UnMetal is a 2D stealth action-adventure that pays homage to the classics with a healthy dose of humor and satire. You play as Jesse Fox, who is definitely NOT an elite commando, under arrest for a crime he didn't commit, and must escape a covert military base using his wits and fists.

Jesse Fox is imprisoned in a covert military base for a crime he says he did not commit. To get out, he uses stealth, quick thinking, improvised skills, and whatever gear he can find.
Move through the base, avoid or take down guards, use gadgets and weapons, and solve puzzles. The 2D adventure also includes boss encounters and sections that shift between stealth and action.
Fox recounts his escape during an interrogation, framing the adventure with his account of what happened. Chapters introduce new mechanics and items, while experience and skills provide progression; some situations offer choices that can affect the story.
Many reviewers enjoy the game’s absurd, self-aware comedy and its parody of classic Metal Gear, often praising how the jokes are woven into Jesse Fox’s story. Reviews also frequently appreciate the stealth and action gameplay, with some highlighting puzzles, varied boss fights, and a challenge that can rise at higher difficulties. A smaller number find certain sections frustrating, the humor hit-or-miss, or the pacing and translations uneven.
