UnMetal is a 2021 action-adventure stealth video game developed by Francisco Téllez de Meneses and published by Eastasiasoft for the PlayStation Vita and Versus Evil for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game follows Jesse Fox, a falsely-accused prisoner who attempts to escape a military prison while uncovering a nuclear threat.
The game is an absurdist parody of Konami's Metal Gear franchise, using fourth wall metahumor, running gags, and action film tropes throughout its presentation and gameplay; the game's protagonist, Jesse Fox, is a direct parody of recurring Metal Gear protagonists Solid Snake and Naked Snake. Gameplay is similar to Metal Gear (1987) and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990) with modern overhauls, including a crafting system, a reliance on non-lethal weaponry, and direct influence of the narration and player's choices in certain sections.
UnMetal was released on 21 April 2021 for the PlayStation Vita, and 28 September 2021 for PC and consoles, to generally positive reviews.
