Hello everyone,
Steel Sword Story, the classic 2D side-scrolling action game that came to Steam in 2019, will receive a major overhaul update on June 11, 2024, becoming Steel Sword Story S! The original version will remain playable after the update, and the price of the game will also change once the update has been rolled out.

The game now has twice the content, controls better, and is more accessible than ever. Please look forward to the new and evolved Steel Sword Story S!

■ Steel Sword Story S on Steam - Changes

• New special moves such as Uppercut and Ground Slash!
  
• The map is now twice as big, with brand new areas to explore!
  
• New bosses, new mob enemies, and new items!
  
• New story segments, mainly in the final stage, that reminisce events that happened in the past and reveal truths of the story untold in the original Steel Sword Story.
  
• New Story Mode difficulty for players who might not be good at action games, but still want to enjoy the story until the end.
  
• 60fps for a smoother gameplay experience! (depending on your PC specifications)
  
• Steam trading cards and badges to collect!

Please note that once the game has been updated on June 11, the price of the game will be increased from $4.99 to $9.99.
Those who have purchased the game before the update will be able to play both the original and S versions. If you're interested and still haven't played the original Steel Sword Story, now's your chance to get both versions at a lower price!

Steel Sword Story was made in Pixel Game Maker MV, which is on sale for one week only!
From today (June 4), you can get PGMMV at 83% OFF!
You can also buy it bundled with Steel Sword Story, so buy it now before the price change for an even better deal!
