How co-op works
Online co-op for up to four players defends a Scottish island across campaigns, with shared progression through unlockable upgrades and coordinated efforts to repel invaders extracting power from the Mother Stone.
About this game
Tears of Metal drops you into a fight for a Scottish island under siege, where an enemy faction carves into the Mother Stone to drain its energy. Playing solo or with up to three teammates online, you join a battalion determined to push back the invasion and protect the ancient source at the heart of your homeland.

Each campaign introduces new upgrades that carry across your runs, shaping how your squad approaches combat, defense, and resource management. Coordination matters as you rally forces, hold key positions, and time your assaults to disrupt the enemy's extraction operation before the Mother Stone's power runs dry.
The roguelite structure encourages experimentation with different loadouts and tactics, while the upgrade system ensures that even failed runs contribute to your team's long-term strength. Communication-heavy teamwork and adaptive strategy keep the co-op experience fresh across repeated attempts to reclaim the island.
