About Metal March: Beginner Experience

Metal March: Beginner Experience is a free playable preview game of Metal March.
This version game is includes 1 race and 1 region, a total of 2-3 hours of playable time. You'll see the overall flow of the game, the initial strategy, etc.
The full game includes the following!
- CHESS-inspired turn-based strategy game mixed with card collection genres.
- (Based on our current updates) Select your troops from 5 races
- Race-themed areas
- 7 types of unique troops and 10 types of unique magic powers per race
- More than 10 types of troops and 20 types of magic shared among troops
- More than 40 kinds of relics

The world has turned into complete chaos. The fragile peace between races has shattered and trust is in short supply. As tensions rise and old alliances crumble, all the races are now preparing for an expedition to the World's Roof. Which one of the races will be the first to reach the Roof? Only YOU will be the one to know.

Get ready for an epic adventure to claim the powerful relics atop the World's Roof!
Remember, you must be the first to take over the relics at the World's Roof before others. But beware, time is running out. You must be the first to reach the relics before others.

With the help of the Wandering Wizard, you can briefly monitor the battlefield and control your troops.
You can identify each of your troops with tin dolls with different appearances.

All troops have their own movement / attack patterns.
In addition to the attributes and characteristics of the troop's powers, these movement and attack patterns are also essential factors that you need to consider in strategy.

Thoroughly plan your strategy and win. Effectively win the battle by moving troops where the enemy can't counter-attack and quickly retreating to a position the enemy cannot follow. Strategies like this will matter.


MAGIC can be a key that completes your strategy.
With Magic, you can either protect or strengthen your team. You can also choose a strategy that destroys enemies with magic attacks.
Your magic combination also plays a vital role in the battle. Even within the same collaboration of troops, strategies vary depending on which magic spells you cast and in what order.
There are 4 races that you can select for your troops. Each race has its own strengths and weaknesses.
You can overcome the weaknesses of your race with the skills and magics of other races.
To succeed at the beginning of the expedition, some races need to focus on using their unique strengths while others need to work on overcoming their weaknesses.
There is another way to strengthen your troops and magic skills... RELICS! RELICS provide special effects and synergies in ways that can't be obtained from other sources.
With relics, you can increase your income during the expedition, add beneficial effects before starting a battle, strengthen certain types of troops & magic powers, and weaken your enemies.
You can only activate a limited number of relics, but you can replace them at any time except during battle.
Choose and use relics according to your needs and circumstances!

Players appreciate the game's polished visuals, interesting card-based combat system, and the developer's active engagement with the community, with some finding enough promise in the early access to support the team. However, the pacing feels slow and boring to many, the generic fantasy story fails to engage, and the 3D troop presentation looks underwhelming from the overhead perspective despite solid character design.

Too slow and boring, I really did not enjoy this. At least It was easy to get the achievements but It was still not fun.2 found this helpful
6/10 A TBS with card-based magic abilities. Good: - the basic combat system seems interesting - 3D gfx are nice overall. I was surprised that the game was made by just 2 ppl. The female mage character is kinky! - 2D elements of the UI are also quite nice. In general, the game has a nice polished look So-so: - the story seems to be generic fantasy. I see that they attempt to find a reason for the fighting but it's not very convincing or interesting. Though I just don't like fantasy, maybe other players will have a different view - the 3D presentation of troops doesn't work that well. You end up looking at your own troops from above and see basically gray circles. The 3D figures are done well but when they are just gray (like tin soldiers) it looks like a cheap board game. That's kinda in contrast with the otherwise colorful, interesting presentation of the rest of the game (backgrounds, table, the girl character, the images on the cards) - movement of the units: they jump between tiles as if they were chess pieces. This also doesn't fit the good overall quality of the 3D graphics - there are some 3D animations (like, when the girl throws everything up in the air and puts down a ne…1 found this helpful
