Reikon Games of Ruiner fame is preparing its next title, Metal Eden, for launch in May. However, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC players can try out a free demo in the meantime. It’s available now (and will remain so, even after the game’s launch) and offers the first two missions. Check out the release trailer below, which showcases the shooter’s intense combat and enemies.
Set in the futuristic MOEBIUS, you control ASKA, a hyper unit that must battle the city itself to free its inhabitants. Various hostile robots stand in her way, but alongside eight different weapons, ASKA also possesses exceptional agility and can wall run, grapple and dash.
Why has MOEBIUS gone off the rails, and what does it have to do with the world known as VULCAN? You won’t find out in the demo, but it does offer a strong primer on the combat, gameplay flow and progression.
Metal Eden releases on May 6th worldwide. Check out 20 minutes of extensive gameplay here.
