If I had been to inform you that Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble is out as we speak, you’d be inside your rights to name me a liar and e-mail my mum to inform on me. It was launched yesterday. The Advanced Wars-style sequel is right here already if you happen to’re searching for some turn-based tweeness with toy-like tanks and huggable helis. The trailer has breached my defenses and landed behind enemy traces (under).
I have to warn you earlier than I embed the trailer: I’ve accomplished some recon, by means of binoculars with eyelashes hooked up, and have found that the voiceover is an enemy unit from one other game. It doesn’t jive with the general model, although that simply makes it humorous. It’s right here in your ears.
Full Metal Rumble is the sequel to the unique Tiny Metal, which rumbled onto PC a few years in the past. It seems like extra of what the primary game supplied: cute little avatars spouting critical dialogue whereas making life and demise tactical choices. If you’re considering that the troopers all put on over-sized helmets that cowl their eyelines, you’d be proper. The maps appear to be that iconic kids’s rug, and the fog of warfare is made from cubes. This is turn-based sweetness. Even the world map is a beautiful little factor, enabling you to drift across the bigger world in a cute choppa searching for unlocks earlier than diving into the fights. But all that hides a game of tight little turn-based lockups and balancey battles.
Given that Advance Wars doesn’t exist anymore, and by no means existed on the PC, Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble and its predecessor has arguably grabbed some uncontested floor. If Wargroove’s fantasy setting didn’t do it for you, Full Metal Rumble is on on Steam proper now for £10.70/€11.89/$12.74.
