It’s a hard task to create something that pays homage to a beloved work, as no matter what happens it will always be compared to that original piece, often unfavorably. Against these odds, UnMetal manages to straddle the line of being both a parody and an exceptional example of a top-down stealth game more than able to stand up to such scrutiny. While the game’s inspirations are obvious, it’s the fact that it also stands out on its own merits which makes it special and worth playing for anyone longing for a retro experience or clever, enjoyable writing.
UnMetal is an incredible tribute to one of the greatest franchises in the medium. While the game pokes fun at the title and highlights flaws and silly elements, it’s clear that it is done with love and admiration for the series. Similar to how Mel Brooks lovingly rips Hitchcock apart in High Anxiety, UnEpic Fran does the same with Kojima. The varied gameplay and creative storytelling will keep you in hysterics throughout. Although some may find the retro gameplay a little grating, fans of Metal Gear and the stealth genre need to experience this side-splitting tactical espionage adventure.
UnMetal is a 2D stealth action adventure that pays homage to the classics with a dose of humor and satire. We play as Jesse Fox and we will have to use our expertise to get out of any situation and eliminate our enemies. The game is essential for Metal Gear fans, since it also comes with a most charismatic dubbing and will keep us entertained for approximately 8-10 hours. It is not especially difficult, but in its final part we will find a difficulty peak that will make us stealthily for as long as possible.
