About the Game

Steel Sword Story S - Improvements

■ Brand New Story Chapters

The update adds new story segments that delve into secrets left untold in the original Steel Sword Story and add depth to the game's world.

■ New moves, new bosses, an expanded map, and more exclusive new content!

The original was already a classic, deceptively small action game, but the game experience has been powered up significantly.

The action gameplay has been renewed, with new moves to learn like the new super moves Uppercut and Ground Slash. Zip around the map while dodging in midair and slicing through foes feels more satisfying than ever.

■ Pixel Game Maker MV

This classic Pixel Game Maker MV title has become easier to pick up and play, and the original project data is also included in the game folder. If you're a Pixel Game Maker MV user, this means you get to poke around to learn exactly how the game was made.

Now we also have a bundle option that include the PGMMV engine itself, as well as another bundle that includes a bunch of PGMMV must-play titles at a lower price!

■ Differences from the Switch Version

  • New Story Mode difficulty for players who might not be good at action games, but still want to enjoy the story until the end.
  • Balance adjustments for more satisfying gameplay.
  • Steam trading cards and badges to collect!
