Aliens are invading Earth! These eight-tentacled extraterrestrials want revenge for humanity’s reckless
broadcast of the Golden Record from the Voyager probe, which ruined the peace and quiet of their
corner of the universe. The only thing standing between these music-hating creeps and total planetary
domination is...a metal band?
Landing over the sleepy Tokyo suburb of Kichijoji, the invaders abduct an unassuming high school
student and merge his soul with that of Rinko, the drummer in her high school’s outrageous all-girl
metal club. Now sharing Rinko’s body, this unlikely duo will have to team up to take down the aliens
with the only weapon they have: metal.
Joining this pair are their bandmates in K.M.G. (Kichijoji Metal Girls): Kia, super sci-fi nerd and
synthesizer player; Mani, resident rich girl and bassist; Shiimi, delinquent and lead guitarist; and Eri,
gentle giant and backup guitarist. Together, they’ll perfect their music to thwart the aliens and protect
the Earth, all while navigating the rigors of regular school life.
• Jam Your Way – A new spin on traditional music gameplay, Gal Metal eschews predetermined
musical notes and lets the player create their own drumlines based on over a dozen beats.
Practice the beats in your club room after school and wrack up unique combos to blow the aliens
away in live performances!
• Unique Storytelling – Divided up into episodes ending in climactic concerts, the lighthearted
story unfolds in animated manga panels and text messages brimming with personality. The
manga reads right-to-left for an authentically Japanese experience.
• Be an After-School Specialist – In between performances to take on the pesky aliens, you’ll
manage your own life as a student. Improve your skills and friendships by doing part-time jobs,
hanging out with your friends, and jamming in the club room.
• Show Your True Mettle – While the basic gameplay of Gal Metal is simple to learn, players who
master the beats can earn millions of points by creating complex performances. How much
metal power can you score?

SPECS
Unleash the Power of Metal
Gal Metal is a rhythm game designed for Nintendo Switch™ that turns your Joy-Con™ into drum sticks.
The Joy-Con™ (L) and Joy-Con™ (R) produce different sounds, and swinging them together creates a
cymbal crash. The game can also be played with a Pro Controller, but no matter how you choose to jam,
you’ll be creating awesome drum lines in no time. By fashioning your own beats to the game’s library of
songs, you’ll earn metal power that can be turned against the aliens!
