Nexus, your creator, has one goal for you: Follow orders, and maybe you will be able to save the inanimate colonists trapped in the Citadel.” “One of the most unique gameplay mechanics in Metal Eden is Core Ripping.

In this post, we’ll delve into how you can master this ability to dominate your foes and make the most of Aska’s powerful skills,” Reikon Games brand director Jakub Izydorczyk added. “While exploring Moebius you will stumble upon drones. When hacked they will provide a Body Module, which ASKA can use to empower her Core, make her capabilities even stronger and provide her with potent options to turn the tide of battle.
