The developers of the in development arcade style shooter Steel Storm
[quote]While you were guessing what's going on, we have been polishing demo, tuning the code and been messing with the sounds.
I didn't want to wait any longer and I wanted to show you what the carnage in Steel Storm looks like! If that's not beautiful, I don't know what else is[/quote]
The gameplay and graphics look pretty solid, sound isn't half bad either, looks like we could have a winner here folks!
It's nice to have a top down arcade shooter that actually looks decent, rather than the masses of side/up scrolling shooters we are used to!
