''[[Steel Saviour]]'' is an obscure side-scrolling [[Shoot'Em Up]] game for the PC, developed by Atlanteq. The rather loose plot has your character pilot the titular ship in order to destroy strange, evil creatures threatening an unnamed planet. In this game, you gain powerups by scoring combos by destroying chains of enemies. Side weapons are available too, such as a [[More Dakka|machine gun]], [[Macross Missile Massacre|homing missiles]] and a [[Spread Shot]]. A [[Smart Bomb]] is available in the game as well.▼

The game contains five levels, the first four of which are based off [[Under the Sea|water]], [[Lethal Lava Land|fire]], [[Shock and Awe|lightning]] and [[Blow You Away|wind]]. The final level "[[Power of the Void|Void]]", is a bleak level whose terrain ''is'' the final boss itself.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Anti Frustration Feature]]: Once you manage to get to stage 2 and 3, you can start off from there in a new game instead of having to go through stage 1 again.
* [[Advancing Boss of Doom]]: The start of the second stage "Heat" has this weird flying horse-dragon machine hybrid thing chase you from behind, before it gets stopped by a narrow corridor. You get to fight it head-on later.
* [[Battle in
* [[Big Creepy
* [[Body Horror]]: [http://www.atlantide-design.it/SteelSaviour/sshots_hi/w3_snap421.jpg THIS] [[Mini Boss]]. And yes, those orange round things are homing.
* [[Breakable Weapons]]: Your secondary weapon can take damage for you, but in the process will lose ammo. When your secondary weapon's ammo is depleted, it breaks off.
Line 32 ⟶ 24:
* [[Cosmic Horror]]: The enemies ''might'' be these. They are apparently the planet's elements of life or something. The [[Final Boss]] is definitely this, though.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The background music of this game is one of the most fitting soundtracks ever, in terms of ambience. No, seriously.
<!-- * [[Deathtrap Boss]]: The third boss, some electrical ''thing'' that encloses a wall of generators behind you, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NDa-xxKUIk#t=02m07s uses said generators to summon lightning]. -->
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Well, the enemies are strange things that are supposedly the stolen life force of the planet, and you have to beat them, so...
* [[Dual Boss]]: The second [[Mini Boss]] of the [[Shock and Awe|energy-themed]] stage, two [http://www.atlantide-design.it/SteelSaviour/sshots_hi/w3_snap451.jpg weird flying things] that attack together. When one of them is defeated, the second one gets kinda ''[[Turns Red|pissed]]''.
* [[Eternal Engine]]: The last third of the [[Shock and Awe|electric-themed]] stage has giant rotating gears and a pair of deadly crushing walls.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|Fire]] <s>[[Fire, Ice, Lightning|Ice]]</s>[[Under the Sea|Water]] [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|Lightning]]: The first three stages are based off water, fire and lightning.
* [[Giant Eye of Doom]]: The [[Sequential Boss|final part]] of the [[Final Boss]] has you fighting his gigantic eye. Naturally, [[Go for
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Every. Single. Mook. Most of them have ''waaaaay'' [[Incredibly Durable Enemies|too much health]]!
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: Trust me, your hitbox isn't as small as you think...
Line 46 ⟶ 38:
* [[Kung Fu-Proof Mook]]: One of the enemies in the third stage is an electrical orb surrounded by four smaller ones that orbit it. Turns out, as long as one of the smaller ones is alive, it will project [[Deflector Shields]] around the big one. You will have to take down the smaller orbs before you can destroy the big one.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Stage 2, "Heat", takes place in a lava cavern.
* [[Mecha
* [[Mechanical Horse]]: The miniboss of stage 2, "Heat" is a weird [http://www.atlantide-design.it/SteelSaviour/sshots_hi/w2_snap393.jpg flying horse-robot thing] that fires out fireballs from it's... hover thing.
* [[Mini Boss]]: Full of 'em.
Line 53 ⟶ 45:
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: The boss of "Heat", a mechanical dragon.
* [[Real Time Weapon Change]]: You can easily swap between the [[Spread Shot]], Missiles and Machine Gun at the press of a button.
* [[Robeast]]: A
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The 3D-esque graphics of your character, the enemies and the scenery are simply wonderful. Also, the ambience, such as lava, glows appropriately.
* [[Sea Mine]]: The first stage's [[Mini Boss]], a large boat thingy, drops these on you. Get out of the way or destroy them quick before they blow up in a [[Sphere of Destruction]]!
Line 59 ⟶ 51:
* [[Sequential Boss]]: The [[Final Boss]] is one of these- you fight parts of it throughout the entire level. In fact, the [[Final Boss]] '''''IS''''' the level itself!
* [[Shock and Awe]]: The third stage, "Purity" is an energy-themed one. "Energy" as in the form of electric traps, lightning strikes, [[Deflector Shield]] enemies, and floating neon tubes that shoot sparks at you.
* [[Shout
* [[Smart Bomb]]: You have a smart bomb for use in dire situations.
* [[Spider Tank]]: One of the enemies in the [[Lethal Lava Land|second stage]] and the [[Blow You Away|fourth stage]] is this. Be careful of its [[Spread Shot]]!
