UnMetal: Collector's Edition

About

UnMetal: Collector's Edition is a chaotic platformer where you play Jesse Fox, a metalhead trapped in a military prison. Navigate levels by blending fists, explosives, and jury-rigged contraptions to escape. Dialogue choices shape your approach, some doors open with threats, others with sarcastic banter. The gameplay mixes fast-paced combat with puzzle solving, letting you improvise tools from random objects. It's a blend of action and wit, all while Jesse narrates his misfortunes with dry humor. The Collector's Edition ships with a physical box containing the game, a printed manual, a soundtrack LP, a dog-tag necklace, a thermo-adhesive patch, an artbook, and a postcard. Ideal for fans craving tactile game goods, this set adds $50 value over the digital version. With 4.5/5 star ratings on Switch, its appeal lies in the over-the-top escapes and snarky tone. Released in 2023, it sits alongside cult hits like The Outer Worlds in its absurdity.

Storyline

You play as Jesse Fox who finds himself imprisoned in a covert military base where he was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Jesse must now escape using his dry wits, quick words, improvised skills, an arsenal of warfare, violent explosives, MacGuyvered gadgets, and an elaborate explanation of how it all went down. If that all fails, he'll use his fists.
