What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Already after the first playtest of the game it became clear that there was a great community that was involved in the game. I want to keep that and continue building the game with the players. Not only taking suggestions but also feedback when it comes to mechanics and controls etc.
With early access I can keep the game live and get that feedback constantly. With that said it will be a living project and things might break every once in a while.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will stay in early access as long as it needs to. However I don't want it to stay there year after year. My guess is that it will move out of early access in the middle of 2022.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan after the full release is to add more maps, modes and tanks.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in a good state with most of the main features in place. There are two playable tanks and one level with a lot of placeholder art. You can play in multiplayer and there is also support for bots.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There is no plan to change the price after early access”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We already have a living community at discord where everyone is welcome to come with feedback, make friends and report bugs. Even if you are not taking part in the early access you are more than welcome to join.

About This Game

Welcome to Steel Crew!

Steel Crew is a game that is all about Tank vs Tank combat where you can join the crew of a tank together with up to two of your friends. Team up and join in on the 4 on 4 Tank battle!

Built for VR

Steel Crew is built from the ground up with VR as its focus. It does still support other inputs than motion controllers. Gamepad and mouse and keyboard are supported in both VR and on traditional screens.

Detailed interiors

All tanks come with fully detailed interiors in an attempt to reproduce them as accurately as possible.

Driver

The driver obviously drives the tank. All tanks have a manual gearbox so there will be a lot of gear shifting. The driver has a very limited view and often depends on the commander to tell them what to do. When driving with the hatch open the driver will have a much better view and can help spot other tanks but will be vulnerable to incoming machine gun fire. The driver is also the one who can see the current "health" of the tank.

Gunner

The gunner has two guns at their disposal. The main gun and a coaxial machine gun. The gunner's view is very limited and without help from the commander and driver they will have a hard time finding a target. However the gunner has a periscope and a scope with magnification. To aim the gun (using motion controllers) there are three controls. One crank to aim up/down, another one for side to side and there is also a lever to use the powered traverse for faster but less precise aiming.

Commander

The commander has no direct input on the tank itself but has a great view of the surroundings. The commander has a few tools to help them. They are the only player in the tank with a map that shows the position as well as the position of other friendly tanks. It also shows the capture points on the map and their current status. To help the commander spot enemy tanks they are equipped with a monocular that can be used when riding with the hatch open. Just like the driver, the commander is vulnerable to machine gun fire with their head outside the tank. The commander can also call in airstrikes and talk to other commanders in the team to synchronize their attacks.
