Berlin, Germany - 08, July 2024 - Hold on to your seats, because it’s time to go full steampunk! On July 18th, ININ and Mebius will bring you the original retro game Over Horizon along with two versions of Steel Empire digitally for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 for just €14,99! Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch begin now with 10% off until release!


Over Horizon, formerly PAL territories exclusive and Japanese-only title, was developed by HOT-B and Steel Empire’s co-director. This classic shoot ‘em up could easily be seen as a spiritual successor to Steel Empire. Known for its impressive graphics, unique weapon system, and creative level design, Over Horizon became a standout title on the NES in 1991.

 

But that’s not all: In this exclusive bundle, relive the magic of the original Steel Empire in its purest form! Known as Empire of Steel in Europe and Koutetsu Teikoku (鋼鉄帝国) in Japan, The Steel Empire is a 1992 shoot-'em-up for the Sega Mega Drive and 2004 for Game Boy Advance developed by HOT-B, recognized for its distinctive diesel-punk aesthetic, combining elements of steampunk and late-19th-century industrial design, setting it apart from other shoot 'em-up games.

 

Ready to add some steampunk goodness to your impressive retrogaming archive? Then head to our partner store, Strictly Limited Games, and pre-order the Steel Empire Chronicles, available both as Limited and Collector’s Edition.

 

The Motorhead Empire has conquered and enslaved virtually the entire planet… Save the Republic of Silverhead…
 

You are the only hope!
