After a cataclysm, Hunters—powerful machines created by humanity—fight across the ruins of an abandoned Earth for Starfall, a resource vital to human survival. You pilot one of these mechs as part of a duo.
In each hunt, teams pursue objectives and face PvE encounters while contending with other squads. The goal is to secure Starfall and extract, using combat tactics and the terrain to survive rival Hunters.
Hunters have distinct playstyles, abilities, weapons, and progression. You can upgrade your arsenal with gear and mods, collect boosters, and use or demolish buildings for cover and ambushes.
Players who enjoyed the game often praised its mech battles, the feel and visual design of the Hunters, and the differences between their abilities and playstyles. Some also liked the tactical movement and teamwork involved in fights. Many reviews express regret that the servers shut down, while others criticized the gameplay or technical state.
After a cataclysmic event, Hunters were created by mankind to safeguard the collection of an extraterrestrial resource crucial to human survival, known as Starfall. Driven by ruthless factions, these fearsome mechanical giants have now become the key to dominate the scarce resource across the ruins of a green but abandoned Earth.
Discover multiple Hunter playstyles and their destructive weapons, gear, mods, and abilities. Unleash raw power and obliterate your rivals.
Elevate your teamwork in the hunting grounds. Mastering your Hunters' unique abilities will keep you alive, but it's only by displaying perfect team synergy that you'll secure a victorious extraction.
Quick reflexes alone won't cut it. Instead, sound tactics will carve your path to extract with Starfall. Will you charge headfirst through other teams or exploit the terrain to outmaneuver them? Every hunt matters.
Each Hunter favors a distinct playstyle and has a unique progression system, making them a true menace in battle. Collect boosters and gear to gain an advantage in combat against your rivals.
Take control of an unstoppable machine. Smash through buildings to ambush your rivals or use structures as cover until they collapse under enemy fire.
Traverse the land to pursue dynamic objectives with multiple PvE encounters. Just keep in mind that when you're not hunting, you're being hunted.

| AI disclosure | During the beta phase of Steel Hunters, we may use AI-generated voices for certain in-game characters, including the announcer, to support our development process. The majority of the voices in the game are performed by real voice actors, and AI-generated voices will be replaced with human voices before the official launch. This helps us focus on delivering the best experience while the game is still in development. |
