Steel Assault

"Steel Assault is an incredible retro-inspired game but unfortunately, its credits will roll once you really start vibing with its action-packed campaign. It&s;s a prime example of how sometimes; great gameplay alone isn&s;t quite enough."

"Steel Assault brings back the arcade feel with tremendous accuracy and care. Its brevity nicely contrasts with how difficult it can be, and the bosses are fun and distinct. The grappling hook is a great addition with unique uses, though …"

"Those with a pocket full of quarters and a fervent love for the classics will be right at home with the side-scrolling action of Steel Assault. It might be a bit on the short side, but it encourages absolute mastery …"

"Steel Assault may only take an hour to clear, but that hour is packed full of neat levels, plenty of unique enemies, and challenging bosses – the true arcade experience."

"An excellent arcade action game. The soundtrack is a delight to listen to and fits the fast paced nature of the action to a T. If it has one major flaw, it&s;s that&s;s too short and lacks replayability."

"As recommendations go, Steel Assault is certainly fun for an hour or so, but the price at launch seems high for the amount of content provided. If money isn’t a factor and you’re simply looking for a short and sweet …"

"Steel Assault uses a 16-bit atmosphere to create a great arcade experience. The action is nonstop through the various stages, which impress with creative situations (such as using the zipline) and extravagant confrontations against bosses. Furthermore, the game captivates with …"

"Steel Assault is a fantastic game that is only flawed by one of its quality-of-life additions. Although the checkpoint system does make the storied experience really short, the addition of Arcade Mode is where people are going to get the …"

"Playing Steel Assault is like being teleported back to a time when Sega was doing what Nintendon’t and blast processing was at its heyday. From its pixel-perfect visuals to its retro 2D action mechanics, Steel Assault is akin to video …"

"In many ways, Steel Assault is the best current example of a true arcade-style experience I’ve played. It’s full of action, style and is challenging enough for fans old and new. It even made me fondly recall games like Contra …"

"Run-and-gun shooters were absolutely a consistent staple in the arcades and on consoles back in the day, and that puts a certain amount of pressure on developers in the current day to do anything that feels new and exciting..."

"Steel Assault is a great, action-packed experience that is very easy to recommend to fans of old-school retro arcade games. However, offering only one hour of playtime at that price point may put off newcomers to the genre."

"Zenovia Interactive shows its love for these classic arcade games and that brings out the best in Steel Assault!"

""Recycled metal.""

"Steel Assault is like a bite of an extremely delicious, well-seasoned steak. Just one bite. It lingers in your mind and makes you wish for more, yet in some respects, that&s;s much better than if you were given the whole …"

"All in all, I had a great time with Steel Assault and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes action platformers, especially retro ones. However, it is modeled directly off of old-school arcade games, with all the difficulty and strategic …"

"Steel Assault is one of the cases that I would compare to a good cup of coffee. Enjoyable while it lasts, but something you&s;ll probably forget after a few days. The wide gap between difficulties and the lack of variety …"

"Steel Assault is a simple but solid, retro-feeling, side-scrolling indie platformer that is both enjoyable and challenging. While it would be great to have a few more levels, zipping through the nuclear wastelands of America is still well worth your …"

"Steel Assault is a difficult, but extremely rewarding game. Despite its short campaing, the challenge of beating it with only 1 live will keep you playing for hours and hours."

"Steel Assault is a hell of a lot of fun while it lasts, but unfortunately that’s not likely to be long. After that, there’s not much else to do but play through it again on a harder difficulty or try …"

"A fantastic effort that was well and truly worth the wait, and deserves the full attention of action platform fans young and old."

"Steel Assault nails its presentation, and I&s;m impressed more than enough that I&s;ll keep an eye out for Zenovia Interactive&s;s next release. It does need to look closer at the retro arcade classics of yesteryear that it aims to honor, …"

"I feel like I say this with a lot of games, but I really enjoyed Steel Assault until I didn&s;t anymore. Up to that point, it was really fun, and I have to commend Zenovia Interactive on their effective graphical …"
