Steel Assault is available now on the Nintendo eShop and Steam. And again, it’s nice to be able to catch yourself when something tosses you off a cliff for a change. Steel Assault is a compelling, fast action game that pushes you to fight up close, but it’s that zip line and the changes it makes to movement that helps the game stand out. And you best bet your enemies are going to try to break it. Greetings Indie Warriors and welcome to our Steel Assault Review on Steam Steel Assault is also available on the Nintendo Switch. It also means you might be dangling from a killer robot high up in the air with only a bit of wire preventing you from falling. This lets you take some acrobatic risks, find safer ground (as long as there’s two walls close together), and move around in some tight spots. You can fire off the zip line, which shoots out in both directions, and give yourself something to cling to. None of this tumbling off a cliff garbage like in most games. The zip line seemed like a strange tool to bring at first, but it gives Taro some fantastic mobility options. At least the protagonist moves a bit faster than the Belmonts usually do. Kind of like some futuristic vampire hunting, if you ask me. The grappling hook is a great addition with unique uses, though it's a little unreliable at times. Its brevity nicely contrasts with how difficult it can be, and the bosses are fun and distinct. Players looking for a tough, retro-inspired romp will find it, but there. After rolling credits, there’s little to say about it other than that it’s another one of the many, many retro action games currently available. Plus, using a electric whip just feels neat. Steel Assault brings back the arcade feel with tremendous accuracy and care. Steel Assault does what it does well, although at the end of the day I can’t help but feel that it lacks a unique hook. Not that punching is your only tool, as Taro’s electrical whip gives you a bit of range to deal with all of the bullets flying around you. The kind of angry where you just punch robots to pieces. Instead he faces his enemies head-on with what is. A run ‘n’ gun game at heart, Steel Assault adds a twist in that your determined hero, Taro, doesn’t actually make use of guns. You brought your fists, a whip, and some rope.ĭoesn’t seem like many tools to bring to fight gun-toting robots, but Taro’s pretty angry about the state of the world. Playing Steel Assault, you might be reminded of classics such as Contra, Gunstar Heroes, and maybe even Castlevania. In Steel Assault, your cruel dictator foe has brought tons of machine enemies and firearms to bear on you.
