A frantic top-down shooter where you customize a mech to mow down waves of enemies in quick runs.

What players say

Players say Metal Ascension has a steep learning curve that flips into being too easy once figured out, and there is little reason to replay since there is no meta progression and only one map. Opinions split on whether the game is worth its low price, with some praising the developer's responsiveness to feedback and others citing sparse content and a lack of balance.
