Steel Legion: Introducing a new NES homebrew metroidvania-style game that takes players on a journey through a dystopian cyberpunk universe.

Developed by Aeon & Star Interactive. Players embark as cyborg commandos in their mission to protect humanity from the evil AI threatening its existence.

Four interconnected stages with unique challenges and secrets to uncover. With abilities like hyper jumps and special missiles, players can access previously locked areas and overcome bosses. Meet NPC characters that bring depth and change locations throughout your quest.

Featuring classic 8-bit pixel art and a hard rock chiptune soundtrack, the game delivers an authentic nostalgic experience while adding modern twists. Fans of Metroidvania games will appreciate its homage to classic NES adventures with a focus on exploration and skill development.

Developers’ Update:

With the successful Kickstarter campaign funding, Aeon & Star Interactive is moving towards a physical release with various tiers offering collectors a chance to get unique merchandise and soundtracks. For those eager to experience the game, Steel Legion is now available as an NES ROM on itch.io.
