‘Steel Sword Story’ Calls for Big-Time Heroics From Tiny Knights

You’re but a tiny former knight, but you pack a big punch with your sword beam blasts and explosive magic in action game Steel Sword Story.

You may only be a cute little thing with a mean look on your face, but you’ve got a big job to do. There’s traitors, a kingdom in trouble, and every creature in the surrounding countryside seems to know your face and want to give you a hard time. Nothing some skyscraper-sized double jumps and a little tucking and rolling shouldn’t be able to get you out of the way of, right?

Brought to you by the creators of 1001 Spikes, Steel Sword Story looks to bring players a classic sense of danger in a world of sharp-looking pixels (made through Pixel Game Maker MV). So, one can probably assume you need to have a lot of patience for dying constantly. Still, overcoming it all should be pretty satisfying. If you can manage it. At worst, you’ll get to have fun with a cute little knight for a while, though.

Steel Sword Story is available now on Steam.
