Steelborn - is a run and gun platformer game inspired by the classics and made by a team of Abuse, Ranger-X, Contra, Metal Slug, Blaster Master and H.E.R.O fans.
Earth Headquarters lost contact with a remote colony on the unremarkable planet VL-744, and you, Major, along with your trusty war machine, were sent on a seemingly completely ordinary reconnaissance mission to find out the fate of the colony. What awaits you on this godforsaken planet? What depths will you have to visit, how many will you have to kill, and what secrets will you uncover? Exciting gameplay will not let you relax, and an unpredictable plot won’t definitely let you get bored in this adventure! EXPLORE AND FIND Explore the vast world of the game, moving in a powerful combat robot, or leave it to explore the many mysteries and secrets hidden in hard-to-reach places on the planet.

KILL AND DEFEND The choice of instruments of violence against alien creatures will absolutely satisfy the wildest expectations: fight while inside the robot, go out and fight outside the robot, fly in a jetpack, use 5 types of various firearms and even a katana to kill them all! ENEMIES WON'T GIVE YOU BORED The rich flora and fauna of the planet VL-744 is diverse, but, frankly, not very friendly. You will have to deal with insidious opponents, release thousands of ammunition at not the most pleasant creatures, and puzzle over how to defeat huge bosses.

STORY IN «SHOOT EM UP» GAME? YES! «Steelborn» isn’t just a fire on crowds of mobs, it’s a Major’s expose and his task, which isn’t as straightforward as it might seem at first glance. Interesting dialogues, plot twists, and tense anticipation of the dénouement—that's what awaits you. A SOUNDTRACK YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO Slash enemies with a katana, shoot, admire the beauties of the planet and do anything with the author's epic soundtrack.
