In this GamingBolt video, we delve into the world of Steel Hunters, a game that pits players against each other in a fierce battle for the valuable resource known as Starfall. Inspired by a catastrophic event that altered the Earth, the game offers a unique twist with mechs taking on the role of heroes in a post-apocalyptic setting. While lacking in deep lore, Steel Hunters introduces players to modes like Last Stand and Skirmish, where strategic gameplay is key to success. However, the limited chaos resulting from only 12 players can make battles feel somewhat tame, especially when facing off against repetitive drone enemies.
As players progress through matches, the focus shifts to gathering energy, leveling up hunters, and unlocking various abilities and modules to enhance stats. The extraction mechanic serves as a way to force PvP encounters with the last remaining squad, adding a layer of intensity to the gameplay. The progression system, involving the conversion of Starfall shards and the use of platinum to upgrade hunters, unlock passives, and access battle pass tiers, adds complexity to the overall experience. Despite the lack of zones with higher threats or alternative extraction methods, Steel Hunters offers a unique gameplay loop that keeps players engaged.
The hunters themselves bring a sense of variety to the game, with each one offering a distinct playstyle and limited mod selection to customize abilities. The aesthetic of the mechs draws inspiration from Transformers, adding a touch of personality to the game. While the long-term goals of Wargaming with Steel Hunters remain unclear, the game is set to undergo further development during its early access phase, with new modes, progression paths, and maps on the horizon. Overall, Steel Hunters presents a promising blend of competitive multiplayer action and strategic gameplay, with the potential to evolve into a more chaotic and immersive experience in the future.
