Our take on Steam and Metal
Players who expect detailed stage exploration may hit a wall when the game’s central loop becomes shooting through enemy-filled levels. The description gives no indication of other activities beyond navigating the stages, fighting enemy waves, and facing bosses.
What is Steam and Metal?
Steam and Metal is a scrolling shooter set in a steampunk world.
Players pilot an experimental steam-powered aircraft as the professor’s daughter, who sets out to avenge her father after he is killed and his blueprints are stolen. The gameplay centers on moving through pixel-art levels and shooting waves of enemies, with large bosses also appearing. The vendor describes the levels as handcrafted, but provides no further detail about their layout or structure. The action is framed around clearing areas crowded with enemies by firing at them.
