Technically excellent, but unfortunately very difficult game with awesome graphics for this system. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 01:43:24. English subtitles are also available. Subscription to our YouTube and Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Horizontally, the map is pretty accurate. But vertically, the map has been stretched out a bit. One in game screen can count as 2 or sometime 3 squares on the map (vertically)
I hope you guys don't mind, I got you up on the IGDB (Internet Games Database) so people can officially add Steel Legion as their "Now Playing" game on Twitch
No prob - I registered an account on there just to do it. Was a fun scavenger hunt of finding resources and info for the game, and then finding stuff about Aeon & Star Interactive so I could get your company in there too. Feel free to add to what I have, or let me know what you want added and I can throw it in. I think everything I have up there is copy/pasted from here and the main Aeon & Star website.
I tried to play the full version rom with Delta emulator, and it fails to load. Submitted a bug report with Delta, and someone looked at it and said the problem appears to be a bad header. Can you fix, please?
Hi, this screenshot is from the demo, not the final game. But they both were tested and confirmed to work on the latest version of Mesen emulator. They were also both tested and working on the original North American Nes ntsc and european pal nes. The game use flash save technology for saving and that is not suported by all emulator (it works on the latest version of Mesen) it is also not suported by everdrive cart. The game will play on everdrive but not save. The physical release of the game (available soon on Broke studio online store) works on original nes console and does save.
The game was designed around the nes mapper 30 and from what I understand (I could be wrong) does not support traditionnal battery save, only self flashing save. Which means that if the emulator does not support flash save, in game saving will never work on this emulator until they release an update that support self flashing save. Sorry. We will update the itch page to make this more clear.
I bought this game on kickstarter. it's awesome. I try the digital version on my recallbox. I have just a little problem, the save in game doesn't work. I am force to use save stat.
I have found the plasma projectile. teleport myself on the train area to save . and when I launch again the game, I load the game but my character doesn't got the plasma projectile or the "better range shoot" anymore.
Same thing happening to me. Using OpenEmu on Mac. (Was still able to beat the game using save states where I would usually save in game, it’s fantastic.)

Where do I go after getting the two rocket launcher power-ups? I feel like I've visited every area, but can't seem to find a new area or ability to progress further.
Am I supposed to be able to defeat that boss robot at some point? I also saw a possible door that requires a higher jump, as well as small paths that I guess require you to shrink. Not sure.
Thanks for the gameplay video and we're glad you liked the demo! Stay tuned for the game release and join us on Discord or subscribe to our newsletter not to miss anything!

Thanks a lot! Happy you enjoyed the game.
Not sure if the map that came with the game is a rough approximation if the game map, if I just really suck with maps, or both 😂
The map is pretty accurante, although it does work with screens which can be a bit tricky to see in the game where does the screen end and start.
As for your skill in using them, that's something else :P

I will try the physical version tomorrow, but, does the rom will work on nestopia in future? About save in game, without using save stat.

great! Thank you! I've passed along these details to the Delta emulator devs.

Great game!

Or is this as far as the demo goes? :)
Hey there! Thanks for playing and for the kind words.
If you mean the first boss to the right, then yes! You need to find the grenade launcher also to break down some walls. Have you found that?

Hey thanks a lot @alexsilent! Next year it will be on cartridge and it will be even more awesome for the NES!

Yo, this is awesome! Can't wait for the full game to drop :O
Side note: "dammage" should be "damage" in the difficulty menu ;)
Thanks for that oopsie! We'll fix it.
Really happy you like it.
