TINY METAL is a turn-based strategy game. The player builds up his force consisting of several units and completes the mission on isometric grids. Each unit has it’s own speed which determines the order of movement. The game ends when the player meets their primary objective criteria like “destroy all opposing forces” or “capture enemy headquarters” or fails when the player has no means to complete his/her objective i.e. All of his/her forces had been destroyed.
