Can machines think? Metal Mind is on Xbox

For many, it’s just a matter of time before machines take over the world. For others, they’ll happily make do with the release of Metal Mind on Xbox. 

Arriving on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as the first game from the indie developer Whirlaxy, Metal Mind drops to console via the E-Home Entertainment team. What’s fascinating about this one is that it has been put together by an artist who has previously worked on the likes of Final Fantasy and Assassin’s Creed. For that alone, we’re interested to see how Metal Mind fares. 

Priced at £14.99 on the Xbox Store, Metal Mind tells of a sci-fi world in which humans have been able to create self-developing AI. And yeah, it’s going about as well as you could imagine. It’s here where you come across an anthropomorphic AI, as well as a group made up of the most senior of politicians, scientists and more. As a collective, they don’t think the AI should be allowed to utiilise its own intelligence and self-awareness. The android hunt begins. 

The question is, can machines think? Should they be ALLOWED to? You’ll get to find out in this 2D action RPG fused with roguelike mechanics. 

Key features of Metal Mind on Xbox
