    Steel Empire got a lot of grief at the time of its release for its relatively high purchase price, considering it's merely an enhanced remake of what was then a 22-year-old SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive game. Once you get past the cost of entry, you'll find a delightful horizontal scrolling shooter with a sharp soundtrack and addictive gameplay.

Steel Empire is easy to recommend for fans of the genre and of 16-bit classics in general. You won't find a better Genesis / MD remake this side of M2.… Expand

    For all the 3DS owners out there who, like me, are sick of seeing the deluge of kiddie-focused games appearing in the Nintendo eShop, Steel Empire is a very welcome respite. Outside of the Sega 3D Classics, range this is the best thing to appear on the 3DS in recent memory and is a must-have purchase for any 3DS owner.

    I was fed up with Steel Empire after 15 minutes. The game is too easy, weapons lack punch, action sequences are anemic. [03/2016, p.73]

    Steel Empire brings back a 1990s 16-bit shoot'em up with an added 3D effect. It's a classic shooter of its day whose gameplay benefits from the three dimensional effect of Nintendo's handheld. Where Steel Empire falls short is on its length, which will disappoint many contemporary players who expect something longer as far as its lifespan is concerned.
