Hi everyone,

Metal Bringer will be released on March 12, 2025!

Alongside this announcement, we've also updated the Steam demo of the game. We've improved and polished the demo based on user feedback, and this new demo has been overhauled to provide an even better experience. Whether you've already played the old demo, or if this is your first time hearing of it, please give the new demo a try, and we hope you'll enjoy it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2334180/ Note: As we will continue to improve the full game based on feedback received from the demo, demo progress will not be saved. Demo save data will not carry over to the full game. "The demo features two exclusive modes: Newbie, where you learn the basic game mechanics and play through the beginning of the story, and Extreme, where you can use Labor and Arms that have already been strengthened to a certain extent to take on mid-game battles. These two modes allow players to get a feel for the core systems of Metal Bringer and what the full version might have in store!" Demo Game Modes Newbie Power up and customize your Labor with apps as you learn the basic game mechanics and play through the beginning of the story. Your Labor will start out weak, but keep growing stronger to defeat a boss within the time limit! Extreme Use Labor and Arms that have already been strengthened to a certain extent to take on mid-game battles. Choose whatever kind of Labor, weapon, and Arms you like to overpower the boss! Extreme Mode is unlocked from the title screen after you watch the opening scene and roll out on an investigation for the first time in Newbie Mode. We're looking forward to receiving more feedback from our players, so keep the comments coming! Please add the game to your wishlist and look forward to its release on March 12! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2334170/

The demo has two exclusive modes—"Newbie", where you can play the beginning of the story, and "Extreme", where you can try out a battle from midway through the game! Both modes combined will let you experience the main game systems of Metal Bringer to give you a taste of the full game, so please check it out! (Note: Demo save data cannot be carried over to the full game.) If the game fails to start on Steam Deck, please try "Proton Experimental" in the compatibility settings in Properties.

Demo Game Modes

Newbie Power up and customize your Labor with apps as you learn the basic game mechanics and play through the beginning of the story. Your Labor will start out weak, but keep growing stronger to defeat a boss within the time limit! Extreme Use Labor and Arms that have already been strengthened to a certain extent to take on mid-game battles. Choose whatever kind of Labor, weapon, and Arms you like to overpower the boss! Extreme mode can be unlocked by defeating the boss in Newbie mode or by playing for a certain amount of time. (Note: Several features such as shops are restricted in Extreme mode)

About the Game

Customize Your Character Strengthen your character by installing different types of apps. You lose all installed apps when you fall in battle, but by analyzing an app's data, you can use it when you customize your next Labor. Defeating enemies makes them drop D-Chips, which can be used to tune your Labor and Arms to raise their capablities from the get-go. The more fine-tuned your character is, the more apps you can install as well, so make good use of it! Obtain Enemy Arms Parts on the Go Even the most powerful Arms will eventually wear down, but when that happens, you can use Arms parts left behind by the enemy. What's more, you can analyze the blueprints of powerful Arms parts to unlock various customization options. Find out what kind of gear suits you best to build the ideal mech. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2334180/
