Steel Storm: Burning Retribution is a top-down action shooter set in an alternative universe under attack by extraterrestrial invaders. The player controls an advanced hovertank equipped with sophisticated weapons, facing a straightforward objective that the game describes as far from trivial. Its old-school spirit meets score-oriented competitive play, framing the battles around both survival and performance.
Fast-paced, streamlined action pits the hovertank against hordes of smart enemies, with destructible worlds and ground-shaking explosions among the design’s stated attractions. The game lists 25 missions and also supports online warfare for up to 16 players in its multiplayer modes.
The design also reaches beyond combat through a real-time collaborative mission editor, which lets players create missions or modify existing ones and share them. Challenges offer another activity, and completing them unlocks a first-person camera mode. Alongside its single-player and multiplayer categories, the editor gives the game a creation-focused dimension, setting its hovertank battles within a broader mix of missions, competition and community-made content.
