Steel Empire

It's not bad or anything, but it's just kinda "meh". The sound and visuals are not great either. Still, it's not horrible. Just not recommended.

Old Genesis classic plays great on the Deck

Древнее гомно мамонта с консоли Mega Drive. Это не ремейк, а порт порта, соответственная этому и графика в маленьком окошке, а на полный экран просто растянутые пиксели. В трейлере даже покрасивее выглядит чем на деле, ярче что ли, сама игра блеклая и в коричневых тонах. Музыка ужасная, не смог долго выдержать и вырубил после первого уровня. Звуки тоже не ахти какие и в двух уровнях с противным скрежетом. Необычное и редкое управление для игр - здесь стрелочками кидаешь бомбы и стреляешь, а не управляешь самолётом как можно было бы подумать, но на самом деле удобное. Достижения выдаются в конце игры на титрах, что странно, поэтому изначально можно решить что они глючные. Играть не интересно, есть и лучше скролл-шутеры, положительные отзывы ставили ностальгирующие скуфы кто играл в оригинал.

If you don't mind one of the Steam achievements being almost unobtain-ium than go for it. Keep in mind this is an old Sega game and overlook some obvious flaws: 1) Lots of Orange/Yellow Enemy Bullets clashing with the Player's Orange/Yellow Bullets 2) The game may crash from time to time , Don't try to Save Replays. It will crash the game 3) Button Inputs are broken in menus. 4) The Final Boss takes freaking forever to kill . It is a 15-20minute slog thru like 15 phases. It's not overly hard even in Hard Mode, but it gets sooooo old so fast bc you have to dodge the same mundane pattern for about 2-3mins due to the amount of health the boss has and environmental walls blocking your shot. 5) In-Game Achievements. There is an achievement for not dropping bombs. You may notice that no matter your button configuration, you will drop bombs when you shoot with a controller. To get around this.... -------- As far as the bombs, you must be holding down the Fire Forward Button before the start of the whole level, and then never take your fingers off the forward fire button. If you do take your finger off, then press shoot again, it will fire a bomb. You can still press down on rear shot to shoot backwards while holding forward shot. On Level 6, you go into a tunnel midway thru the level. You need to hold the fire backwards button at the start of this level or you will drop a bomb. -------- On the plus side, I do find the old school artwork enjoyable. It is relatively relaxed compared to a lot of flashy bullet hells we see these days. It was a dollar and a half on sale so it's an easy recommend if you want a laid back 90s shmup with a steampunk theme.

A great port of the SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis classic! (the option to use a Dualshock 4 is great too!)

Nice game, but nobody worldwide has all the achievements for this game due to the one to complete on Diffcult mode without using bombs or getting shot down. No lies. It's 100% pure absolutely truth. This is what they didn't want you to know about.

Uno de los mejores shot em ups que puedes jugar, una curva de aprendizaje muy buena para los que quiera empezar o bien un reto para los ya curtidos, muchos niveles de dificultad y muy rejugable para ir desbloqueando ayudas o logros.

Remake do remake do remake kkk, joguei muito no Megadrive, ainda tenho o cartucho original, é um shmup honesto e com uma temática diferenciada que lhe rendeu bastante burburinho na época de seu lançamento, estava em todas revistas, principalmente nas gringas, Nem de longe se compara a lendas como Gaiares, Truxton, Sagaia, Thunder Force IV e diversos outros. Desde o Mega é um Shmup para as massas e não para os aficionados do gênero. Essa versão para PC é muito competente porém extremamente fácil mesmo nos níveis com dificuldade elevada. Um jogo casual e que rende boas horas de divertimento, e, até nostálgico para matusaléns como eu. Se vc procura um shmup mais desafiador entretanto, mantenha distância. Nessa mesma linha de remakes de shmups caricatos, aqui mesmo no Steam tem o Monkey King: Master of the Clouds, da mesma HOT-B, um verdadeiro "Pain in the Ass", um remake para PC com dificuldade mais elevada que qualquer port do passado.

I played this game to death back on my Sega Genesis back in the 90s, so I was happy to find out there was a remake to it; in fact, I was surprised that there was a remake in the first place. It's fun, brings back fond memories of when I use to play it back in the day. The graphics are decent, nothing to write home about but it's a nice upgrade from the original. The arranged music is a bit hit or miss with me, maybe because I'm biased to the original soundtrack. I wish they gave the option to switch between the two. Some of the text in the game seems kinda off, like some spots weren't translated well. Other than that, it's a decent remake. I'd get it on sale if you're not a diehard shump fan, or don't have a history with the original game like I do. Also, works great on Steam Deck!
