Today we were finally able to release the Pixel Game Maker MV-created sword & sorcery action title Steel Sword Story!



Here we'd like to introduce you to some of the awesome characters you'll meet in the game.


The story's hero. Former Aurum Kingdom Imperial Guard. A skilled young swordsman, he was wrongfully accused of a crime and exiled. Some say that it was his love for the princess that angered the king.




The prime minister handling the daily affairs of Aurum Kingdom in place of King Ouro. His political skills, both externally and behind closed doors, are excellent, but his origins are a mystery.




Princess of Aurum Kingdom. Against her father's wishes, she has fallen in love with Azul, the Imperial Guardsman who has been protecting her since childhood.




King of Aurum Kingdom. Extremely strict, but not cruel. Somewhat naïve due to inheriting the throne in a time of peace, this naivete is taken advantage of by Rufus.




Bull demons summoned from the demon world by Rufus. Their jump and squash attack is powerful enough to raise the ground. Be careful not to get hit by the flames they spit from their mouths.



These are the guys and girls who will be appearing in the game and providing the story with its heart and soul.
We really just can't get over these painstakingly crafted pixel graphics, and we're sure you're gonna dig them, too!

We'll be back soon with more character introductions, so stay tuned!

Hello everyone,

The full version of 2D side-scrolling action game Steel Sword Story, created in Pixel Game Maker MV and currently available in Trial Ver. form, is scheduled for release on June 21st (Fri.).



A true old-school 2D action game to bring back memories of the good old days.





Having lost everything his status and been forced into exile, Azul faces off against the threat encroaching upon the kingdom with nothing but his rusty, old steel sword!





Your foes will come at you with all sorts of attacks!
Deftly evade injury - and death - and take each and every one of them down!







The boss battles are insane!
Grab your sword and conjure up some magic and fight to the death!

Steel Sword Story, while compact in size, is a surprisingly deeply crafted and fulfilling, high-quality game.
It's also extremely budget-friendly! Stick it in your Wishlist today and get ready for the full release!
