The Lucian Corp's [=CEO=], Lucian, makes a deal with Oberon, king of the Metaloids, to have the rights to mine the planet's resources in exchange with allowing the Metaloids to have access to their technology.

11	----
12	!!''Metaloid: Origin'' contains examples of:
13	* ActionGirl: Erika and Neva. Zeta doesn't qualify, on account of being [[https://steamcommunity.com/app/974390/discussions/0/2146469724203716914/ a guy]].
14	* AmbiguousRobots: The [[LittleBitBeastly Metaloids]] are referred to as a "[[MechanicalLifeforms biomechanical race]]", though what this actually means is unclear. Civillian Metaloids, as seen in the intro, have few, if any, overtly overtly robotic features; however, all of the Metaloids who have been seen with their shoulders exposed (Erika, Neva, and the unnamed kidnapping victim seen in the intro) appear to have vaguely mechanical-looking lines/cracks on their upper arms[[note]]Keep in mind that all three of these characters are female, so it [[WildMassGuessing could]] be a case of BizarreSexualDimorphism.[[/note]]. The Predators, however, have more overtly robotic features, implying that they might be the equivalent of [[{{Cyborg}} cyborgs]].
15	* AnimeHair: All over the place, but most prominent with Zeta.
16	* BigBad: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Lucian]].
17	* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Since the enemies are all robotic in origin, they tend to blow up when they're beaten.
18	* ExplodingBarrels: The game has red barrels that explode when shot.
19	* ExposedToTheElements: The girls continue to wear their highly revealing outfits in all manner of environments. Presumably, as MechanicalLifeforms, they're more resistant to extreme conditions than humans. That is assuming their "clothes" aren't part of their bodies.
20	* FloatingPlatforms: The game has these.
21	* GamerChick: Erika. Half her dialogue seems to consist of video game references.
22	* HumongousMecha: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Lucian]] brings one out for the [[FinalBoss final battle]]]]. It's called "Origin Titan".
23	* LeotardOfPower: Erika wears one with a short jacket over the top. [[{{Stripperiffic}} It leaves little to the imagination.]]
24	* LittleBitBeastly: The Metaloids appear to be a race of lion people, and Neva's helmet resembles [[PlayboyBunny rabbit ears]].
25	* MechanicalLifeforms: The Metaloids, though [[AmbiguousRobots precisely ''how'' mechanical is unclear]].
26	* MoreDakka: Neva's default weapon.
27	* NavelOutline: Erika's outfit features one.
28	* PlayingWithFire: Erika's powers are fire-based.
29	* {{Retraux}}: Done in 16-bit style graphics.
30	* RobotGirl: Erika and Neva.
31	* ShockAndAwe: Zeta's powers seem to revolve around electricity.
32	* SideView: The game is viewed this way.
33	* SpikesOfDoom: The Predators will take damage if they come in contact with spikes.
34	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Erika's outfit shows ''a lot'' of skin[[note]]Assuming that even ''is'' skin.[[/note]], particularly around her crotch and sides, and also leaves her shoulders exposed. Neva's outfit isn't as bad, but still leaves her upper thighs, shoulders and stomach exposed. Averted with [[TheOneGuy Zeta]], as his (admittedly odd) armour [[DoubleStandard covers everything from the neck down]], except his fingers.
35	* TwoGirlsAndAGuy: What, [[ViewerGenderConfusion you thought Zeta was a girl?]]
36	* WrenchWench: Neva's dialogue and the names of achievements relating to her paint her as this.
