What is Metal Unit?
In this 2D side-scrolling action roguelite, you play Joanna, a soldier in a powered suit fighting monsters and alien machines to save Earth and confront her defected sister. You dash through surface areas and dungeons, chain melee and ranged attacks, and convert equipped items into research points on death to unlock new gear and skills.
