Shanghai, China, 27th May 2021 - Round 1: Fight! Gtarcade, publishing branch of the mobile gaming developer YOOZOO Games, is excited to announce that the upcoming mobile mecha fighting game Metal Revolution is entering closed beta and will be available to players around the world via Google Play Beta. The game is set to officially launch in selected countries in the second quarter of 2021 and fighting games enthusiasts can look forward to the full global release later in the year.
Players can sign up for the closed beta on Google Play, as well as join a series of pre-registration events on the official website to get rewarded with in-game items, coins and a hero skin. Official trailer is available here, and additional Metal Revolution imagery can be found here.
Metal Revolution is a groundbreaking new fighting game that revitalizes the genre and brings the soul of the classic arcade fighting games into a new era, providing a more seamless and fluent gameplay experience on mobile devices. Players can directly control the movements of their fighters very much like they would on a console or PC, allowing them to time their attacks and providing a skill ceiling for each of the different heroes. Additional gameplay features that further support the strategic gameplay of Metal Revolution include:
-
Parry, where players can parry anytime (even when blocking or in the air)
-
Energy bar that makes players carefully plan their resource spending
-
Offensive and defensive players that excel at different playstyles
Set in an intricate cyberpunk world that heavily relies on machinery and cybernetic enhancements, the game offers intuitive controls, deep gameplay mechanics and 60fps graphics quality. From a Muay Thai boxer to a katana-swinging Yakuza boss, players can choose from a wide range of fighters to climb global ranked matches and hone their skills. Each of the heroes offer a deep backstory to experience complemented by rich gameplay and combat mechanics created through motion capture, with input from martial arts experts and inspiration from legacy arcade fighting games.
“Metal Revolution went through many iterations before we were ready to show it to the world.” shares Jensen Hu, Metal Revolution Game Producer. “Every member of our team lives and breathes video games, and we’ve poured all our love for fighting games into this project. We’ve made Metal Revolution difficult to master but easy to pick up, and hope to bring back the sense of hard-earned but justly rewarded success that gamers felt whenever they finally managed to beat their opponent.”
