In 2020, Tribute Games announced the start of a publishing division to help smaller developers publish their games. The Montreal-based studio has been steadily creating entertaining, challenging and retro-inspired games since 2011 using modern game development processes and technology. Tribute Games is a studio developing and publishing video games with a focus on pixel art and classic game design. The signing of Steel Assault in November 2020 marked Tribute Games’ debut as a publishing partner for other developers.

The studio is currently developing the highly anticipated official TMNT beat-em-up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Tribute Games is the developer and publisher of beloved pixel games Panzer Paladin, Mercenary Kings, and Flinthook. Beautiful FM-synthesized tunes with just enough industrial rock and chiptune to please bit-crunched music fans.

EXPLOSIVE SOUNDTRACK: A superb, fast-paced and aggressive soundtrack that adds a layer of pressure and anxiety to the experience.

Steel Assault’s many filters and video options are adjustable to accommodate a range of gaming setups.

4:3 ASPECT RATIO/CRT FILTERS: Zenovia Interactive founder Sri Kankanahalli designed Steel Assault with the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio to keep the action quick and surprising… just like it was back in the day.

Arcade mode is the ultimate Steel Assault experience - a “1 coin clear” mode for the hardcore and speedrunners. Regardless of skill, there’s a difficulty mode for everyone.

TRUE ARCADE EXPERIENCE: A classic gaming throwback for both the old school and newer generations.You’ll punch enemies and zipline your way out of danger in a post-apocalyptic America beautifully rendered in 16-bit-style graphics. You are Taro Takahashi, a resistance soldier on a revenge mission against the dictator who lords over the ashes.
