About Nicolas Meyssonier I started developing Pumpkin Jack as a spare-time project in 2016 while studying at the University. I was inspired by old PlayStation platformers I played in my childhood, such as Ratchet & Clank and most importantly Jak & Daxter, and I figured that the market lacked inspiring 3D platformers. Since I was always attracted by dark and spooky atmospheres like the ones we can see in MediEvil, I decided to create my own game which further developed into an exciting full-time project.

Denver, CO – September 28th, 2021 – Indie publisher Versus Evil in partnership with Independent developer Unepic_Fran are excited to announce that their 2D stealth action game UnMetalis now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and later today will also be available on popular PC stores: Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
UnMetal is a 2D stealth/action game that takes place in 1972, players assume the role of Jesse Fox, a civilian inadvertently embroiled in an unplanned mission to prevent an attack on NATO. Shot down and incarcerated by a commando unit for a crime he didn’t commit (cue music), his new mission is to escape from the heavily guarded clandestine military base he now finds himself imprisoned in.
There’s always an inherent risk of death sneaking around military facilities you clearly have no business creeping around, in UnMetal both stealth and crafting play a major role as players progress through the myriad of levels doing their utmost to avoid detection. Players can combine found items like circuit boards,wire and even things like unscented,unpatterned single ply toilet paper via their inventory system in order to craft new items to assist their escape. Who would have thought mission critical items would also include a soldier’s glass eye and eye patch to make a slingshot?
Fully equipped with a sense of humor drier than a secret agents vodka cocktail, gadgets, and the ability to acquire military grade weaponry from easily distracted guards, UnMetal also gives a shameless nod to the games and TV shows that defined the 1980’s, because who doesn’t love it when a plan comes together
“There are so many great moments of my gaming and movie watching youth that still stick with me today. That’s why when we first got our hands on UnMetal, and got to experience the classic stealth and man vs vehicle combat action, we couldn’t put it down. Already labelled by the press as a parody of Metal Gear Solid, with sharp witty writing that can challenge most 80s action movies, UnMetal is that game you have been wanting to play, but just didn’t realize it… until now.” Said Steve Escalante, General Manager of Versus Evil.
You can start your own escape on all the major console stores from today, and UnMetal is also infiltrating Steam, GOG, Epic Game Store, Humble Store, Gamesplanet., VersusEvil.com and all other approved Versus Evil PC retailers.
UnMetal is developed by independent designer Francisco Téllez de Meneses (@unepic_fran) and his team. UnEpic Fran, creator of Unepic, Ghost 1.0, Mini Ghost and Prisoner of War is based in Barcelona, Spain. He creates games for PC and console, and spends his free time developing games for MSX as a hobby.
Marcel Greses is the artist behind UnMetal pixel art, and Jose Jaime Hidalgo is the composer who created the soundtrack. They’re both from Valencia, Spain, and they joined the team in the previous game Ghost 1.0.

