GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

HYPER UNITS, CONFIRM YOUR STATUS
In a fast-paced game like METAL EDEN, there are a lot of mechanics at the player’s disposal to traverse the terrain and deal with dangerous enemies.
In this blog post, we aim to talk about the different mechanics you can use when you enter the city of MOEBIUS.
MOVEMENT
One of the most important things to master as a Hyper Unit is the movement. Dodging enemy fire, avoiding their blades and traversing terrain is crucial to success.
// FUEL
ASKA is equipped with a jet pack, with a limited amount of fuel. While on the surface it’s simple to use. Spend the fuel to hover in the air, or consume a chunk of your fuel to quickly dodge in the direction of your choosing.
Use the fuel correctly to master combat and clear gaps, or lose track of it, and fall victim to enemies or fall off the platform only to be reconstructed by your mentor, NEXUS to try again.
After landing and running, your fuel will regenerate to be used again.
// WALL RUN
Landing on the floor isn’t the only way to regain your fuel. You can find walls for which you can run along and regain your fuel.
ASKA is the only one able to run on walls on MOEBIUS, use this to your advantage to avoid enemies, find areas hidden from others, and reach pick-ups around the arenas.
// JUMP PADS AND GRAPPLING
All around MOEBIUS, you will also be able to find Jump pads and places where you can grapple. This is a fast way to go between platforms which are otherwise unreachable.
// ZIPLINE
In some places on MOEBIUS, you will find ziplines that will help you traverse over long distances. But don’t think you are safe just because you are hanging in the air on the zipline. The overseer will continue to send enemies for you, so stay aware of your surroundings.
// SLOW MOTION
As ASKA evolves throughout her missions, you will be able to choose in the upgrade tree to be able to slow down time. Allowing you to make accurate decisions, movement and aim for a short amount of time.
// CORE RIPPING
Core ripping is an essential mechanic in METAL EDEN to master to complete your mission. Upgrading your core using core modules will change how you use core ripping.
// EXTRACT
Most enemies have a core that you can extract from them. Extracting a core from an enemy will eliminate them immediately. To protect themselves, elite threats and above will be protected from you with armor that prevents you from extracting their core.
// THROW
After extracting the core from an enemy, you can throw it causing a core explosion dealing heavy damage to enemies caught by it. Deal with many enemies at once by throwing a core at them.
// CONSUME
Consuming a core will energize ASKA empowering your next punch into a super punch. Performing a super punch will deal heavy damage to the enemy and knock you back from the shock. Use a super punch to deal with armored enemies or get rid of dangerous threats quickly.
TIPS AND TRICKS
All of these movement and core options will individually provide you with a lot of mobility and options for how you will approach each obstacle. When put together, you will be able to soar through the sky. Here are some tips and tricks to help you on your mission.
// JUMP PAD + JETPACK
After reaching high speed, such as using a Jump pad you can keep that speed for some time by using the Jetpack to avoid landing. Avoid dodging while at high speed, to keep your momentum for longer.
// SUPER PUNCH
After consuming a core, you will be able to use Super Punch to remove the armor of an enemy. After super punching an enemy, they will be staggered for a short amount of time and knock you back. This is a great tool to keep someone at bay when you are running out of fuel and keep the flow going.
// ZIPLINE/WALL-RUN + SLOW MOTION
While moving at high speeds like when wall-running or on a zipline. Using slow motion is great to make sure that you hit your shots and avoid spending bullets.
These only scratch the surface of what you can do in METAL EDEN. As you progress and evolve you will unlock many different ways of engaging in combat, and traversing the terrain. Read through the core modules thoroughly and tailor your experience to how you want to play.
