Play A Metal Hack Demo Online

A Metal Hack Demo feels like stumbling onto some forgotten SNES cartridge in a dusty thrift store—in the best way possible. You grab your sword, dive into these compact dungeons, and immediately start hacking through enemies with this weighty, satisfying slash that sends pixelated blood splattering. It’s got that rough-around-the-edges charm where everything’s a little clunky but weirdly addictive.

I thought it’d just be another generic action RPG, but there’s something about the way your character lumbers around, swinging a sword twice their size, that makes combat feel oddly deliberate. The demo’s short—like, "wait, that’s it?" short—but it’s got this raw energy that makes you wish someone had fleshed it out into a full game. If you’ve ever wanted a darker, faster Secret of Mana with more chopping and less talking, this is worth a spin.
