Tiny Metal for PC, SWITCH and PS4 is a turn-based military strategy game by a Japanese studio Area 34. The game was inspired by classic Japanese productions of the genre, such as the Advance Wars series.
You play as Lieutenant Nathan Gries, an officer of the army of Artemisia, a fictional peaceful country. The Artemisians, however, are forced to fight a war against the cunning and evil nation of Zipang. The singleplayer story campaign in Tiny Metal takes about 8-10 hours to finish.
Tiny Metal is a turn-based strategy game. You assume the control over many units with their own stats, and attack the enemy, taking advantage of the terrain. There are thirteen unique units (you can learn more about them in the in-game Metalpedia). The gameplay is also affected by the so-called fog of war, which covers a part of the map until your forces venture there and dispel it.
The game also features a skirmish mode and a level editor.
The orchestral soundtrack of the game was composed by Tomoki Miyoshi, known from such productions as Soulcalibur V or I Am Setsuna.

Game Ratings for Tiny Metal Video Game.
Wccftech: 7 / 10 by Francesco De Meo
Tiny Metal is a love letter to turn-based strategy games of the past, offering a similar experience which doesn't overstay its welcome. Sadly, the game by Area 35 doesn't even try to move away from its main influence, the Advance Wars series, resulting in a game that doesn't feel particularly daring or innovative. Still, there's plenty of fun to be had, especially in Skirmish Mode, where all of the game's subsystems and mechanics get the chance to shine.
The Outerhaven Productions: 4.5 / 5 by Keith Mitchell
AREA 35's first UNITES title is a solid effort. Despite its simplistic looks is a game that demands a good amount of planning and strategy. Tiny Metal will definitely be familiar to Nintendo fans who are still looking for their next Advance Wars fix. While gamers new to the genre will find that Tiny Metal is a nice diversion for all those AAA games that haven't lived up to the hype. To still a phase from the old 16-bit console wars, AREA 35 does what Nintendont.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Simon Fitzgerald
Tiny Metal is a fun military-themed, turn-based strategy game. It manages to put your brain in gear with the troops' different strengths and weaknesses creating interestingly close battles. However without a multiplayer mode, some translation issues, and a text-heavy story the game falls short of being a must buy.
