It is also lacking in terms of length and story, but fast-paced gameplay, amazing soundtrack and phenomenal pixel artistry make the game an enjoyable experience for both newcomers (on lower difficulties) and fans of the action-platforming genre.

General Artistry – Graphically and musically, Steel Assault is an amazing experience and Zenovia hit it out of the ball park when it came to the visuals and score.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
55 of 292 sampled reviews raised it
Chiptunes are an acquired taste, I admit, so I appreciate the extra effort the devs here made to allow a choice between a more modern soundtrack and a synthesized/chiptune soundtrack.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
21 of 292 sampled reviews raised it
The game's level design consistently introduces new hazards and visual themes, ensuring the short campaign never loses momentum.
