Metal Mind

Metal Mind is a bullethell rougelite. Don't really have much to say for this segment since practically all bullethell shmups play the same to me. What I can say is that this game has a bit of charm to it that differentiates it from other similar games like Soul Knight. This game has practically all the mechanics that make up a modern bullethell rougelite. You've got skills and attributes only apply to a single run while also having upgrades that could carry-over to future sessions.

✨Overview Metal Mind is a pixel rogue-lite stick shooter where players take on the role of a mech that can change its parts and gear on the fly. The game was originally released on PC (Steam) last year for an upfront cost of $18, but I had the privilege of trying out a pre-release build of the Android version, and I must say, it transitions quite seamlessly to the mobile platform, if not even better suited for it.

SHOULD I PLAY METAL MIND? Play it. Metal Mind is a sci-fi roguelite dungeon crawler about robots fighting other robots. This solid game may not do anything revolutionary, but it provides an approachable, entertaining dive into a genre that can often be intimidating. TIME PLAYED I played Metal Mind for three hours. I’ve beaten six bosses and traveled through three different biome across fifteen-plus runs. The length of each run varied wildly depending on my success; some ended with death within five minutes, while my best run went for nearly an hour.
