Raw Metal Review: Stealth Action Dungeon Crawler Game
"Raw Metal" is a premium action game for PC developed by Team Crucible. This sci-fi stealth adventure immerses players in a lone scavenger's role sneaking into a vast mining facility to scavenge resources while evading detection. The game stands out with its unique blend of top-down exploration akin to Quasimorph and immersive third-person combat reminiscent of Tekken 7, offering players a demo showcasing its distinctive gameplay mechanics.
Set in the distant future on the desolate exoplanet Charybdis, players navigate through nine levels within the heavily guarded mining facility Katabase 6, maneuvering through labyrinthine mazes. With the use of five deployable gadgets, players must stay hidden from patrols or engage in swift, combo-based combat if detected. Raw Metal boasts over 50 upgradable equipment pieces to enhance the scavenger's survival chances, along with challenging one-on-one boss battles featuring unique attack patterns. The game presents a risk versus reward system, allowing players to decide between cashing in loot or pushing further, albeit with a slight learning curve in mastering its mechanics.
