About game
Staring at the clock while your coffee goes cold is a sign you need a distraction that hits hard and fast. Steel Assault turns that dull afternoon into a high-octane battlefield where your tactical decisions decide who survives the scrap heap. You control a powerful war machine through twenty intense sectors, clearing waves of hostiles before facing off against ruthless commanders. Switching between armor-piercing shells, explosive rounds, and rapid-fire machine guns keeps the rhythm of combat fluid. Charging your railgun for a devastating blow requires perfect timing when facing down those massive bosses. Between rounds, you spend resources on upgrades to boost your speed, reload efficiency, and overall durability. Climbing the global leaderboards demands sharp reflexes and a solid strategy for every encounter. You can jump into this tank game right now in your browser without any annoying downloads or registrations.
How to play
Destroy each enemy wave, then defeat the sector commander. Move with WASD or the arrow keys, aim the turret with the mouse, and fire with the left mouse button or Space. Use Shift or the right mouse button to dash. Keys 1-4 or the mouse wheel switch ammunition. Hold the fire button to charge the railgun. Keep moving, flank heavily armored enemies, use cover and collect power-ups. After clearing a sector, choose an upgrade. Press P or Esc to pause and M to toggle sound. On touch devices, use the two on-screen sticks and action buttons.
