Metal Unit tells a bleak story of a war-torn planet and its human survivors as they make a courageous stand to take their world back from monsters and machines bent on eradication of their species. According to the press release by publisher NEOWIZ:

The Earth is under siege from all directions, with ancient beings emerging from underground and alien machines descending from space. The fate of the planet hangs in the balance, but you can help tilt the odds by playing as Joanna, a new soldier capable of wearing the powerful M-Unit suit. Follow Joanna on her epic journey to save humanity and get revenge on her traitorous sister that has taken up arms with the alien race.
