6.0
I really wish moving about felt more satisfying, because I'd love to explore all the worlds to the fullest.
Monster Robot Studios' Steam Punks dabbles in a genre rich with possibility, but misses the mark when it comes to the controls.

- 6.0If I sound like I'm being too hard on Steam Punks, I don't mean to be. The thing is, when you invite a very direct comparison to another game, it's hard not to, well, compare. Taken as its own thing, this is an okay side-scrolling action game for your mobile device, even if it is incredibly rough around the edges.
- 7.0Of course, much of this could be said about Monster Robot’s previous game Heavy Sword, and really it’s a shame. There’s a really cool game here, but it suffers a lot because it doesn’t look as good as it could, it doesn’t control as well as it could, and it doesn’t play as well as it could if some work was done to make this a polished product.
- 6.0A lot of love has gone into this Mega Man homage, as evidenced by its attractive 2D world, but the simple mechanics of running, jumping, and exploring just aren't of a high enough quality.
