Gunmetal

About Gunmetal

The game takes place 300 years in the future. The world is completely controlled by corporations, and the concept of nation is unknown.

The player takes on the role of a newly hired security guard for the Nataka Corporation, a multi-planet organization patterned loosely after mid-20th century Conglomerates such as Siemens A.G., Sara Lee, or General Electric.

The game is focused around the player completing various missions, that become increasingly more chaotic as the player finds themselves caught up in a battle against a rogue computer virus.

Gunmetal has 24 published levels, along with two secret levels, four deathmatch-specific levels, and one easter egg minigame. An additional deathmatch level was added in a later patch release.

Between each level, the player is told a bit about the challenges in the upcoming level through a mission briefing. They can then choose to visit an upgrade area where they can buy, sell, and trade weapons, ammo, and vehicle types to use in the mission. A limited amount of credits are given at the start of the game, but by salvaging destroyed enemy RPVs or earning "good employee" bonuses, the player can eventually afford a wide range of weaponry.

The easter egg is side-scrolling minigame called "Gandhi Kong," done in the style of Donkey Kong and starring Mahatma Gandhi.
