Steel Assault review

90%Steel Assault review --- Tough as steel
Steel Assault brings back the arcade feel with tremendous accuracy and care. Its brevity nicely complements its difficulty, and the grappling hook is a great addition with unique uses, though it feels unreliable at times. The graphics could use less pixelation and better distinction between the foreground and background, as well. But if Steel Assault were to cost 50¢ per play, I probably lost $20, and I don't regret it.

Steel Assault is like a bite of an extremely delicious, well-seasoned steak. Just one bite. It lingers in your mind and makes you wish for more, yet in some respects, that’s much better than if you were given the whole thing and took it for granted. If you liked the snappy action and ridiculous difficulty of may old arcade classics, then Steel Assault is absolutely something you should look into. It’s absurd, it’s fun, it’s hard. And it’s short. It doesn’t offer up much more once you've reached the end, but what’s here is intensely well-executed, and we’d definitely recommend you give it a go.
