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.

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Tiny Metal doesn't copy the Advance Wars formula — it improves it.
Game Informer: 7.3 / 10 by Ben Reeves
This charming strategy game offers some cheap thrills, but the battles grow old quickly thanks to a lack of depth
Worth Playing: 6.5 / 10 by Cody Medellin
That's the real thing that holds back Tiny Metal. There's no doubt that it has the basics covered, and the new focus fire mechanic works nicely when you can initiate it. The campaign and skirmishes make up a very lengthy game once you put them together, though you'll have to deal with a lackluster AI in the process. The lack of multiplayer wouldn't hurt so much if it weren't already promised, and the fact that the game launched without that feature makes it feel like an Early Access title rather than one with a $25 price tag. If you don't mind such things, then Tiny Metal is still worth checking out if you're a fan of simpler strategy. For anyone else looking for some challenge, it might be best to hold off to see if and when multiplayer goes live.
