Steel Legion is a NES homebrew metroidvania 2D platformer set in a cyberpunk universe where you play as a cyborg commando. Explore an interconnected world, find secrets and abilities, meet NPCs and battle bosses in order to destroy a dangerous A.I.

In the far-future dystopia of 2004, the world has fallen under the iron grip of a malevolent A.I. bent on wiping out humanity. Androids, once humanity's creations, now serve as the enforcers of this techno-tyrant. But one cyborg commando, rebuilt with a human heart and a mission to save mankind, rises from the ashes of battle.

Armed to the teeth and fueled by vengeance, you will go through a battleground where every neon-lit street is a warzone. It's man versus machine, metal against metal, in a battle for the fate of humanity itself.

In this pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride, it's a fight to the death, and only one will emerge victorious: you or the A.I. Central Unit. Get ready for some cyborg commando action in... "Steel Legion"!

 FEATURES 

 NES Homebrew 

Get ready to test your skills to the limit with the intricate level design and advanced gameplay that earned us the mention of “NES hard” by several fans of the game.

Steel Legion was made with love and dedication using the NESmaker tool and features:

• Four different stages that include their own bosses, abilities, secrets, keys and quests to find, unlock and vanquish in any order you want;
• Special weapons and abilities that allows you to break down walls, flip switches and access previously blocked areas;
• NPCs that change location and give new lines of dialogue as you explore the world; and
• High-quality 8-bit pixel art and a thunderous hard rock chiptune soundtrack.

 Explore an Interconnected World 

The game is a well-crafted metroidvania with four different multiple stages that include their own bosses, abilities, secrets, keys and quests. Explore the dangerous mines, the wretched sewers, the vicious city-top or the mysterious AI base. 

 Find Secrets and Abilities  

Use special weapons to break down walls. Use hyper jump to access previously blocked areas. Use special missiles to target hard-to-find switch for blocked doors to open. All of this requiring thoughtful experimentation!

 Meet NPCs and Battle Bosses 

Protect the humans, find more about the threats of the city-scape, collect keys while fighting hard bosses in order to reach your final destination. 

And like a good metroidvania, there's a lot to collect!
