Description

Global Steel is a 2d run-and-gun video game inspired by Saturday-morning cartoons from the 80s. It follows the adventures of an organization that lives up to the credo of dispensing justice around the globe, with guns. Controlling three playable characters, it’s your job to shoot n’ blast through hordes of enemies as you save the world. Customize your armor-suits and weapons as you progress through an assortment of diverse levels.

History

Global Steel derives its genesis from our love of 80s cartoons like Centurions, M.A.S.K etc. as well as classic run-and-gun shooters like Contra. We wanted to create a playable cartoon, where each level corresponds to an episode of a hypothetical Saturday morning cartoon of the 80s. So we embarked on building a game which does so, where cartoon and game merge into one.
