About
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.
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.
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.
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, as 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.
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.

Raw Metal is an acquired taste, and I'll be damned if I don't keep coming back for seconds. It's hard for me to explain just what captivates me in this game, primarily as it's from a genre that I'm otherwise not a fan of and its combat is, admittedly, punishing until you really get the 'groove' of it down. But something kept me coming back till I beat it, and then I beat it again, and then I beat it again, and then I started achievement hunting. I honestly think it's a combination of all of it. The visual style is very unique, the gameplay is rewarding, both on the stealth and the combat side of things, the enemies are challenging yet manageable, the bosses are cool, and it's got a sort of non-linear progression style tailored through gear you find that lets you augment certain ways to play that benefit methods you might like more than others. The underlying story is also neat and fascinates me without feeling like it's just raw infodumps or a script being fed to you line by line, the developers tailored something that shows more than it tells, and I always enjoyed that. If you find things to be too hard or too easy, the developers added a lot of QOL options that allow you to make things either far easier or far harder so you can tailor it to your sweetspot. Their last 'big' patch added a ton of little QOL tweaks, and they even added in a whole new recurring boss they didn't have to add in solely to help the player learn boss mechanics before they get thrown up against the real deal. All in all? I'd definitely recommend this, and it's got a good deal of replayability and entertainment for a $20 pricetag. Also the OST is pretty damn good if you're into music.

Guard, to himself: "...How bout, 'Put your dukes up, scrapheap!'...naah, too long." Same guard mid-fight: "Put your dukes up, scrapheap!"
The camera pretty much makes this unplayable for me
An absolute sleeper hit of a game that blends genres while making it look effortless (even though it's clear a lot of great effort went into it)
Absolutely lovely game. 10/10.
