Steel Empire Blasts Into Europe on 17th December, With a Discount Also Heading to North America

I can wait for a bigger discount. I want to play it but for 10$ or less. Otherwise I don't need it.

$15.99 is still too high for that game. $10 tops. although I'd prefer $7.

Europe gets a game that North America has had for months, if not years; to "celebrate", North America gets a discount for that very same game.

That's "lucky Europe that always gets the cool stuff" for ya.

@AlexSora89 I'd trade some over-priced Genesis re-release for a gorgeous physical edition of Fatal Frame V any day of the week.

Shovel Knight, Steam world dig and Pullbox to name just three are OK games, but are somewhat repetitive and not worth the asking price as they have no value once you have finished with them. More so if you give up before finishing the game.

While I would not pay full price for Chibi Robo I did pick it up for £12 and it is a far better game than any of the above games and it has a trade in value. Or I can let family or friends play it.

NL scored Chibi 60 which is fair enough at full price, but at £20 I would have given it 80. At £9 its a steal.

From the short video Steel Empire looks to be over priced and way over scored.

Europe waited months, but gets the lower price right off the bat. For $30 it was as if it never arrived for most people in NA.

Only game I would get in that list is Robot Rescue.

@Ralizah
True, there are times when being a European gamer pays off. But those times are most often a way to make up for the cold shoulder Europe gets on a regular basis... but I don't want this comment section to spiral down towards a flame war that nobody wants. It's just that... remember the 50-fact Extravaganza for Smash? The European equivalent to that video, when showing Masterpieces, listed EarthBound's release date as "2013". I know I should be glad that game came here, but on the inside, I still kinda feel slapped. Especially since most European gamers already played EarthBound via emulation by then.

This is pretty much Teyon's only good game.

Steel Empire is day one for me. I was waiting for it for a very loooong time

Long time arriving but looking very nice I'll definitely check this out.

I bought it last time it went on discount: it's worth it!

@AlexSora89
How about this: NA gets the better selection of games overall, while Europe gets the better special editions and game bonuses.

@manu0 All Teyon did for this one was publish it in America and Europe.

For those prices I would reccomend Cube Tactics and Groove Heaven.

Still too high like others have said. Under $10 is when I'll grab it as well.

This looks cool. A proper old-school shoot 'em up--and not a bullet hell game either.

Yeah I wanted Steel Empire but $30 was too much. Looking forward to playing it once it goes on sale.

@zool Regarding Shovel Knight and your "no value" comment, as I believe you're referring to resale value: http://yachtclubgames.com/2015/10/retail-update/ On top of this, DLC has been and will continue to be released for the game.

If I ever do play Steel Empire, it's going to be the original on a Genesis. No way am I giving Teyon any of my money after they have the gall to charge $30 for a remake of an early 90's game that all they did was publish and consider $16 a sale. And this is coming from someone who bought Radiant Silvergun off of eBay a few years ago without any regrets...

Got it for free, it's a fun and pretty looking game, but as said it isn't worth the asking price really, $10 or less is fine, you should get a few hours of gameplay from it, stuff to collect and can have replayability if you just want a random 2D shooter.

I want this game but I want this game to drop farther down in price. looks like a 10 dollar game.

Doesn't seem like any one of you are SHMUP fans, with all those 'I won't buy this game til it's really really cheap,' and 'It's not worth the asking price' comments. Only non-fans would say something like that. I just paid $34.99 for DariusBurst on the Vita and it's awesome. Steel Empire's visuals look really nice. Nintendo's handhelds barely have any SHMUPs compared to Sony's handhelds, and this looks like a steal at $15.99 whatever, although I'm in Canada so it'd probably be bumped up to $17 or so. It's nice to see quality SHMUPs on a Nintendo handheld, and not bullet hell either. I really hate bullet hell SHMUPs.

I probably wouldnt buy steel empire for more than 5.99 if sega can bring out all those 3d classics at 5.99 Teyon can do it. Thats a great price on Outdoors Unleashed a very fun hunting game on rails.

@Freelance My gripe with it is that they're charging near-full retail price for a remake. It may very well be an amazing shmup, but from everything I've read, the only thing they added in the 3DS port is an achievement system. Everything else is taken from the GBA or Genesis versions.

What I'm basically saying is the developers (and especially Teyon) are charging an arm and a leg (at $30) for minimal effort. Even if $16 really is a great price, I'm not buying it out of spite and would rather pay that much to a third-party seller for the Genesis or GBA cart, instead.

Still too expensive, far better off buying the EU or JP GBA cart and using that. It's just rubbing more glass, salt and lemon into an open wound doing what they're doing with it. Whatever 1/2 off for a few days doesn't make it right.
