About Metis One
The year is 20XX. Mayday! Distress call from ERIS BASE! Through the void comes a dark warning to the inhabitants of JUPITER colony METIS ONE. A mysterious ALIEN FORCE is on the attack in the SOL SYSTEM. The people of EARTH have sent their most powerful fighter, the A-6 GRAVITUS, to repel the invasion and defend the free colonies. Receiver in hand, will you answer the call...?
Begin the game with access to two fighters: the A6-Gravitus (shown in blue) and the Quaternion B4 (in red). Each fighter has a unique special weapon which can be fired when fully charged.
• The Gravitus' special weapon is the Deflector Shields. Perform a defensive aileron roll that temporarily activates electro-magnetic shields to deflect enemy fire, allowing you to safely pass through the enemies barrage of lasers.
• The Quaternion's special weapon is the Ion Twist Cannon. Once fired this cannon unleashes a large volley of lasers to slice through the enemy lines. Use this to take down bosses quickly.
• Unlock 3 more unique fighters, each with their own devastating special weapon, by completing certain challenges in the campaign mode.
Power up your fighters' destructive and defensive capabilities by collecting one of four power up drops. Including Armor Up, Orbitals, Sidewinders and more...
Two gameplay modes!
• In Campaign Mode blast through 5 stages of alien squadrons, each more challenging than the last. Features two difficulty levels for novice, or advanced players. This mode can be played either solo, or in co-op mode. Uncover the mysteries of deep space to unlock the secret final stage and truly save the Sol System from destruction.
• Hit up the Simulation Bay on Eris Base to do some flight training and test your skills in Score Attack mode. This endless mode scales in difficulty the longer you last. Go for the Hi Score to prove yourself the best pilot.
Metis One also features full controller support as well as keyboard input. It has a 9:16 Tate mode for a more immersive a complete game field. Hi Scores boards to track your greatest victories! Giant Bosses to test your skill! Fancy 3-D graphics! Fail States galore!
Included with the game is the 21 track Out of this World Original Soundtrack by Cloe Song!

Awesome old school shooter. Hard as hell, but super satisfying when you figure it out. Kick ass stylized graphics and super carefully designed. Music is fantastic as well. Local co-op will take you back to the glory days of video games. A labor of love for the developer and well worth the price.2 found this helpful
First review I've ever left on Steam. Normally I'm late to the party and don't think what I have to say will be noticed, but this game deserves more attention. I grew up playing games in arcades, and I would have thrown a lot of quarters at Metis One. It's a new, true old-school classic. Don't expect to just blow through everything. Need good reactions, but that's not going to get you through everything. You're going to have to get down the patterns and timing and really learn where to be before you need to be there. That takes playing, failing, memorizing, and playing again. Thankfully, it doesn't take another quarter every few lives. Also has some cool throwback options in the menus. Personally I love the old Super C style soundtest. - Graphics are fun and the color scheme is rad. - Soundtrack and audio belong in an arcade. They fit the game perfectly. - Level design is cool. Progressing to a new point is always interesting. Would definitely recommend for any other arcade veterans or for anyone that wants to experience what those games were like. Just remember, you're going to die a lot, but it's always fair...you'll know why you died and how to beat that part next …1 found this helpful
