Steel Assault

A tribute to everything 8bit.
The hero is a cyborg. So it’s a tribute to Mega Man.

But he shoots grapling hook. So it’s a tribute to Bionic Commando.
But he uses a whip. So it’s a tribute to Castlevania.

The game is brutal, to the point I had to look up a guide how to beat midboss on a second level. The only relaxation is that you have unlimited retries, and frequent checkpoints (although they could have added a checkpoint before the bosses).
