lot of the levels and story were stitched together after the fact, with no shared intent from the start. The CGI also displays the clear limitation of the budget with all speech done "digitally" so no mouth movements necessary, and multiple shots being reused time and time again, with glaring inconsistencies between them (e.g. a character switches between pose A and pose B instantly between camera cuts multiple times throughout some cutscenes). I imagine that had this had a larger budget we'd probably see the story expanded by quite a lot, with more expansive narrative beats in-between and during missions, and more work put into making the world come alive. But for what it is, in its current form, it is still worth playing.

I love this game. It is fast, challenging, lots of flying giblets!

Fun Gameplay like Doom.

Poor mans doom/metroid. Tries to be both, fails being anything but a massive headache. Nothing works, nothing is fun. Lame dialogues and the whatever story do not help either.
