MicroProse has been acquiring notable titles recently, including the first-person mech simulator, Steel Bounty, which was announced in December.
For many who enjoy mech games, this announcement is particularly exciting, as the genre sees fewer new releases today. Steel Bounty appears to diverge from the gritty aesthetic of titles like MechWarrior, opting instead for a more vibrant, colorful visual style reminiscent of games such as Ravenfield.
According to the press release, Steel Bounty places players in command of a mercenary company navigating a dynamic star system. Player decisions and mission outcomes directly impact the broader campaign, affecting the economy, revealing new opportunities, and shifting the balance of power. The game emphasizes that success requires both strategic leadership, including managing finances, resources, and pilot development, and combat proficiency.
Game Highlights:
- A dynamic, choice-driven campaign that reacts to player decisions.
- Full mercenary company management, from logistics to pilot development.
- Deep mech design and customization systems.
- Destructible environments that reflect the scale of mech warfare.
- Immersive first-person cockpits with interactive instrumentation.
