I'd never seen Steel Battalion played before

tonight I've learned that

the mechs in this game are ridiculously stompy and full of alarm klaxons
you cannot play the game without the mech simulator controller
if your mech explodes and you don't eject in time it erases your fucking save file

this game is so fucking intense holy shit

theres an xbox 360 sequel that takes full analog advantage of the kinect to have you be inside the mech, alongside having an entire squad for you to direct and chatter with inside the machine. sadly the kinect being the kinect it didnt work so well, but i always have to wonder what a VR version of it would look like with other players replacing the crewmates

If you aren't careful in the mud your mech can slip and fall over. That's when you need to use the dedicated 'wiper' toggle to clean the mud from your HUD

I've wanted to play that game soooooo bad ever since I heard about it. I'll never get my hands on one of those controllers though :c

Steel Battalion is one of those rare mutants that you just can't imagine anyone making today, a game that had to be bought for $200 using its own custom designed controller only, for sim enthusiasts who want to have to manually downshift their mech in order to climb hills better. It's one of those laser-focused things that honestly makes me happy just knowing it got to exist at all.
