Back in August, one-man Korean indie studio Studio HG announced Metallic Child, an action game featuring a robot named Rona who attacks with a giant hammer and metal fists. Recently, Studio HG has shared a first look at the game on Switch on Twitter, as well as some of the appearing enemies. Check out the gameplay below:
