About This Game STEEL STRIDERRun & gun action from the makers of GIGANTIC ARMY, SATAZIUS, and Supercharged Robot VULKAISER!Overview:STEEL STRIDER is the follow up to the acclaimed GIGANTIC ARMY and pays homage to the great run and gun games such as Turrican and Super Contra, but adds mouse / dual analogue stick-operated weapons!It is the second half of the twentieth century. A long period of galaxy-wide conflict and turmoil is finally drawing to a close, but skirmishes and large scale crime are still commonplace, some criminal operations possess personnel and armaments equivalent to small armies. The official peace-keeping authorities are insufficiently equipped tackle these threats, and the galactic military lacks the flexibility to effectively neutralize them. There exists, however, a secret organization that secretly strives to preserve peace in the galaxy: ARGO EXPRESS. When ARGO EXPRESS receives word of emergencies such as distress signals or major crime outbreaks, they dispatch a carrier ship disguised as a freighter to rush to the scene and resolve the situation. STEEL STRIDER is the story of an ARGO EXPRESS operative and Gemini-class MCR (Manned Combat Robot) pilot who troubleshoots emergencies in planets around the galaxy.Features:• 4 planets of intense mech-shooting action to clear!• Mid and end level bosses of gargantuan proportions to take down!• Four difficulty modes from ‘Easy’ to ‘Insane’ to cater for all skill levels!• 8 upgradeable weapons with which to mete out galactic justice!• Jetpack to give your mech satisfying maneuverability and defensive options!• Keyboard and mouse or dual analog stick controls!• Achievements, online leader boards, trading cards, and more! • Outstanding value: only $5.99!!★★★ STEEL STRIDER ★★★★Created by ASTRO PORTASTRO PORT is a three-man Japanese development team whose collective message to the world is, ‘This is how fun action shooting games can be!” ASTRO PORT’s deep catalog of solid shooting games also includes Supercharged Robot Vulkaiser, ARMED SEVEN, Witch-bot Meglilo, SATAZIUS, and GIGANTIC ARMY.Localized & published by Nyu MediaNyu Media, Ltd. is the world's leading localizer and publisher of independent Japanese video games.

This is an awesome little game and I wholeheartedly recommend it.. Every bit as action-packed as ARMED SEVEN and SATAZIUS. Optimized right off the bat: I went from controller to mouse and keyboard seamlessly, as the controls are exceptionally intuitive. There's this Castlevania element to it, too, that I really liked.It's just a really solid game. Can't praise it enough.. Controls are broken to the point that the game is unplayable. Screen modes are 640x480 and 1024x768. (That's it.) Fullscreen disables aero and resizes the desktop, which scrambles my desktop organization.It's 2015. This♥♥♥♥♥♥is not ♥♥♥♥ing acceptable, and this title is the last straw. I've filed for a refund and will never again purchase a game from ASTRO PORT. It's just overwhelmingly clear that they simply don't give a♥♥♥♥♥♥about their work.. Gigantic Army is a really fun twist on the Contra formula because you have a jetpack, a dash move, a melee attack, and a shield to block bullets. But for Steel Strider they took away the dash move and the shield, the very mechanics that made Gigantic Army so fun. The jetpack is all that's left to distinguish this from the Contra series (that and the doujin aesthetics). Major downgrade.. A Valken clone with mouse aiming. Good for a few hours. I recommend Gigantic Army over this, though.. quot;Thumb halfway". There's nothing wrong with the game, it's a great nostalgia platformer/dual stick shooter. I've seen better graphics, the gameplay is good and the control tight. Still, if you didn't play with a snes or sega genesis I don't think you'll like this game. PRO Good oldschool gameplay. Tight, responsive control. Somewhat challenging but not unforgiving.CONS Graphics are nice and old school, but I've seen better graphics in other 16bit nostalgia games. Instead of intermissions you get text walls, white text on blue background reminiscent of windows "blue screen of death". Not a very involving story (lack of proper intermissions don't help). I get the feeling that ASTRO PORT just spams nostalgia anime mecha shooters, with out being careful in polishing those titles. Two (that's right, 2) different screen resolutions, 640x480 and 1024x768, and that's it. Mecha design is good, but not impressive. The comeback of the Saladin (GIGANTIC ARMY mecha) as a bad guy is a nice touch, but if you are a fan of Gundam or Gunbuster or Evangelion you'll be left wanting more. I'm running the game in Ubuntu with XFCE, and I had no issues with going fullscreen (in spite of crappy resolution), but windows players report issues with fullscreen and desktop configuration.Bottom line: if you like anime mechas and nes/snes/sega genesis games, you'll prob. enjoy this. If you are less that 30, you can probably find some other game you'll like better for the same price.. Like most Astro Port games, Steel Strider is another great mech, sci-fi side-scrolling shooter. I definitely recommend keyboard and mouse for playing this title because the controller aiming is way too jarring for the camera to play as a twin-stick shooter. The game gets punishingly brutal by the halfway point, but the restart and saving options are generous, at least on the normal difficulty. If you like mech games, be sure to check this title out. Consider getting the Astro Port bundle at some point, as all our their games are fantastic and enjoyable.. A fun but short game you can easily put down and pick up again at anytime. Great for those moments when you need to leave soon but you also have some time to spare and not want to start anything that's too time investing.Feels like an improvement over Gigantic Army but with a bigger arsenal of weapons that you can swap on the fly, A for effort that the weapons do change in appearence when you level them up.But a huge caution for those of you who plan on buying this game, 5 achievements are bugged in this game, it's fine if you don't care about achievements, but if you're like me and enjoy collecting achievements, this will bug the ever living♥♥♥♥♥♥out of you, especially based on the fact that they are such simple requirements.. If you enjoyed gigantic army it's highly likely you will love this. Absolutly love it!
