About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

Key Features

  • A new take on Battle Royale & Extraction: The game combines mechanics from Hero Shooters, Battle Royale, and Extraction. Players engage in battles with a unique Hunter within a PvPvE arena, pursuing various objectives to level up and acquire gear, ultimately culminating in a final showdown at the extraction point.
  • Master distinct mechanical giants: The fun of Steel Hunters lies in learning and mastering individual Hunters and using their ability kits and progression systems in the most effective way.
  • Tactics over reflexes: Unlike more traditional shooters, it's not all about short reaction time but understanding your Hunter strengths, weaknesses, abilities, cooldowns, and synergies. The maps allow for meaningful tactical choices and offer opportunities for flanking or ambushing enemies.
  • Duo Symbiosis: Cooperation is crucial to achieve victory. Whether you're playing with a friend or matched with another Hunter, combining tactics and abilities with your duo partner is what will make the difference in the Hunting Grounds.
  • Spectacular grounded gameplay: The game immerses the player into a highly realistic world and delivers a strong power fantasy thanks to spectacular battle mechs. Destructible environments on the map reinforce this while also allowing for more tactical gameplay.
  • High level of customization: Players can customize their Hunters with distinct build options, allowing them to create unique gear combinations. Additionally, collectibles and cosmetics offer opportunities to express personal style and individuality.
  • Maps and Modes: Steel Hunters maps feature both natural and urban environments, with dynamic, destructible terrain that encourages tactical gameplay.
    • 12 Players: Teams of two compete across a PvPvE map, completing diverse objectives and engaging in both combat and exploration.
    • Dynamic Objectives: Players must balance looting, progression, and survival, culminating in a final extraction showdown.
