Steel Storm: Burning Retribution is the second episode of the Steel Storm series. It’s a top-down arcade shooter where you control a hovertank and need to kill dozens of AI enemies. While Steel Storm was a free game, Burning Retribution was released as a commercial project.

The game is set in a science-fictional universe on a planet attacked by highly-technological aliens. Steel Storm’s single-player campaign is split into several missions where you need to destroy objectives and clean up locations. During fights you can collect boosters and upgrade your vehicle. The in-game world is completely destructible with the fast-paced action and explosions you can set.

However, the game is focused on multiplayer experience. It features deathmatch and a cooperative playthrough, with up to 16 players in every mode. There are also additional challenges in the game. If you complete them, you can unlock first-person camera perspective to look at the game at the different angle.
