New maps include “Split Fire,” “Sea of Trees,” and “Abandoned Park.” Each map offers its own unique challenges and flash points to keep players on their toes and test their skills. TINY METAL’s in-game lore compendium, the Metalpedia, is also updated with additional information regarding the supreme Hero Units. Finally, various changes have been made to units, buildings, and general campaign difficulty to allow for a more balanced and rewarding gameplay experience. Fans who’ve completed the game and are working through the merciless “New Game +” mode may find that the updates change the tides in their favor!

“When we first set out to create TINY METAL over a year ago, we were just a small group of experienced Japanese game developers with dreams of playing another Advance Wars-type strategy game,” reflects AREA 35 Director Hiroaki Yura. “And now that TINY METAL has been released, we’re dedicated to making it the best experience possible with Patch 1.0.10, and look forward to implementing your continued feedback as we march towards our multiplayer update.”

Developed by AREA 35, Inc. and published by Sony Music Entertainment’s new videogame publisher arm, UNTIES, TINY METAL blasts onto the scene as the spiritual successor to Advance Wars that fans have been waiting for. Players will command over 15 different unit types alongside all-powerful Hero Units over the course of a 20-hour campaign that explores political and personal intrigue with a memorable cast of hand-drawn and fully voiced characters. Plus, blow things up with Metals (TINY METAL’s term for tanks)!
