Walk to defeat monsters and level up your heroes. Your real steps are the weapon. Walk with friends, fell monsters, and take down the Sunday boss together.
Mettle is a free walking game where your steps are the weapon. Invite your friends to create a party of heroes that encounter monsters. Every real-world step you take deals damage, and defeating monsters earns you coins. Exchange coins to recruit fun heroes, like mage, swordsman, archer, and bard. Level up your heroes by walking to deal more damage per step.
How it works:
- Select your starting hero to level up. When you walk in real life, you deal damage to monsters.
- Create a party and battle side by side with your friends anywhere.
- Deal with fun monster encounters. One minor monster every day, and a super boss every Sunday.
- Steps sync from Apple Health and strike the monster automatically, even while the app is closed.
- Collect a roster of heroes across 24+ lines, feed them XP from your walking, and evolve them into rarer forms.
- Climb the leaderboard with daily and weekly fun competition that rewards the biggest walker.
- Earn and spend coins and embers to recruit heroes and buy potions: an economy fed entirely by walking.
- No ads. Just you, your friends, and lots of walking!
Note from the creator: Hey, I’m Daniel, and I built Mettle to motivate my family and friends to walk more and stay active. The first week of testing was a complete success. Everyone was hooked and genuinely making an effort to walk more to defeat the monsters together, level up their heroes, and climb the leaderboard. I designed and built Mettle entirely on my own. My goal now is to share it with any group that wants to stay active together. Happy walking!
This is a super fun and simple game. We just walk and our steps count toward defeating a monster. Our characters level up by walking too
Found my motivation to walk more!

I really like the way it’s such a simple but great idea. I found myself checking my steps and taking the long, scenic route to increase my damage. Great app!
amazing

Developer Response
Thank you so much! This is the first game I've ever published, so this means a lot. Lots more fun monsters coming soon :)
Fun game

Very simple game. Walk throughout the day and all those steps go towards defeating monsters. Some characters are better against different types of monster types. Only thing I’m not sure about is how often it updates your step count?Do give it a try.
Developer Response
Hey there, developer here. Thanks for your comment! This is the first app I published so yeah, it's simple game :). About updating the step count, it updates instantly from Apple Health whenever you open the app, and in the background it syncs about once an hour (that's an Apple limit on step data). Ending an Apple Watch workout also triggers an immediate background sync.
Hey everyone! Some of you asked for a Discord, so I created a Mettle server. The link is in Settings. Come find people to play with, tell me what's broken, or just say hi. The rest of this update is small: faster syncing, and a long list of fixes.
