Add a soundtrack that certainly feels like a GBA soundtrack, and you have a bite-sized experience that you’re going to love on Nintendo Switch. This is easy to see when you take a look at how main character Taro and its enemies are presented, as well as by how each one of them is animated. As mentioned before, and as you can see from the screens and the trailer in this Steel Assault review, the game has a look that is closer to a Game Boy Advance (GBA) release than a SNES release. It’s now 2021, and with the support of Tribute Games, the game was recently released on Nintendo Switch. The initial plan was to develop Steel Assault as a take on the classic 8-bit era of the Nintendo Entertainment System – what you know as the NES – but that changed when Sri had a chance to pivot and revamp the look and feel of Steel Assault to bring it closer to what we saw in the SNES era and beyond. It managed to secure the support of 406 backers, who pledged $8,706 for the development of the game. Indie developer Sri Kankanahalli, Creative Director for Zenovia, took Steel Assault to Kickstarter way back in 2015. Do you have what it takes to destroy everything in your path? You will go on a journey on a pixeltastic post-apocalyptic world presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio as Taro Takahashi, a resistance soldier on a revenge mission against a dictator who, as expected, rules with an iron fist over the ashes of this new world. It’s a game that pays homage to that 16-bit look we all know and love, CRT filter included. 2D GBA-looking retro-styled action platformer Steel Assault from Zenovia and Tribute Games is a must-play on Nintendo Switch.
