MicroProse Announces Steel Bounty

Steel Bounty is a new first-person mecha simulation focused on deep customization and mercenary company management. Lead your pilots, build and fine-tune powerful mechs, and fight from immersive cockpit views in fully destructible environments.

Steel Bounty is in early development, with more details to come.

 
Damn, anon is going to make it with this one. Happy for the dev!
 
I'm sold.

"Why is that?"... :D


They just copied Mechwarrior 2 art style with MW5 Mercenaries interface.
Waiting for the Piranha/MS Legal team dropship

ps. Love the yt comments
"3D-printed ghost mechwarrior 2",
"This is Mechwarrior 2 with the serial numbers filed off",
"...guess we'll be fighting as House Merrick, Ling, Sakura, Muller and Delvin and the Families of Bukharin. And of course the SatCom, the former Committee of Communication for the Galactic Alliance."
"The Declining War between Clan Dog and Green Budgie rages on."

I didn't know Microprose was alive, I thought they died decades ago

They did die, now they came back making smaller AA games and publishing for smaller games too. Brought some of their old games to Steam recently as well like the old Gunship / Gunship 2000.


Back in my C64 days they were one of my favorite game devs. 😎

This mech game looks kinda fun!

Tribe Phantom Grizzly here I come!
 
I'm loving the current state of Microprose. Check out their catalogue on Steam. Tons of solid AA titles like this reviving favorites from the 90's and some brand new stuff. Most of it very affordable too.
 
Microprose really have become one of the more interesting publishers.

they just need to up the QA in the games their publishing because most release in a very janky state.

The brand was brought back by publishing guys who bought it off the auction.

And with games like these (or Highfleet or Cleared Hot) I'd say they've find a very dear to me and cozy niche of strange indie arcades and simulators.
 
Been keeping an eye on the new MicroProse but glad to see they're getting stuff out there again.

Grew up with a ton of their games with my dad's collection.

F15 Strike Eagle, Kennedy Approach, Silent Service, Gunship, Airborne Rangers, Pirates!, F19, F117, Red Storm Rising, M1 Tank Platoon, Railroad Tycoon, Lightspeed, Covert Action and of course Civilization.

Damn, looking back at it now the start of my PC gaming habits were formed by this company.

OT: This looks fun, added to wishlist (backlog). Didn't say multiplayer co-op, that mode could be interesting.

Yep, Microprose was one of the reasons I bought my old C64 in the first place! I owned pretty much every game they made for the C64.

They are remaking / remastering of one of my favorites for next year, Airborne Ranger:

Looks like Mechwarrior 2 with a different name. I've been playing a lot of Mechwarrior 5 lately which is quite good so I can't say I feel the nostalgia right now.
 
It's great seeing the Microprose name back, I'm following them on Steam. They seem to be backing smaller niche titles which are refreshing compared to the AAAA crap. I hope they keep growing and maybe revive more of the old IP they used to own.

Never heard of these but they look to be totally my jam, thanks for the tip.

I couldn't get into MW5 for some reason, it just didn't click with me.

It's good to have more than one game in this genre so I am glad to see MicroProse give this a shot.
