Shattered Steel

Shattered Steel is a very good sci-fi shooting game. Pros: +Cinematic animations. +Graphical user interface. +Custom mapping. It also supports many input devices. +Use drag and drop feature to add weapons and equipment. +3D maps and mission briefing. +A small database of combat and civilian units. +Fierce battles and challenging missions. +Special events. Cons: -The game manual is a simple and crude summary. It doesn't explain the most important parts of single player mode. This manual only suggests you to read "online manual" for detailed information. However, the online manual does not existed anymore.

TOO OUTDATED WITH BROKEN CONTROLS CANT SEE WHERE IM GOING. WSD IS USELESS AND WAS LIED TO ON THE MENU AND THE MENU IS LAGGY
