While offering a story where you play as the sole survivor of a disastrous malfunction in the defense system. Taking place in a giant spaceship that works as a prison for all sorts of lawbreakers. So, it appears everyone has been killed aboard, except you!
The main objective of Steel Defier is to locate the landing site. So the player can steal a smaller spaceship and escape from prison. However, the big spaceship is quite a maze with many rooms and a full defence system. One that continues to hunt you down with different traps. So it’s key for you to locate suit upgrades and increase your survival rate.
Steel Defier - Trailer (Linux, Windows PC)
The spaceship in Steel Defier has exactly 40 rooms. Each one of them has a different blend of traps. In some rooms the traps are faster or slower. While in other rooms there might be a power outage that limits the player's field of view. In very special cases, you might stumble upon a suit upgrade that will grant a new and unique skill. Like the ability of slowing down time for a short amount of time. In theory the suit upgrades are also optional. But searching for and collecting them will make the player’s journey much easier. Exploring, finding, searching, and seeking out is a fun experience. Doing so as you work through the Steel Defier setting that will test you.
Every single room has a different combination of traps. There are various speed multipliers and even setting conditions. Like the power outage that limits the player’s field of view. Due to produces an intense alarm sound.
Each trap moves at a different speed. It also covers a different amount of walkable area and sometimes even follows the player or explodes after a short delay. To counter them, you have to collect as many suit upgrades as possible. Like the ability to slow down time, dash through traps, and even double jump.
Every item in the game will grant a different ability to the player. Allowing you to enhance the dodging functions in unique ways. Some suit upgrades even have “secret” usages. For example: the dash ability is mainly used to traverse the setting faster. But you can also use it to go through traps without being harmed.
The player isn’t able to directly fight the spaceship’s defence system, as he’s not equipped with a gun. However, Steel Defier is full of action, since the player will always have great and more intense traps. Also, every suit upgrade the player gains will become more powerful and help defeat any challenge.
The Steel Defier difficulty increases as the player gets further from their prison cell. Along with more and more traps showing up after each visited room. With a clever design, so spaceship exploring never becomes boring or a linear path. Yet a rewarding and pleasing style of gameplay.
Steel Defier arcade action game launches to test players on Linux and Windows PC. Which is available on Steam. Priced at $3.99 USD / £3.99 / 3,99€, including the 20% discount.