There are some games that enter the stage without much fanfare and leave a long-lasting impact. Then you have spiritual sequels, fan-made projects, mods, parodies, and whatnot. Even today, we often read that this or that is game is the Dark Souls of [insert genre]. The combat could be “Zelda-like” or maybe it’s like “Skyrim with guns”. We rarely know what that even means but it’s there to involve a familiar feeling in lieu of “oh, so it’s like that other game we all played? Good!” UnMetal is a game that doesn’t shy away from its inspiration and it owes a lot to the source material. If you played Metal Gear Solid on PsOne, you’ll recognize a lot of references and easter eggs here. But what I want to know is does the game has something of its own or is it just relying on overused references like a bad Seth McFarlane movie. We shall see.
Story
So, you play as Jesse Fox who finds himself imprisoned in a covert military base where he was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit. You must now escape using his dry wits, quick words, improvised skills, an arsenal of warfare, violent explosives, quirky gadgets, and an elaborate explanation of what actually happened. If that all fails, you can always punch people to death (or at least enough to make the unconscious). You quickly escape from prison to the sewers all while trying to learn what is happening and why were you framed.
Gameplay
The story is presented through many flashbacks. Our protagonist Jesse Fox is telling his interrogator how he was captured and about his subsequent escape. You are actually in control during those flashback segments and have to do exactly how Jesse explained his escape to the interrogator. It is a cleverly disguised tutorial that certainly doesn’t feel like one. And right off the bat, we get some 4th wall breaking. Depending on how you behave during gameplay, that might reflect on the narrative of the game. For example, if you happen to repeatedly punch a bunch of unbreakable boxes, the game will switch over to the interrogator’s room where he will just directly ask Jesse Fox what was he trying to accomplish with that behavior. The characters will comment on the weird items you find in the field, on your gameplay style, and sometimes the game will create itself as you play. Sounds weird, I know. On one particular occasion, my character entered a large open prison field until he suddenly proclaimed “hmmm, I remember fighting some soldier with grenades here”. And voila, a boss fight started out of nowhere. A lot of gameplay consists of combining items you find and turning them into something else. That something else is usually an item that will grant you access to a new area. And of course, plenty of secrets to find and soldiers to punch. At least at the beginning. Later on, you get a slingshot and your arsenal only grows from there. It’s up to you to decide if sometimes it is better to sneak around the soldiers or get into a fistfight match with them, knock them unconscious and then strip search them. I usually went with the fisticuffs route. After all, no one will notice you if there is nobody left conscious to notice you, right?
Visuals
Indie at its core. UnMetal comes with pixelated visuals, but the good kind, you know. The kind where you can actually distinguish your character from a background bush. All joking aside, the visuals are distinguishable, high quality, and with a vast color palette, which is pretty impressive considering that the first two sections are set in prison and a sewer. You know, the bane of level designs. Environments are incredibly detailed so much that you won’t have trouble noticing the key items or objects that you have to interact with.
Audio
Now, this is something that took me completely by surprise. Especially since it comes from an indie game with (I assume) a carefully calculated budget. All story segments, character interactions, and flashback moments come with voice acting. And it’s a really good one, let me tell you. It’s pretty obvious that the voice of Jesse Fox is a pretty obvious homage to Solid Snake, but it works. It’s endearing and funny. In any case, UnMetal has incredible voice acting that could put many other indie games to shame.
Overall
It’s on small feat to make a game that’s an homage, a parody, and a deconstruction of the entire series that draws its inspiration from. Yet, UnMetal did just that. It’s a small game that hides a lot of big things inside. But what mainly impresses me is the story and narration. It’s filled with jokes, references, and playful jabs at Metal Gear Solid. Yet it never feels forced and the humor doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s a fun little game that gives you way more than you expected, especially in terms of story and gameplay.

Manage a Flying City using an antigravity device and bring humanity back from the brink of extinction
Wiesbaden, Germany – 28th September, 2021. Today, publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Hexagon Games announced the promising survival city-builder Sphere – Flying Cities is launching in Early Access on Steam next month on 14th October, 2021. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic future and sees players manage the well-being of the Earth’s very first flying city inhabited by the planet’s last remaining humans. Utilizing a mix of strategy, simulation, and survival elements, Sphere ensures there’s no limit to the truly extraordinary and immersive gameplay scenarios that can be constructed.
In the not-so-distant future, Earth’s moon has been struck by a massive asteroid. With the fallout rendering the terrestrial surface uninhabitable, the ecosystem of the planet collapses. Facing complete annihilation, humanity makes one final and desperate attempt to survive — thanks to newly-created anti-gravity technology, the first (and possibly last) faction of flying cities ascends as the ultimate bastion of the human race.
Key Features of Sphere – Flying Cities:
Build It and They Will Come: Erect a living, thriving city with over 30 different building types and maintain your ecosystem via resource management mastery and infrastructure supported by independent economic cycles
Don’t Look Down: Ensure your anti-gravity device and its expanding deflector shield are kept in tip-top shape at all times, as an insufficient power supply will result in a quick (and painful) demise
Send in the Robots: Utilize drones and other scout technologies in hazardous environments to quickly construct buildings, harvest resources, and search for stranded survivors. You may even find rare materials in uncharted territories!
A Geologist in Space: Research new technologies to improve the efficiency of every aspect of your city and withstand a plethora of (un)natural disasters like geomagnetic storms, asteroids, and poisonous clouds
A Delicate Ecosystem: The well-being of your people is crucial to the success of the mission. Carefully tend to the needs of your colonists by supplying food, healthcare, and shelter. But don’t forget, the survival of many may require the deaths of the few — sacrifices are an inevitable imperative.
Developed by Hexagon Sphere Games and published by Assemble Entertainment, Sphere – Flying Cities will make its debut on Steam via Early Access on October 14, 2021, and will be available for £14.99 / €17.99.
Assemble Entertainment has again partnered with a charitable organization to offer a Save the World Edition of the game, this time with Atmosfair, an environmental development organization that focuses on clean energy climate protection projects. The Save the World Edition of Sphere – Flying Cities will include a mini-artbook and bonus in-game cosmetics. Learn more and add the game to your wishlist here.
