Additionally, Kot-in-Action founder Alexander Zubov said, "We are very excited to have Steel Storm on the Desura digital distribution service and hope that it will bring success to our game projects current and future."
“Top down shooters have long been a genre dominated by innovative indies and Steel Storm does a fine job of keeping up the tradition. Expect the usual tons of explosions interspersed with objectives and worlds to explore. Great to be working with Kot-in-Action on Desura” said Scott Reismanis, Desura founder.
