"Steel Rats presents an interesting idea to the player: an affable biker gang hounded by metal fiends, combining two wildly different game genres by using your bike as a weapon while riding through a dingy, destructible world. This all sounds incredibly intriguing on paper, but unfortunately, it falls flat on the delivery. Tate Multimedia tried to pack too much into Steel Rats for all of its parts to work together in a fun and cohesive way. It can be done, as proven by roguelike rhythm game Crypt of the Necrodancer, which stuck to the core elements of each genre. Frequently in Steel Rats, the solution is to use one tactic and move on, or skip it entirely rather than fumbling through the different genres. When this kind of gameplay meets the unassuming visuals and banal audio, the title becomes lackluster."

About
Steel Rats is a high-octane 2.5D arcade game where you pilot customizable motorbikes through vertical and horizontal environments. You grind rails, launch off ramps, and battle opponents using weaponized bikes with physics-driven controls that demand precision. The retro-futuristic levels mix urban sprawl and neon-lit tunnels, pushing you to master midair tricks and aggressive combat. Movement flows freely across all axes, letting you ride up walls or through crowds as you race and fight. The game’s standout lies in its tight mechanics and challenge progression. With 46 achievements and a 7.2% average unlock rate, mastery takes time. The rarest trophy, Commando III, sits at a grueling 5.20%, proof of the game’s punishing difficulty. Available on PS4, PC, Xbox, and Linux/Mac, it balances single-player campaigns with multiplayer chaos. Its stylized visuals and relentless pace make it a niche favorite for players who thrive in fast, chaotic action.
