I have mixed feelings about this game because parts of it are brilliant, but other parts of it are equally frustrating to me.
The good - beautiful, creative artwork and animation. Everything runs super smooth and feels highly polished. The gameplay is simple to pick up but tough to master.
Which brings me to the bad - the difficulty level of this game is brutal. After dozens of attempts, I've decided to give up on beating this game even on normal. Perhaps this intense challenge will be a positive to some people, but for me, it's too much and makes the game too stressful to be fun.
Despite giving up on Steel Strider, I still plan to play its sequel Mechblaze because I've read it has a more forgiving difficulty level. The excellent quality of the visuals and gameplay left me wanting more, only the difficulty was getting in the way of that.
I'm giving it a thumbs up because, despite not enjoying the game in the end, I think it's very well crafted and I love this niche style of "cybergrunge" / dark scifi design. I'm probably not the target audience for Steel Strider - despite loving the themes, I've never been great at frantic arcade action games, and I don't have enough spare time to spend it being stuck on something for hours.
This is a "want to love" game for me. I have a lot of challenges in real life and it would be a waste of my energy to spend it practising hard games when I could be working on real-world goals. But for someone who has more free time + headspace (or simply gets more pleasure from hard games) I think this could be your next favourite!
