Shattered Steel drops you into a war against alien invaders as you pilot a heavily armed mechanized unit. The single-player campaign spans 50 missions across mission types like base assaults, convoy escorts, and resource grabs. You upgrade your Planet Runner with an array of firepower including gatling guns, fuel-air explosives, and plasma cannons. Combat focuses on tactical movement and weapon swaps in real time. Multiplayer lets you face off against others in deathmatch or team-based modes. The game emphasizes variety with its mission design and weapon loadouts. Community reviews note the challenge of balancing upgrades with mission objectives. Released in 1996, it runs on PC Windows, Mac, and DOS.
