Steel Assault

嗯，游戏画面、音乐都不错，就是不好玩。 怎么说呢，难度设计靠故意恶心你，而不是FC时代那种爽快感，喜欢故意刁难你，但又很肤浅的那种。 而且游戏挺短的，也没啥好挑战的，抛绳子的设计也没啥意义

Quite a solid arcade-style platformer. It can be pretty challenging but once you get into the groove of things there's a very satisfying rhythm to the action. I also like that the aesthetics make it feel like something uncovered from the GBA and DS era.

A nivel artístico es una barbaridad. Pero la dificultad está muy mal balanceada. "Fácil" es demasiado fácil, mientras que la "normal" es bastante difícil. Llegué hasta más de mitad del juego en normal, pero tuve que hacer otra partida en fácil porque no conseguía avanzar y no es ese juegazo como Dark Souls o Cuphead que te incita a reintentarlo tantas veces. Y en fácil fue tan fácil que aburrió. Creo que simplemente no estaba en el mood de un juego tan exigente, pero al fin y al cabo me aburrió.

Steel Assault, developed by Zenovia Interactive and published by Tribute Games, is a side-scrolling action platformer that proudly wears its retro inspirations on its sleeve. Set in a devastated future America decades after a catastrophic war, the game follows resistance soldier Taro Takahashi as he rises against the oppressive rule of industrial tyrant Magnus Pierce. While its premise echoes the straightforward narratives of classic arcade adventures, Steel Assault quickly distinguishes itself through its energetic pacing, polished mechanics, and remarkable dedication to recreating the spirit of late-1980s and early-1990s action games. At the heart of the experience is an agile combat system built around Taro's versatile electric whip. Unlike traditional side-scrolling heroes restricted to a handful of attack directions, Steel Assault allows players to strike across multiple angles while combining their offense with slides, jumps, and aerial maneuvers. The addition of a zipline mechanic proves to be one of the game's most memorable features, enabling players to latch onto environmental hooks and swing across hazardous areas or reposition during intense battles. This mobility creates a satisfying rhythm where players are constantly moving, dodging enemy projectiles, and looking for opportunities to strike back. The controls are exceptionally responsive, making every success feel earned and every mistake a lesson in timing. The game's level design consistently introduces new hazards and visual themes, ensuring the short campaign never loses momentum. Stages range from ruined metropolitan landscapes to moving trains and heavily fortified industrial facilities, all filled with robotic enemies and environmental threats. Boss encounters are particularly impressive, demanding mastery of the movement system while showcasing imaginative enemy designs. Steel Assault embraces challenge in the best possible way; it is difficult without feeling unfair, encouraging players to improve through repetition rather than relying on artificial difficulty spikes. Presentation is another area where the game excels. Its pixel art is beautifully detailed, capturing the essence of the 16-bit era while benefiting from modern artistic techniques. Character animations are fluid, backgrounds are layered with care, and the vibrant color palette helps every environment stand out. Optional visual settings, including CRT-inspired effects, further enhance the nostalgic atmosphere for players seeking an authentic retro experience. Rather than simply copying the past, Steel Assault feels like an idealized version of what players remember classic action games looking like. The soundtrack complements the visuals perfectly, combining electronic beats, heavy guitar influences, and arcade-inspired melodies into an energetic package that elevates the action. Each level is accompanied by tracks that reinforce its identity, while boss themes effectively increase the sense of urgency. Combined with sharp sound effects and excellent pacing, the audio design contributes significantly to the game's immersive quality. It is evident that the developers approached every aspect of the presentation with a deep appreciation for the genre's legacy. Steel Assault's most noticeable drawback is its length. The main campaign can be completed in a relatively short amount of time, especially by experienced players familiar with retro platformers. Although higher difficulty settings, Arcade Mode, and replay opportunities offer additional value, some players may wish there were more stages to explore. However, the game's replayability stems from its arcade roots, rewarding mastery and encouraging players to refine their performance with every attempt. It is a title designed to be revisited rather than experienced only once. Ultimately, Steel Assault succeeds because it understands its audience. It delivers a tightly crafted action experience that balances nostalgia with modern sensibilities, offering fast gameplay, excellent presentation, and memorable mechanics without unnecessary distractions. Its campaign may be brief, but nearly every moment is packed with excitement and craftsmanship. For fans of classic side-scrollers and arcade-inspired adventures, Steel Assault stands as one of the better examples of how to modernize a beloved formula while remaining faithful to its origins. Rating: 8/10

What a gem! It's old school beauty with modern refinement. A truly great pixel art and animation. As the other game from the devs (Zenovia) it just achieves visual and animation and mechanics perfection. It's old school tough but fair and is helped immensely by generous checkpoints thus allowing me to git gud without frustration. It has to be said that it's Avery light game so it runs perfectly in steam deck and on PC emulation on Android handhelds, in fact I think it's the best way to play them. If you're playing on a big screen with great resolution, an app such as free steam app: screen shader can give that old school CRT feeling and improve the experience IMO.

Vine a Steel Assault tras jugar Neon Inferno, ya que nunca había jugado el primer título de los chicos de Zenovia y, tras jugar a este último, quería conocer también este primer juego. Steel Assault es un juego mucho más sencillo en todos los aspectos. Jugablemente estamos ante un run and gun 100% lateral en el que nuestra arma principal es un látigo que podemos usar en las 8 direcciones y que podremos potenciar con un power up que le añade ataque a distancia de rayo. Además de este power up, también podremos encontrar un escudo y recargas de vida, siendo estos 3 los únicos objetos que encontraremos durante el juego. Para mí la mecánica más interesante es la de la "cremallera" o cuerdas que podremos lanzar en ambos sentidos en la dirección que escojamos y que, al impactar en la pared, nos permiten agarrarnos a ambas cuerdas para quedar suspendidos en el aire. Esto le da un toque distinto a la jugabilidad, pues permite fases verticales en las que deberemos ir escalando, bosses que nos obligaran a quedar suspendidos en el aire, etc. A esto sumamos una buena variedad de enemigos y situaciones y nos queda un juego bastante disfrutable a nivel jugable. La jugabilidad me ha parecido divertida, pero el juego se hace muy corto ya que cuenta únicamente 5 escenarios, con boss final y algún mini-boss intermedio, que además puedes pasarte en poco tiempo una vez los conoces (menos de 1 hora, como si de un juego de Mega Drive y SNES se tratase). En el modo difícil una sola muerte te obliga a reiniciar el capítulo, lo cual puede alargar la duración del juego pero a la vez se siente injusto en algunos momentos ya que, por ejemplo, una caída al vacío es muerte instantánea. En el resto de modos hay 2-3 checkpoints en cada capítulo, haciendo la experiencia bastante más asequible. Aún así, estoy seguro que si eres un jugador hardcore el modo difícil te va a gustar, ya que convierte el título en un juego que requiere mucha destreza y precisión. Gráficamente estamos ante un juego más estilo 16 bits puro. El píxel art está trabajado y ya se nota el buen hacer que los chicos de Zenovia explotarían al 100% en Neon Inferno. A nivel musical y sonoro el juego cumple de sobra, con una banda sonora bastante cañera que la verdad es que te mete mucho en el título. En definitiva, si te gustan los juegos al más puro estilo 16 bits clásico, Steel Assault puede ser una opción para tí, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que a día de hoy está prácticamente regalado. Yo lo recomiendo, pues he pasado un buen rato con él!
