Set in a dieselpunk world besieged by cobbled together, oddly chitinous alien robots, the Steel Rats biker gang are the only ones left that are able to fight back in Coastal City. It’s a big mash-up of several genres, though, which makes it equal parts intriguing and difficult to explain – made all the trickier without gameplay footage and just concept artwork to show."
"The Poland-based indie games publisher and game developer Tate Multimedia today announced that their unique 2.5D combat racer game "Steel Rats" is going free-to-play for PC (via Steam) and Xbox One (via the Microsoft store) until April 4th, 2021." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
James writes - "When Steel Rats was originally announced back in 2017, I was pretty pumped to see whether this adrenaline-fuelled motorbike-centric action game could deliver on all of its aims. Developers and publishers, Tate Multimedia, wanted to create an experience that called out to those who like to brawl, pull off awesome stunts and just generally race. Despite missing the initial release date, Steel Rats is now finally here on Xbox One to try and entertain the masses, but does it succeed in everything it set out to do?"
For a motorcycle 2.5D platformer, Steel Rats oozes style with every fiber of its being, though a small tune-up from a mechanic wouldn’t be the worst idea either.
