About this product
Product Information
In Steel Empire you pilot one of two available aircraft in an alternative world filled with airborne war islands, mammoth battleships, cannon-carrying armored locomotives and the like as you try to defend the Republic of Silverhead from the evil Motorhead Empire. It is the Age of Steel and the military might of the Motorhead Empire has enslaved virtually the entire planet. One hope for freedom remains -- The Republic of Silverhead.<br><br>After choosing either the fast and relatively vulnerable Striker airplane or the slow, but armored and powerful Z-O1 Zeppelin airship, you'll begin your voyage through seven stages of shooter action. The game takes place in and around the Mine City of Rahl, the Liedengel Caverns, the Sky District Zektor, Gardani Beach, Dama City, the Germburn Fortress, and Lunar Space. <br> <br>As you shoot your way through the game, you can pick up a number of ship enhancements such as weapon strength, outrigger planes, speed boosts, and the awesome power of lightning bombs. Both ships are equipped with front and rear firing capabilities.<br><br>The Motorhead Empire has filled the skies, oceans and lands with some of the most massive and deadly machines of war the universe has ever seen. These include the Titan Tank, which fires propeller bombs and high-speed rockets, the Navair Submarine, which can fire salvos of up to five massive missiles while still submerged, and the Lunarnaut, which is loaded to the gills with weapons and can withstand most any attack.<br><br>Despite overwhelming odds, you can bring freedom to this once proud world. Play Steel Empire and show that you've got what it takes to end this incredible display of tyranny.Product Identifiers

Great bang for your buck.
I'm not great at shooters. I'm notoriously bad at them, actually, but Steel Empire reels like a great gateway game into understanding the mechanics of shooters. It has very simple gameplay that moves at just the right speed, the screen isn't cluttered with all manner of distracting mess to disrupt your progression, and the soundtrack is varied, period appropriate for the themes that the game explores, and catchy as hell. The stage one theme is quickly rising to the top of my all time favorite Genesis tunes. If you have the cash and don't mind your sorts being a bit more on the lenient side, I'd say grab this one without thinking twice about it. For a shooter newbie like me, this game is a godsend in both presentation and gameplay..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Excellent and very Unknown Genesis Shmup!!
A great and very accessible horizontal shooter for the Genesis! I really liked how you get to fly a Zeppelin, a different type of aircraft than your usual bi plane or spaceship and it’s also not a impossibly difficult shooter which makes it more fun to play as well!. It’s a surprisingly fun and doable unknown genesis shooter.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing still to this day!
Never had the chance to play this back in the day but when I got this I imagined what my 1993 self would've been like if I did... Man this game is AWESOME! Addicting horizontal shooter with some of the best sounds I've heard in a long time in a genesis title. Love the blimp! Love the story! Love the artwork on cover! LOVE THIS GAME! Beat it 3 times the day I got it so it has replay value. Only 1 very minor gripe... Some bosses get repetitive. But truly unique game that rocked me to my core!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
