Steel Assault is an action-packed platformer that mimics old-school game design. It has interesting, difficult stages for players to learn through trial and error until they’ve mastered enemy positioning, spacing, movement, and boss patterns. The game perfectly delivers what it sets out to do and makes you feel like you just found an old arcade title that you haven’t played yet. Intriguingly, and on a bit of a side note, the game is published by Tribute Games — the team currently working on the much-anticipated Shredder’s Revenge (a co-op Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beat ’em up.)
Steel Assault is a reminder of gaming’s past, and this brings back both good and bad memories.
Punch, whip, and zipline your way through a post-apocalyptic America in this 16-bit action platformer.
Well, it appears a new SNES title has arrived, as Steel Assault is about as SNES as you can get. This new indie game is action-packed, a nostalgia overload, and genuinely fun. Check out Jason Capp's review for more.
This game is really nice looking but also frustratingly difficult. Highly skilled masochist will like it. The rest of us will kick rocks.
It has 4 difficulty modes, so you can play on Easy and complete it that way. Normal and Hard are definitely rather difficult, but I think the checkpoint system makes all of the modes fairly easy, to be honest.
Thanks I didn't notice there was an easy mode. I'll try it. Hopefully I can enjoy it on easy because I do like the game. The checkpoints are ok. I just think it sucks to have to fight through some part of a level when a boss kills you. Be nice if you could just start over at the boss.
