Story
The setting revolves around a war (sometime in the future) on a planet called Helios, where humans have settled. Enemy spacecraft have followed them from Earth and are attempting to exterminate the colony. Project Gunmetal is a massive operation which oversaw the creation of a supremely powerful war machine. In its primary form, a walking "humanoid" mech many dozens of feet high, it possesses a range of 24 weapons and an electronic shield. At the push of a button, it transforms into an advanced fighter jet (reminiscent of a modern fighter jet).

Gameplay
Gun Metal allows players to pilot a futuristic mech (named the Havoc Suit) which can transform into a plane (the Havoc Jet). The mech (and plane) can use various weapons in their loadout, about 4 can be used for both the mech and plane independently (8 in total). It possesses a total of 24 weapons to use, ranging from napalm, pulse cannons, harpoons and rockets.
Gun Metal contains 14 missions, each with various objectives that must be completed in order to advance. As the player progresses through the game, additional weapons are unlocked, allowing for multiple loadout options, thus providing more replayability and alternative combat engagement.
