New retro-style mech combat game is rapidly racking up "Very Positive" reviews on Steam

A brand-new roguelike adventure to arrive on Steam, Metal Bringer, is quickly winning players over with its fresh retro-mech design and satisfying gameplay. Released on March 12, 2025, for Steam and PlayStation 5, Metal Bringer is rapidly gaining popularity, boasting a "Very Positive" rating with an impressive 88% approval based on over 300 user reviews.

The game centers around customizable android soldiers, referred to as "Labor," and powerful giant machines known as "Arms." Players have to tailor their gameplay by modifying these androids with different parts, weapons, and even installable apps to upgrade their abilities, which creates a deeply personalized combat experience. As players progress, the game escalates from slower-paced skirmishes to battles that literally fill the screen with explosions and action (this has been particularly praised in user reviews).

Graphically, Metal Bringer is designed in a voxel art style combined cleverly with real-time pixel art generation and ray tracing technology. What you get are visuals that stand apart from other roguelikes. The game's dynamic soundtrack also adapts to on-screen events, which contributes to immersion as battles intensify or calm down.

The narrative follows Suria, a mysterious girl who awakens after a millennium-long cryosleep in an abandoned laboratory. She's guided by her companions called "Buds," and she must uncover the truth about humanity's fate, building and dispatching her android army to explore and reclaim the shattered world.

For players ready to dive straight into action, the game is on sale with a special 10% launch discount running through March 25, 2025. You can check it out here.
