Steel Rain

Steel Rain is a shoot-'em-up with strategy and RPG elements. You control two wings, arranging them in different formations and firemodes as you fight through enemy fleets. Switch between three formations and six fully customizable firemodes to adapt your tactics to each situation.

Missions and planets

Complete missions and survive boss fights across seven planets, liberate planets, and build colonies. You can also take on randomly generated orbital patrol missions or create stages with the built-in editor. The editor lets you create, share and download stages.

Build and upgrade

Build, defend and manage colonies to conduct research and generate income. Research technologies to unlock buildings, skills, drones and other options. You can unlock active and passive skills for each wing's firemodes, and choose upgrades and equipable items from six categories for ten different wings. Craft items and prototype upgrades in factories and citadels, construct drone companions, and buy new wings.

Missions provide experience points and cash for further upgrades. The game also has ten difficulty levels and a hardcore mode.

Steel Rain includes Campaign, Survival and Arcade modes, each with an alternative upgrade system. In local co-op, two players can fight together and command drones.
