Tate Multimedia today released their action racer 'Steel Rats' for PlayStation 4, in which your bike becomes a weapon and you fight in war against an invading horde of alien scrap robots.
Steel Rats is a passionate and groundbreaking evolution of the 2.5D action arcade genre. The game's gameplay combines brutal motorcycle battles, death-defying stunts, and a visually stunning retro-futuristic world. Switch between four unique and upgradeable characters as you wreak havoc and defend your city from an invading armada of scrap robots.
Regarding the story, it also says:
"The fearless reporter Veronica Vance is on the scene, reporting on how this disaster begins and uncovering the first details about the heroic biker gang who are doing what all good biker gangs do: saving their city from the aliens. Where did the Junk Bots come from? Who sent them? Is that really a toaster they're using as a weapon of mass destruction? These are the questions plaguing the citizens of Coastal City. This special video edition of the Coastal Post offers a first look at the invading fleet and what has reduced the city to rubble. The courageous 'Steel Rats' biker gang, seeing no other option than to defend their city against the invading horde, consists of many unique characters and personalities. With spectacular motorcycle skills, leather shoulder pads, and covered in spikes, they hit the streets at full throttle, ready for the all-out assault."
Steel Rats is available now for €19,99, and the game's soundtrack can also be purchased optionally.
