Steel Reign is a classic third-person tank shooter from 1998 made for the PlayStation. In 2030, the world, after years of peace and prosperity, is going back to becoming a Crapsack World. War and worldwide depression has since driven country after country down the road to despotism and military rule. Gerald Storm and Lewis Reign were accepted into the prestigious Military Institute of Technology, where they excelled their chosen fields of Armored Assault Vehicle Design and Implementation. Immediately after graduation, both were sent to take part in the Crimean Conflict and rose to the rank of General in record time. General Storm went to become the executive aid of the Chief of Staff and used his influence to assign General Reign to a secret research facility somewhere in the nuclear-ravaged wastelands of the Southwestern United States, where he would command the development of a new generation of armored combat vehicles.Storm then gathered his forces and started a revolution by declaring martial law. He intends to utilize the Super Prototype tanks Reign is developing to aid his revolution. Reign, of course, isn't letting that happen. He downloaded all the valuable information regarding the Super Prototype tanks and put a bullet in the motherboard. Just to make sure that nothing is left, he activated the self-destruct sequence of the base and evacuated by getting on board the closest tank he can find. Knowing Storm demands the capture of Reign and the Super Prototype tanks, our hero takes the fight to him with the intend of stopping the revolution.The game is rather simple. It has two single player modes: Arcade and Quest. In Arcade, you can switch tanks in between the missions and unlock more tanks which are hidden in every level as a pick up item. In Quest, you play through the entire game with your chosen tank, with whatever condition your tank is in (health, shield functionality, ammo, etc) brought over towards the next missions. In both modes, you start of with three tanks: the Sidewinder, the Diamondback and the Copperhead. Two player mode is a head-to-head battle, with all tanks (except the Anaconda) made available and battles fought in a wide variety of arenas. | |

Easter Egg | |

Easter Egg: In the canyon level blowing up rocks will reveal a fossil in them. Even more interesting is that if you kill a big rock and look behind it, and The Monolith awaits. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: The Phython. For something that's supposed to be a Super Prototype, its nothing more than a jacked up Chevrolet Blazer with a small turret mounted on it. Should be easy target right? Well, its very fast, has very strong shields to compensate for poor armor and a Special Weapon that will blow damn near everything up in one or two hits. | |

Animal Theme Naming | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_427ca0d0 | comment |
Animal Theme Naming: Every single tank in the game is named after a kind of snake, or something relating to a snake such as the Copperhead snake or their movement with sidewinder. Desert King may refer to how certain species of snakes are excellent hunters in desert areas. | |

Not Completely Useless | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_54ec2f0c | comment |
Not Completely Useless: The mines are a joke weapon in most missions only used for certain objectives and no sane person would even try using them against an enemy unless desperate. Then in the final battle thanks to the various hills and altitude variations as well as the boss's movements; they are actually one of the most effective weapons since they can deal heavy damage on him while you can stay out of his line of fire. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Hover Tanks. They are very fast and can easily wreak havoc if you go on running around shooting. However, their Single Shields deplete much more quickly than Quad Shields and the tanks themselves have paper thin armor. Special shotouts to Venmon here which is by far the fastest tank in the game; but its armor seems to be made of tinfoil and crisps and its shields are just as bad. Since every enemy locks onto you, driving it is a good way to die very quickly. Two of the missions are clearly designed with these kinds of ships in mind; where bringing a slow giant like copperhead is a death sentence. | |

In the last mission, Storm awaits you atop a plateau in his own Super Prototype. His Hover Tank is fast, can strafe, heavily armored, has a turret and spews a crap ton of dakka at you. That One Boss indeed. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: The result of firing Phoenix Missiles in quick succession. The Sidewinder and to a lesser extend, the Death Adder, invoke this with their Special Weapons. The former fires four missiles at once while the latter fires two. Complete with some Robo Teching. Even better when you use the Special Weapon and Phoenix Missiles together. Both the Death Adder and the Fang can carry more Phoenix Missiles than any other tank in the game to compensate for their inability to use Cannons. | |

Oh, Crap!: The cameraman and reporter when they notice various dangers about to hit them like a tank or a rocket. The cameraman doesn't bother getting out of the way of the latter. Every player's reaction when they enter the range of a laser pylon where it will very suddenly; and loudly, lock-on and damage the ship When a boulder starts rolling in your direction. Good thing those tanks are fast to reverse. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Steel Reign (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: On the Aracde mode you cant change Tanks between levels. Since each level has a tank type its designed for, using anything other than a Jack of All Trades tank is going to make progression near impossible. Copperhead and Venom for example are a good way to drive someone insane, since several levels require speed and lasers to beat; things the former lacks while others are filled with lock-on attacks that hit hard; which Venom will die pitifully quick to. | |
