In Campaign mode, follow ace tank commander
Nathan Gries
and an alliance of courageous friends
as they stand against
a threat that could annihilate the
nations
of Artemisia, Zipang, and the entire world.
As entities from the long-forgotten Great War rise to the surface in the Graveyard of Ships, all the calamities of that catastrophic conflict seem destined to happen again.
It’s up to you to safeguard the future from the sins of the past!
Lead a storm of land, sea, and air forces to ultimate victory in the grid-based tactical battle simulation game TINY METAL 2! As the commander, YOU decide what units to produce, what resources to capture, and when to attack. Can you triumph against an alliance of fearsome enemies, or will you be crushed under the treads of their advance?
TINY METAL 2 has been built from the ground up to support both couch co-op and online cooperative play. Every Campaign mode map, and many Skirmish mode maps, feature allied commanders sharing resources and working together to finish the fight.
With over 15 playable commanders, there’s plenty of room to experiment and find the
perfect character to fit your style. Each commander applies passive buffs to
specific units, has a unique Ultra Power to unleash in emergencies, and can be
upgraded to unlock unit customization and side-story content in the Commander
Upgrade screen.
TINY METAL 2 features 10 all-new commanders in addition to the
returning cast.
For the first time in the series, take to the waves with a fleet of naval military hardware. In addition to various classes of surface vessels, use submarines and transport ships to establish maritime domination – or launch a fleet of fighters from aircraft carriers and dominate the skies, too!

Major Nathan Gries
The protagonist of this story. Having distinguished himself as a young captain, Nathan has been promoted to Major and carries out missions alongside his comrades Dante, Wolfram, and Nora. Just as he is entrusted with command of the newly established Artemisian Navy, a hero from fifty years in the past, “Adonis”, makes a sudden return.Adonis is determined to guide Artemisia to greatness. But behind the scenes, a plot begins to unfold around a mysterious device, the “Star of Artemisia”, which was entrusted to Nathan by his mentor, Lindberg. As the schemes of other nations become intertwined, Nathan finds himself ensnared in a fierce struggle of conspiracy and conflict.
Adonis
A celebrated admiral from the past who mysteriously vanished following his service during The Great War. He was believed to have been lost to history, but a certain event has found him taking command of the front lines once again—this time alongside Nathan and his allies.
Colonel Dante Carver
Since the war with the Kingdom of Dinolda, Dante has been a central figure in the Artemisian Armed Forces, spearheading its most critical missions. However, as he becomes entangled in political machinations and wars he never sought, his once-unshakeable loyalty begins to waver.
Wolfram
The leader of the stateless mercenary group, “White Fangs”. Though she projects a calm and dispassionate demeanor, she is, in fact, a deeply compassionate person. She is driven by the ambition to create a haven for her people—a mix of war migrants and refugees—and all others seeking asylum. Despite her leadership role, she often fights alongside her troops, maintaining her reputation as a legendary sniper.
C.E.O. Nora Godwin
Nora Godwin is the president and genius mechanic of Metaclyon Corporation, a company that develops and supports military units. She is usually busy pioneering new inventions or manufacturing a wide array of mechanical units—a portfolio that currently includes the development of a next-generation battleship for the Artemisia Navy. When she’s not inventing or maintaining machinery, she can be found visiting excavation sites to search for fragments of “Lost Tech”—technology that was lost during the Great War. She is constantly driven by her pursuit of undiscovered, fascinating technology.
POKOTA
An automaton with the name “Pokota” inscribed on it. Its creator and original purpose are unknown, and its true identity remains a mystery—due to its refusal to let anyone examine its inner workings. Pokota appears to know Adonis, but the nature of their relationship is still unclear.
Lord General
Isoroku Tsukumo
Tsukumo is the head of the powerful Tsukumo clan, which governs a vast territory in Zipang. He serves as the military’s highest-ranking general: the Shogun. He is a leader and diplomat who shapes national policy. And he commands the strength of a warrior to back his decisions. A silent and cautious samurai who values duty and responsibility, he is nonetheless highly popular among the people.Despite his traditional roots, he holds a progressive vision for his country. He believes Zipang must end its isolationist policies, open its borders, and modernize the nation. However, many powerful figures within the country oppose his ideas. Despite the opposition, Tsukumo remains firm in his belief that the country's isolation must end—for Zipang and the world to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.
Kohaku Izumo
A Shadow-Captain in the intelligence unit of the Zipanese special forces, Kohaku has served for years under the command of Lord General Tsukumo. She is a formidable operative, known for her unwavering loyalty and flawless track record in completing any given task—which has garnered her Tsukumo's profound trust. Although generally taciturn and secretive, she is a daughter of the noble House Izumo.
Recently, the public has been abuzz with news that the prestigious House Tsukumo and House Izumo families will be joined by marriage—Tsukumo will become not only Kohaku's commander, but also her husband.
Kaguya Izumo
Izumo is an unparalleled tactical mastermind and a shrewd politician. She has single-handedly raised her house to a position of great power in Zipang, but she is little known beyond Zipang's borders. As secretive as she is wily, she personally gave Kohaku her first lessons in stealth, subterfuge, and outmaneuvering opponents. Unlike Tsukumo, Izumo is quite comfortable with Zipang's seclusionist policy, and would prefer an even more isolated and culturally quarantined Zipang. She has recently made a bold statement by accepting command of the Zipanese Second Fleet, putting her military influence on par with that of Tsukumo. It seems her aspirations within Zipang's political sphere are only just coming to light.
A Zipanese poet once described Izumo as the "Lotus of the Waves"... but since lotuses don't grow in salt water, Izumo disliked the epithet and the poet has since disappeared.
