This update represents the first major version of Steelbreakers and includes a ton of new content since the original demo. Please enjoy the full release of Steelbreakers and play it with your friends! As usual, if you are interested in trying the game out with your friends online, I would recommend using Parsec that lets your friends connect to your computer and play with you! Please note that only one player can use the keyboard, while others need to use gamepads that support XInput.

Full Feature Set

Game Modes

Stock

Defeat all other players and be the last team standing to win. Change your team during character select by pressing left/right. Each time a player runs out of HP, they are defeated and lose a stock. If a player has stock remaining, that player will respawn at a random spawnpoint. If the player is out of stocks, they are removed from the game.

Relic

Players must pick up and hold onto the crown for the specified period of time in order to win. The counter resets when the relic is dropped for any reason (such as being hit or throwing it or falling off the stage while holding it).

Wave Defense

Select the number of waves of enemies you want to fight. Subsequent waves will include additional monsters. You can play this mode alone or as a team. If a map has monsters included normally, then the first wave will begin after clearing the original set of monsters. Best Time Records will be saved based on the chosen map, number of waves and number of active players.

Hunters

Compete with other teams to defeat the target amount of enemies before the other team can. Waves will progress as in Wave Defense mode. Best Time Records will be saved based on the chosen map and number of active players.

Beacon

Be the first team to activate the target number of beacons on the map by interacting with them. Beacons can be stolen by other teams by activating ones already active.

Target Practice

Destroy all of the targets on the map as quickly as you can. Best Time Records are saved based on the map selected and number of active players.
