С первого знакомства Steel Seed ощущается как симбиоз популярных игр. Авторы явно вдохновлялись Horizon Zero Dawn, NieR: Automata и Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Чем дольше играешь, тем яснее понимаешь: разработчики стремились объединить любимые идеи и концепции в одном проекте. Однако в эпоху расцвета инди-сцены такие эклектичные эксперименты, не предлагающие свежих идей, нередко оказываются не слишком увлекательными.
