Description

Raw Metal is a sci-fi stealth-action dungeon crawler with a focus on smooth, stylish gameplay.

You are a lone scavenger on the distant, barren exoplanet Charybdis. In search of gear and supplies, you infiltrate the depths of Katabase 6, a massive mining facility run by a corrupt megacorporation known as Orpheus Tech. Sneak through the mines undetected, cleverly utilizing various gadgets and equipment to your advantage, but beware; if you're caught, you'll need to rely on your combat skills for a fighting chance to escape.

High-Stakes Stealth

Use taser darts, noisemakers, improvised concussion grenades, and anything else you can find to slip past and isolate guards. The shadows are your domain; manipulate your environment and your enemies well enough and they'll never see you coming.

Breakneck Combat

Whether it is initiated through a clever ambush or a stealth slip-up, a fight can range from a calculated risk to a desperate struggle for survival. Combat in Raw Metal is fast and punishing; the guards stationed at Katabase 6 are stronger and more heavily armored than you, so you'll need to fight dirty to come out on top. Be aggressive, relentless, and resourceful. Take every advantage you can get your hands on. Honor is for the weak.

Extensive Equipment

Customize your look and playstyle with a variety of upgradeable gear pieces that shake up the gameplay and give you an edge in sketchy situations. Create the ultimate stealth build, armor up and tear through your enemies, or modify the behavior of gadgets and attacks to lean into a specific strategy. Be careful, losing a fight gets your gear confiscated and sent to a secure location; you'll need to weigh the certainty of extracting with the gear you have against the reward of pushing deeper for better loot.

Brutal Boss Fights

Three unique bosses stand in your way, and will put you in your place if you're ill-prepared to face them. Master combos, avoid deadly attack chains, and watch your opponent closely for openings and weaknesses to get the upper hand. Investing in a solid kit of gear and gadgets will come in clutch against these formidable adversaries, but be sure to practice in the Boss Training mode before challenging them for real and risking it all.
