"Steel Assault uses a 16-bit atmosphere to create a great arcade experience. The action is nonstop through the various stages, which impress with creative situations (such as using the zipline) and extravagant confrontations against bosses. Furthermore, the game captivates with its flawless pixel art look and synthesizer soundtrack, resulting in a pleasing contemporary interpretation of retro elements. The intention is to rescue the arcade sensation, which means an accentuated challenge. However, just like other arcade titles, the duration is short and without significant extras other than different difficulties. In the end, Steel Assault is a short action and platform adventure that's worth it."

About

Stellar Assault SS is a space combat game for Sega Saturn where you pilot ships in dogfight battles across outer space. You can switch between first and third-person views while engaging enemies in fast paced shooting. The game adds a narrative layer compared to its 1995 predecessor with supporting characters and voice work. Battles take place in detailed 3D environments with some stages moving to planetary surfaces. The game stands out for its use of texture mapped visuals and varied settings. While it only launched in Japan, it offers a more fleshed out experience than the original. Planetary levels introduce new challenges and the voice acting helps push the story forward. A small but dedicated audience has kept it remembered for its enhancements.
