New Blip: Steel Assault

Developer Sri Kankanahalli presents Steel Assault, a retro throwback actioner styled after late-era 8-bit games like Shatterhand and Sunsoft’s Batman, using many (but not all) of the hardware restrictions of the NES. In the year 2040, the economy of the United States has collapsed, resulting in a civil war that results in the rise of a cruel new leader. You play the part of a resistance soldier using a robotic suit to free the country from this terrible new ruler. The hero defeats many of his foes using his robot fists, but an arsenal of projectile weapons is available as well, including grenades and a short range energy beam.

Steel Assault will be blasting its way to PC in May of 2016.
