Steel Command playtest
A two‑person team just showcased Steel Command, a gritty sci‑fi RTS built around kinetic warfare with no shields, a full mission editor for custom campaigns, and a Steam playtest currently available — the dev posted a demo video (x.com). The pitch is old‑school army command with modular mission design for community-made content (x.com).
Steel Command’s Steam Playtest is published as a separate child app (AppID 4431050) linked to the main Steel Command app (AppID 4390280) and first appeared on Steam on February 27, 2026. (steamdb.info) The Steam store lists Smitty Games as both developer and publisher and shows the page currently has no user reviews while offering “Request Access” and a wishlist button. (store.steampowered.com) SteamDB’s record for the playtest identifies the engine as Godot and logs a recent metadata/changelog update on March 18, 2026. (steamdb.info) The store description names three asymmetrical factions—ASC (Allied Systems Coalition), KOR (Kore Operational Resistance) and IVN (Integrated Vanguards Network)—each presented with distinct combat philosophies. (store.steampowered.com) Public Steam charts for the playtest show an all-time peak of one concurrent player on February 27, 2026 and reported zero players live in the most recent snapshot. (steamdb.info) A reveal trailer and gameplay uploads for Steel Command are hosted on YouTube and the video descriptions include invites to wishlist the game on Steam and links to community channels such as Discord.
