Steelsplitter
A downloadable game for Windows
One shot - one kill. All enemies die in 1 hit, if you hit their weak point.
Steelsplitter is a wave based shooter with typical rogue-like elements such as perma death and upgrades.
There are 5 unique enemies. 3 melee 2 ranged. One of the ranged enemies is a flying one.
Upgrades
The game has 30+ upgrades, split between 3 categories:
- Common;
- Uncommon;
- Legendary.
After every wave you'll receive 3 upgrades to choose from.
Weapons
There are 4 extra weapons, not counting the base dagger. These include:
- Doom stick - used to break enemy weak point defenses;
- Runeblade - melee cleave;
- Dark Cleaver - homing axe;
- Ultra Rang - a boomerang that returns from where it was thrown, at any time it can be hit with your other weapons for an extra bounce (This is a mostly unfinished weapon).
You unlock these weapons over the course of the game, eventually acquiring all of them.
Altars
Altars allow you to get strong buffs whilst gaining some negative effects. These help you speed up the early game and add an element of strategic choice. There are 4 altars:
- Altar of Sacrifice;
- Altar of Blood;
- Altar of Durability;
- Altar of Frenzy.
Controls
in game:
WASD - Movement
Space - Jump
Left Mouse Button - basic dagger throw.
Right Mouse Button, Q, E, R - other weapons.
F - Interact with altars.
In menus:
Z, C - cycle menu left/right (if applicable).
Q - Cancel selection/go back.
E - Confirm selection.
WASD - Navigate buttons.
or you can use your mouse for menus.
The game is technically playable on controller, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Playing with keyboard and mouse is significantly better due to precision needed for aiming.
1.0.1 Patch notes
- Fixed high round soft lock (enemies stopped spawning);
- Fixed some typos.
Known issues
Drones getting stuck.
So if a wave seemingly doesn't end, search for a drone stuck behind something.

some boss would be sick btw
really fun and captivating only how am i supposed to heal without lifesteal???
lag is actually not terrable juts some quick freezes.
lag makes unplayable, and axe barely hits. great for good computers rough for ok computers (what I have) still super fun though spiders are almost impossible to hit.
Need music composer for your game? :D im Satou;VA from youtube i notice, your game have no song , i would like to get in contact with you
Got to level 60
Good game, played for an hour and 20 minutes, didn't even feel like that (That's how you know it's good)
Bro I got level 44 what level is the end
Ran without issue on my pc, 12600k, 6950xt, 64gb ddr4 3600mhz, 2tb nvme, win11. it was a lot of fun! and before i knew it, an hour was gone. Drones are punishing lol. i did get a lot of screen tearing and i don't use vsync/freesync. left the game capped at 60. But after the first 10 mins, i barely noticed it anymore as i was too busy running for my life lol
stop flexing nobody cares
it will not let me on it
For anyone wondering, you have to extract the Steelsplitter file before you can add it to steam as a non steam game.
they said that in the description dumb butt
does this work on Mac?
no ):
Missing soundtrack and points of interest on the map. Other than that, the game's great.
linux build pls
mac pleez
yes, please do
system specks plz
Strange issue, on a dual monitor setup its impossible to look in the direction of the other monitor
So I had risk of rain returns open.
plz put in steam, itch is a bit weird on my pc
Please make it available in play store
my pc thinks its a virus so it wont let me open it 😭
You can click more info and then override it
i wish i could execute the flying jerks
gun then other weapon in quick succesion
kablooey
an enemy index would be cool too idk
It could show: enemy names, ways to defeat, best weapon to use
Etc.
I find this game to be a bit annoying, i love the idea but i don't quite like the execution, and i also have a big ol' skill issue. my main problem is the drones, they are way to annoying to deal with and they are just too hard to hit, skill issue i know. it would be nice if the weak-point was larger or if the drones would stop moving after firing, until the weak-point goes away or otherwise.
maybe i should just get good?
If you have the upgrade Phantom Dagger (it's a green rarity) and Doom Stick, you can shoot to reveal their weak points then Phantom Dagger should finish them off
it's hard to get a new weapon, and I have the same prob as him
can you make it available to chrome
Install Steam, add it to your custom library and run it through proton.
Plz... PLZ... PLZ make it available for Mac!
If it is supported by Mac, it might just be my Mac version.
it won't work for me
how do i run the game i have only just made an account
nvm i just found out
and now i set the refresh rate to high and dont know how to fix it becuse its a black screen
drone is the best.
true =)
weakpoint dosnt stay out for 0.00001th of a second drone anoying
This freaking rocks!
how do I extract it from my file
I extracted and nothing happened, how do I actually play it
idk cant figure it out
click on the file until there is multiple options and click "steelspliter"
I have an Idea for the Boomerang/Ultra Rang:
-The Boomerang/Ultra Rang will now fly in a straight line forwards and will also return without any curves. (so it will attack two times)
-Also make it so you can charge it up. The more its charged, the bigger it will be, and it will have more cooldown.
-At max charge it will ignore weak points and will have a VERY long cooldown. (Like 30 seconds).
Ngl, the curve arc makes it more satisfying when throwing the boomerang, as I can often take down multiple drones while strafing backwards
Once i download how do i play it
gimme an odd shroom. NOW!!!!!!
why
How to download
u press the download button
and extract it from files.
but how do you play it
Give me a bit, I can record it, but here's a worded description, so, do u know how to open files, if so, open the main thing and I forgot the path, uh sorry ur gonna have to wait 5 or six hours, I'm at work rn, I'll help u tho
so i made a video to help but dont know how to share it if u wanna text me or uh message on insta or um messenger, that would work, no strings attached (feel like that this sounds sketchy so i decided to say that) so uh let me know if u need the vid, or i could email it to u
Ok after playing for a bit longer i have some notes i hope might be helpful,
1. too often did the axe hit one guy then hit a non weak point and do nothing
2. the spear men have a cool concept but i kept hitting the spear instead of the chest
3. I want more synergies (this is just a broad point i know but i do which my builds could have more complexity outside of living longer and shooting more often)
4. I love this game and plan on playing it often, but do wish there where more maps and a reason to move in said map so i don't just sit in one spot repeating the combat loop
all just constructive critique in hopes the game can improve even more, love it and would pay for an official release if improved.
Got up to wave 30, was really fun and hope this gets updated in the future
Anyone know how to modify upgrade values yet?
Great game takes some skil
I have formed a dopamine addiction
best addiction ever
great game i'd like to know if annyone got over round 200
