WHAT IS STEELSPLITER?

This game is so good that words can’t do it justice. For me, it’s the best game of 2024 (so far!). The concept is straightforward: there are robots, and these robots want to turn you into “shish kebab.” Of course, you’re not defenseless—you have knives that you can throw to destroy them. But it’s not that simple! Each robot has a weak spot, and to defeat them, you need to aim for these vulnerable areas.

For example, there’s the Spear Robot. As the name suggests, it wields a spear and its sole purpose is to skewer you. Its weak spot is on its chest, but it only appears in specific situations:

  1. When you break its spear.
  2. During its attack animation for a brief moment.
  3. When you shoot it with the “Doomstick” gun.

While the mechanics seem simple at first, the increasing difficulty and variety of enemies keep you on your toes. Now, why is this game so amazing?


WHY IS IT SO GOOD?

  1. Perfect for Relaxing
    This game is a great way to unwind. Every time I play, it clears my mind and makes me feel refreshed.
  2. Endless Wave System
    The game uses a wave-based system. In each wave, new enemies appear with increasing numbers and difficulty. The goal is to survive as long as you can. Trying to beat your record is incredibly satisfying (my record: 54 waves).
  3. Enemy Death Sounds
    The sound effects when enemies die are oddly satisfying and therapeutic.
  4. Mastery Is Rewarding
    While the game is easy to pick up, mastering it takes time and effort. Once you become skilled, the sense of accomplishment is immense.
  5. No Storyline
    Don’t get me wrong—I love story-driven games. But sometimes, the absence of a narrative allows for a more relaxed and focused experience.

UPGRADES

After each wave, you get to choose one of three upgrades. These upgrades are one of the game’s best features, as they add variety and depth. For example:

  • Abilities like Phantom Knife and Volley become extremely powerful when combined.
  • Upgrades not only enhance your health and speed but also introduce new weapons and mechanics to keep things fresh.

Additionally, there are totems that appear randomly on the map. These totems give you a boost in one aspect while taking away from another, adding a layer of strategy.


PROS OF THE GAME

  1. Diverse Upgrades
    The sheer number of upgrades keeps every run unique and exciting.
  2. Enemy Design and Sound Effects
    Both the visuals and audio of the enemies are top-notch.
  3. Engaging Mechanics
    The gameplay never feels repetitive, even though it’s based on similar objectives.
  4. Accessibility
    The best part? The game is completely free!

CONS OF THE GAME

  1. Limited Enemy Types
    There are only five different types of enemies, which could limit the game’s long-term appeal.
  2. No Language Options
    Currently, the game is only available in English. Adding more languages would help it reach a wider audience.

FINAL THOUGHTS

The fact that this game was developed by a single person is absolutely mind-blowing. You can also find the developer’s YouTube channel for more insights into the making of the game.
