This was certainly an interesting experience... and a tedious, frustrating one at the same time. I must admit that I had a light craving for a JRPG lite like this one, before it showed up in a Humble Bundle, so I was all over it as soon as I got it, and finished it in something disturbingly close to "one go". And I can't say that I've enjoyed myself...

Overview
The desert plague is spreading from the East: a reminder of a destructive past. Man has evolved since the wars of old, creating new ways to combat this deadly expanse. Using Steel and Steam, man fights this terror, as well as the monsters that spawn from its touch. Now covering half the continent of Terra Corpus, the desertís slow and steady hunger is threatening to consume and corrupt all life in the world. Some of the desperate seek out legends of the past: elemental guardians said to sleep inside the planet. Once resurrected, these powerful beings can be controlled, and guided to stop the desert. The legends speak of a chosen few who have the ability to tame these elemental beings and reshape the world. Our story begins with one such person. Steel & Steam takes the best elements from the fantasy JRPGs of old, such as great stories, awesome characters, and classic monsters, and combines them with a touch of steampunk.

"It's like taking Lord of the Rings and mixing in the Wild West!" Except there's nothing LotR about Steel & Steam, and the closest it comes to Wild West resides with the "evil desert" we're told about, and the guns that the characters use. This is but an example of how S&S tries to pass itself off at something better than what the sum of its parts actually...
Steel and steam episode 1 is a dissapointment of jrpg clone divided into episodes, the kickstarter fund reached almost 9000$ yet the whole game is just copy pasted material from rpg maker and etc, if you played other rpgmaker games you can recognize char models every now and then, and there's no sign of them working on the sequel a goal they did reach. The...
Ok first..wow they removed the game off the store and steam no longer sells this. I also got this game for free. I think i can understand why this is no longer sold on steam. First off, the game is a episodal game. This means there is supposed to be a second part. The story ends with lots of questions not answered. Second, the game is incredibly short...
RPG maker... We meet again. Ive only played about 10 of these rpg game makers. I only enjoyed about 2 of them. Game made around 9000 on kickstarter and not a single thing was made by the developers all were assets givin to them. (Lazy developers). Still confused on how the developers need a publisher afterall... Rpg maker and the free dlc were all around...
