    Steel Assault is @zenoviainteractive.bsky.social ‘s very first big project and one of the prettiest games you will ever gaze your eyes at. The game is a linear arcade platformer with a unique latch mechanic that’s hard, doesn’t waste your time, and one of the best soundtracks in the last 5 years…

    Steel Assault is a fun game with an absolutely killer look - like the world’s most gorgeous GBA game.

    Haven't had a chance to play Scott Pilgrim yet, but Neon Inferno is pretty dope. It's like a more involved/hard-core Sunset Riders (there's another 16 bit game similar that im blanking on?). It's the dev that made Steel Assault, which I think is great. Definitely looking forward to playing #blutoid

    Back with another Hidden Gem for SuperJump. This time it's Steel Assault on Steam. Pure 90s arcade craziness. You fight through a pixel-art, post-apocalyptic America armed with nothing but an electric whip and a zip-line. It’s short, it's tough, and it's pretty damn fun. #SteelAssault

    Steel Assault (Modern) Steel Assault is an action platformer If you somehow missed me gushing over this game, it's going on the list. Its controls take some getting used to and can be very demanding, but once you get over that initial hill, it's an enjoyable and rewarding game to learn. Hot jams

    Mhh... maybe because there are already two other games that are inspired by the same game? If I'm not mistaken that is Shatter Hand, known in Japan as Tokkyuu Shirei - Solbrain. The games in question are Prison City and Steel Assault. Eitherway, I say go for it, man. The more the merrier. 👍

    Steel Assault definitely nails this, so it feels like an intentional choice. The game, for better or worse, is a showcase for the art and the music. Which... I think is fine? I wouldn't have minded it being tighter, but I'm also cool with how its turned out.

    With this game and Steel Assault the pixel art and animation is incredible. I quite liked it but it got some criticism for being a short game and I believe this one will be as well. A game you replay to get better and harder difficulties. Top notch pixel art and animation takes a lot of time.

    I forgot how I know about games like that, but I am fairly sure it's the same reason I know about you. Usually www.alphabetagamer.com is a start for me. Same way I knew about similar Pixel stuff like Cyber-Shadow, Panzer Paladin, or Steel Assault.

    I beat Steel Assault. The game was really awesome! Electric Whip, Grappling Mechanic, DOUBLE JUMP, slide that gives you temporary invincibility and an awesome OST! Short and sweet! I recommend it! Thank you all for coming to my stream. = ' ~ ' =

    Completed Steel Assault on very easy which reveals it’s also very short. Good game but maybe a little too reliant on it’s brutal difficulty to artificially lengthen the experience

    Game 1: Steel Assault Developer: Zenovia Interactive Played on: Steam Deck Release: 2021 Playtime: 2 hours 30 minutes Rating: 7.5 Thoughts: Steel Assault is a fun action romp. However, the difficulty needs better balancing. Easy is a breeze, while normal is too unforgiving.

    You know I think I hate Steel Assault. It wants to be a hard game but the designers more focus cool screenshots then actually making satisfying gameplay. I am still going to finish because I am bit broken as a person. I finished plenty of games I hate.

  • Lacquerware @lacquerware.bsky.socialBluesky · Nov 23, 2025

    Okay, just beat Hard. Like Steel Assault, the higher difficulty levels in this game remove checkpoints, so I def recommend starting on Medium or Novice to learn the stages. Arcade mode is just Hard but with no checkpoints and only one life. That's not my cup of tea, but Hard was just right for me.

    The Stylish 2D Action & Crosshair Shooting Game Neon Inferno by Steel Assault developer Zenovia HAS RELEASED! Konami's Mystic Warriors (melee and gunplay-wise), Koei Tecmo/NMK's Riot (enemies assault from the foreground AND background) and NatsumeAtari's Wild Guns quickly came to mind... 🤔

    Played each, quick thoughts! Starting with Neon Inferno. I was a pretty harsh critic of their previous game, Steel Assault. I am more optimistic about this one though. Even better art (somehow), but the base gameplay seems more fun. Will def check out the release. #NeonInferno

    Game Beat #34 Steel Assault (Switch, First Time): A short, tough as nails, awesome arcade like experience. Super fun, great sprite work, tons of options, and a solid game overall, I am so excited to see what else this studio has on the horizon such as Neon Inferno, a good, tough game.

    Games Beaten 2024: #4- Steel Assault I didn't enjoy this one much at all. Grapple mechanic felt sloppy, often in fights the 'intended design choice' felt opaque. Its a purty 2d game but thats the most I can say. No pic for this.
