40 itemsAbout the Game

The story for “Boiling Steel” was written by one of the authors of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.
According to the plot you are one of many who set off in search of a better life in the distant bastion of scientific progress. Your goal is a colony planet, free from bureaucratic, religious and other radical restrictions. It is a high-tech paradise. But here, something went wrong…
Reach the final to know what’s happened.

The action of the game takes place on a planet-colony in biomes, different in climatic and biological features and locations, unique in their content.
More than 40 combat missions, each of which unfolds on a unique map - from the cloud-city complexes and sandy mining platforms to the permafrost zone and science camps.

11 different tools with the original mechanic of two-handed grip allow the player to choose their own playing style.
The stripping cutter (like a lightsaber sword) and the fisticuffs are also in your arsenal.
The weapon upgrade system automatically improves a favorite and frequently used tool, gradually turning it into a hellish machine.

A number of additional abilities increase your combat effectiveness. Among those:
- clone
- superspeed
- defense matrix
- electromagnetic wave
- plasma stripping system
