NEOWIZ and Jellysnow Studio are bringing their side-scrolling action platformer with roguelite elements, Metal Unit, to the Nintendo Switch! Thanks to an eShop listing, we now know that the title is officially releasing on the hybrid console on June 17th, 2021.

What is Metal Unit?

Metal Unit tells a tragic story of human survivors and their battle against monsters and machines to regain control of their planet.

The Earth is under siege from all directions, with ancient beings emerging from underground and alien machines descending from space. The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, but you can help tilt the odds by playing as Joanna, a new soldier capable of wearing the powerful M-Unit suit. Follow Joanna on her epic journey to save humanity and get revenge on her traitorous sister that has taken up arms with the alien race.

Key Features

The wide of range of melee and ranged weapons at your disposal also give you the ultimate flexibility to take out enemies any way you see fit.
