Steel Rats 3rd Anniversary: The Screamer

From concept to reality. The Screamer became the definitive foe of Steel Rats!

The bulky beast appeared at events, complete with working screens. A true example of heavy metal





The Screamer wasnt always rocking more screens than your average Twitch streamer. At one stage, it featured cages that contained hapless humans. Its body was similar to that of a large engine, complete with thick smoke coughing from large cylinders on its side.



The process of ideas on paper, to pixels on the screen (or in this case, giant pieces of steel at an expo!) is long and always changing. Think of it like water going into different containers. Sometimes the container is shaped like a human stealing robot, other times it's a multiple TV headed metal beast!


For those curious about how exactly we brought The Screamer to life, check out this video!

[previewyoutube=WZtAVSPnE3g;full][/previewyoutube]



Steel Rats is 50% off until November 8th as part of our third-anniversary celebration.

Wreck and ride with the Steel Rats 3rd Anniversary!



3 years ago, the Steel Rats began revving their engines. On November 7th, 2018 rubber was burned, scrap was gathered and junkbots were obliterated. In celebration of Steel Rats anniversary, were taking some time to reflect. From concept and development to the full release and youre invited to join us for a ride through the coolest dieselpunk universe in video games.

[previewyoutube=x1-fIU4DI_Y;full][/previewyoutube]

Well be powerslide through the archives to reveal exactly how an alternative 1940s American Coastal City falls victim to mean machinery programmed to wipe out humanity. Showcasing art, storyboards, a giant promotional junkbot we took to events (no, really), rap tracks and music from Japanese band The 5.6.7.8's (yes from the Kill Bill Part 1), and more.

Put the pedal to the metal and spin those wheels towards our social media to get involved in our Steel Rats 3rd anniversary.

Controller Issue - how to fix it?

Hi guys,
some of you have encountered a problem with a controller.

The issue is related to the Steam bug, that might be hard to fix from our side. Since there is a workaround known to fix the issue, I suggest sticking to it.

Mentioned workaround:
1. Open Steam Library.
2. Find and Right-click on the Steel Rats.
3. Choose the "Properties" as shown on the first screen
4. In GENERAL tab open the drop down list under the "Steam Input Per-Game Setting".
5. Select Forced On as shown on the second screen.






Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope that from now on you can fully experience gameplay of Steel Rats.

Steel Rats Update 1.1



Hiya Bikers,
As the developer we're keen to hear from you. We gather every bit of feedback, we are getting and we plan to use it to improve our game, based on your feelings.
Update Includes following tweaks and changes:


  • Balanced HP, Energy, Junk and Points amount needed to unlock Abilities
  • Motorcycles Max Speed is decreased (however max speed with wheelsaw turned on is the same)
  • Usage of wheelsaw now consumes Energy
  • BB ability doesnt consume Energy anymore
  • When attacking with Wheelsaw, Motorcycle will auto-target to the nearest Junkbot
  • Vertical riding restores Energy (Wheelsaw FX colored blue)
  • Motorcycles are heavier, they dont flip upside down so easily
  • Drone Junkbots attack faster and deal more Damage
  • Hitting the walls at high-speed results in a crash and losing HP
  • Falling upside down results in a crash and losing HP
  • Barbed Wire doesn't stop motorcycle anymore
  • Reminders of Tutorials added (we display some crucial controls instructions for the second time so you dont have to worry about skipping them)
  • Bug fixes


Hope that those changes will maximize your fun with Steel Rats
