GFI has announced that Steam Slug, an action shooter game which allows players to enjoy a truly steampunk world in alternative history setting, will hit the store shelved in Q4 2009. In Steam Slug, the world at the end of XIX century history followed an alternative path and machines rose against the mankind. Smoking monsters with human brains encased in brass 'n' glass roam devastated cities. The skies are blackened with mechanical creatures, the streets are plagued with steam and blood. The only way of survival for you and for the mankind is to fight rogue engines and find the ultimate evil behind their creation: the mysterious Mephistopheles. The first five screenshots have been inserted in our gallery.
