    Steels Rats is the definition of a ‘meh’ game. It has some nice ideas and elements, but nothing is really pulled off particularly well. Combat is fine, if repetitive, but the awkward camera view, the unreliable collision detection, and the general lack of any real character, collectively brings the whole thing down.

Steel Rats is a game that is very interesting to say the least because it takes the Trials formula approach and includes platforming mixed in with a "beat-’em-up" combat system and overall it works well. It isn’t a perfect experience and it takes a bit of getting squinted with, but once you familiarize yourself you’ll see a game that provides a unique experience. Steel Rats is all about getting from point to point and while this may seem simple to you after taking on a few levels you’ll find out that it isn’t as simple as it first appears. You'll be taking on multiple enemies and this is where the game definitely shines its brightest, due to the unique combat which packs many satisfying moments. Completing each level in the game is great fun because the creativity is intuitive and when you combine that with the unlock-able upgrades, it will no doubt keep your attention. There are times where it may feel slightly repetitive and there are a few technical issues on occasion. Despite that Steel Rats does more than enough to satisfy your gaming hunger.… Full Review »
