  • Choose the eagle-like Striker. Small, fast, agile, maneuverable but less fire power.

Over Horizon Features:

  • Collect pods to use as shields and to ramp up your firepower.  
  • Modify your weapons and try them before going to battle in the “test mode”.

Why Steel Empire Chronicles is joining the SLG catalog 

Steel Empire is an outstanding example of how a story can be told in Shoot 'em ups. One of the main developers involved in the original game even compared it to a movie, adding a whole new approach to the genre. 
As the game evolves, so does the story – and its difficulty. It gives room to any player’s preferences and skill set, no matter if they prefer tank-style slower speed with higher damage or more agile fast-paced action with higher frequencies, no matter if they’re arcade-experienced pro-gamers or looking for some casual entertainment. The more power-ups you collect, the stronger and resilient your ship will get. That means if you’re stuck on one stage you can play it several times and get stronger until you can clear it. 

Besides the fact the collection not only includes the original game published on SEGA Mega Drive, but also the remaster for Game Boy Advance and the HD remake for modern platforms, we’re especially happy another game is included, which is considered the spiritual precursor. Over Horizon is an incredible example of an 8-bit SHMUP, featured in a lot of ‘top 10’ lists and for some even considered as one of the best games in this genre of its time. It’s highly remarkable this outstanding Shooter has never been released outside of Japan or Europe before.  

Strictly Limited Games is thrilled to exclusively offer the Steel Empire Chronicles, offering three awesome versions of the genre-building Steel Empire game together with the incredibly rare gem Over Horizon.
