Metal Arms: Glitch in the System/Gameplay

Metal Arms consists of 42 separate levels. Here, the player will take control of the game's main protagonist, Glitch, viewing his actions through an over-the-shoulder third person perspective. Over seventeen weapons are accessible to the player, most of which can be upgraded through the use of upgrade kits strewn about in various locations in the Campaign.

Although level design for Metal Arms is linear, there is more than one way to complete objectives. The game provides a multitude of standard-fare shooter weapons, such as flamethrowers, machine guns, various types of Grenades, shotguns, rocket launchers, et cetera, to push through levels with brute force. To contrast, it also includes a relatively unique weapon- the Control Tether. The Control Tether, as its namesake implies, allows the Player to directly control enemy forces and use their own firepower against them.
