Metathrone

About

Metathrone is a first person shooter with stealth elements set in a sci-fi anime world. You play as a soldier caught in a conflict between humans and the Alta, a humanoid species that evolved separately. The story revolves around the Metathrone, an ancient relic that triggers a war after its rediscovery. Combat mixes gunplay with sneaky takedowns as you navigate environments blending futuristic cities and alien landscapes. The game emphasizes fast paced action and strategic use of cover. Released in 2008 this PC exclusive offers a single player campaign with branching objectives. Its anime inspired visuals and hybrid combat stand out but the game remains a niche title. The conflict between two civilizations adds depth to the shooter formula though the execution leans more towards action than subtlety.
