Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is an unusual production, which the creators described as "inspired by steampunk, based on turn-based strategic action game". This is the work of a talented Japanese Intelligent Systems studio, to which we owe the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series, among others.

The action of the game takes place in nineteenth-century London, which is a victim of an invasion by aggressive beings from space. Our task is to counter the danger by leading a unit of four soldiers from the elite formation S.T.E.A.M. - its abbreviated name develops as Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace (in free translation: Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace).

The element of the action is visible in the discussed production in terms of perspective - the battlefield is seen from the arm of a single soldier, i.e. through the view of TPP. The clashes take place in the turn-based system and have a tactical dimension. The player must be cautious about the resources at his disposal (especially the pair, which is the source of energy that drives human technology), resorting to tactics such as flanking and dragging the enemy into ambushes and taking him into a crossfire. As the missions continue, soldiers acquire better and better equipment, providing them with a wider range of possibilities and the chance to do more damage in foreign ranks.
